The Influence of Indian Religions and Philosophical Schools on Indian Popular Cinema

Abstract:
The phenomenology of Indian popular films, based on identifying both the philosophical and technical codes, is a prolegomenon for achieving a domestic dialogue as a global popular culture. The formation of the dialogues based on the structure of the indigenous philosophical and religious thought, and creation of a romantic, dreamy and imaginary world influenced by the philosophical, religious and mythological components and elements, have provided the possibility of realization of a global phenomenon regarding traditionalism and Indigenism. The main concern of this article is to survey the paradoxical narrative dialogue of the Indian popular cinema which besides its "mass production", "stereotypes", "audience-oriented approach" and … reflects the philosophical and religious heritage of the land. But the artistic and the intellectual works of the Indian cinema, in spite of their strong realism, characterization, poetic language and … are not able to express the minimums of the Indian cultural, ethnic, traditional, intellectual and philosophical identity.
