Abstract

Cinema most particularly appears to have always grabbed the attention of millions of masses across the globe. Projecting itself as one of the most pivotal sources of entertainment and information, the cinema not only rejoices a very prime positioning in the public domain but also serves as a tool in impacting the minds and hearts of people worldwide. Different age groups be it the children, teenagers, matured individuals, or the aged ones, cinema is cherished by almost everyone and is also identified as the mirror of the society. Cinema secures a crucial stand in the societal perspective as it is considered to be one of the most significant portrayals of ideas, belief, culture, perceptions, norms etc by way of providing amusement to everyone. This portrayal if lacks appropriate supervision and not brought forth in a responsible manner, would hamper the peace, order and discipline of the society. Therefore, associating ourselves with the above factor, we can deduce that censorship and certification of films would play a major role in this context.
