Except Govinda in his 90’s movies no big actors even used to enact the scenes of praying to God.

In some movies Govinda even treated his close one’s who were not even biologically related to him as God which is the true depiction of Indian values.

Like Rajesh Khanna in Swarg or Aruna Irani in Raja Babu;

But since 2000’s the remaining sentiment also faded away and it moved more towards mockery.

There have been many movies like Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, 102 Not Out etc. where the protagonists inspite of being Hindus went on to pray in Church and Dargah tried to find eventual solutions.

Though many religious beliefs have been questioned over the years. The small difference is, where all the religions are questioned, Hinduism is ridiculed, and the ridicule is highlighted in a long sequence of the movies like ‘PK’ when one of the most gentle and greatest Hindu god, Shiva (a person acting as Shiva in a nautanki, not actual Shiva) is shown crawling under the seats or hiding in a toilet.

But fortunately we have the South Indian Film industry who are still respecting values of Hinduism and keeping them alive.

Let us take example of Tamil Movie 7 Am Arivu where they promoted Indian virtues and values and have also highlighted the importance of being united.

Here they also told how the foreigners have been manipulating us with their reforms. Karate being inspired from Kalaripayattu and Yoga being inspired from our Yog.

But better marketing and our lesser awareness about history, propaganda movies and distorted content has lead to various manipulations.

Actors like Nagarjuna and Rajinikanth are superstars and in their career they have amazingly excelled playing famous divine characters.

How many Bollywood superstars even belonging to Hindu religion have played saint or divine characters in their prime?

People like Prabhas who played lead role in Baahubali are real heroes and told the world real meaning of Shiva.

With the rising popularity of dubbed movies I hope that the day would come where Bollywood also realizes the progressive nature of our Hindu values and traditions.
