Urdu Film Industry

Few days back saw Dil Chahta Hai probably for the 3rd or 4th time. This movie was released in 2001 and was a big hit. This time it was different instead of watching I was analyzing and shocked how a film can influence the culture. We assume that Bollywood films are in Hindi however, this statement acts as a camouflage and the actual language is Urdu. I have no doubt that my generation thinks that they talk in Hindi however, they are actually using Urdu to communicate without realizing the impact.

Language is the vehicle of imbibing culture. The local sayings are very much linked to the culture of the society. Imitations or translations for the purpose of knowledge is agreed but here there is nothing Bharatiya. The inherent culture of this country is made a joke on these same platforms and we the Bharatiya Janata who without realizing support this.

Sanskritized hindi is made fun of but appreciations for persianized / arabized hindi is rampant.

I am sure people who are reading this will ignore as an unnecessary waste of time. Still honestly urge you all to give it a thought.
