One of the most important phenomena of our time has been the development of cinema from a turn of the century mechanical toy into the century's most potent and versatile art form. In the early phase cinema was used variously as an extension of photography, as a substitute for the theatre and the music hall.Today the cinema commands the respect accorded to any other form of creative expression.In complex to its creative process , it combines in various measures the function of poetry, music, painting, drama, architecture and a collaboration of other arts, major or minor.It also combines the abstraction of the human imagination.It was perhaps inevitable that the cinema should have found the great impetus in America. a country without any deep routed cultural and artistic traditions was perhaps best able to appraise the new medium objectively.But the question is why India is far behind America while having much reach culture ,artistic tradition.It is easy to tell the world that film production in india is quantitatively second only to Hollywood:but that is a statistical fact.But can the same be said of its quality? Why are our films not shown abroad? It is solely because India offers a potential market for her own products ? Or are we just ashamed of our films?
