BEYOND ENTERTAINMENT AN EXAMINATION OF HINDI CINEMA'S INFLUENCE IN ADVANCING THE HINDI LANGUAGE

Author(s) Dr. Kitty Mukherjee, Dr. Ujjval Chandra Das
Country India
Abstract The Hindi film industry, popularly known as Bollywood, serves as a powerful catalyst for the promotion and globalization of the Hindi language. Hindi films have significantly shaped cultural narratives and influenced societal behaviors across generations, both within India and globally. This study examines the multifaceted impact of Hindi cinema on the Hindi language, highlighting its role as a key driver in its dissemination. By analysing historical milestones, societal shifts, and contemporary trends, this research elucidates the symbiotic relationship between Hindi films and the language. From the golden era’s classics to modern blockbusters, Hindi cinema transcends geographical boundaries, fostering a shared cultural identity among diverse audiences through its unique blend of entertainment, storytelling, and cultural representation.
The significance of Hindi films in advancing the language lies in their ability to merge mass appeal with deep cultural resonance. Since the release of Alam Ara in 1931, India’s first sound film, spoken Hindi became integral to filmmaking, bringing the language into homes, public spaces, and global consciousness. The poetic dialogues of the 1950s and 1960s, enriched with Urdu, elevated Hindi’s aesthetic appeal and embedded it in collective memory through iconic films like Mother India and Mughal-e-Azam. Over time, the evolution of cinematic language—from the colloquial Hindi of 1970s hits like Sholay to the Hinglish of modern films like Dil Chahta Hai—has made Hindi accessible and relevant to diverse audiences, including urban youth and the Indian diaspora. Internationally, Bollywood films on platforms like Netflix preserve linguistic heritage, while memorable dialogues and songs serve as informal tools for language learning. Hindi cinema thus acts as a dynamic force, preserving, adapting, and globalizing the Hindi language while reinforcing its cultural and linguistic vitality.
Keywords Hindi films, Bollywood, Hindi language, global influence, film industry, Hindi dialogues, songs.
