movies bane or boon

Answer:
Cinema, a boon or a bane?
Cinema, in India, is a million dollar industry. While all other industries are involved in making products that help people to improve their living standards and to reduce their daily chores, cinema is engaged in making a product that is meant for just entertainment but with a colossal budget.
What we have to understand here is the fact that a parallel economy is being maintained by cinema for its entertainment business. Without no constructive activity whatsoever the Indian film industry’s annual revenue was around 23,800 crores in the year 2020 which is about one third of the Government’s budget for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for the year 2020-21.
With such a huge budget, films are made only to entertain people. People at large do not get any benefit worth mentioning except the cheap entertainment.
The only people who are actually benefited are the people involved in the making of cinema namely the producers, actors and other technical personnel. It can be easily inferred that the amount spent is not commensurate with the benefits people get. Can a country like India where basic sanitation and water supply are still a dream for many and poverty is rampant, afford to splurge on cinema?
Cinema industry has been converted into a money spinning racket. It is well known that money lenders play a key role in financing the film projects for making huge profits. In the process it does not exhibit any guilt for exploiting the immaturity of the gullible and the volatility of the youth. Social norms and values are thrown to the winds.
