Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has raised concerns about the way films portray negative characters. Speaking at a cultural event in Varanasi, he said cinema has influenced society deeply, especially young audiences. He argued that showing criminals or anti-social elements as heroes sends the wrong message.
Impact of Cinema on Society and Youth
Adityanath emphasized that storytelling shapes public perception and behavior. He noted that earlier films sometimes blurred the line between right and wrong, which affected moral values. He warned that repeated glorification of villains could lead to admiration for such characters among viewers.
Call for Responsible and Value-Based Filmmaking
