Description

Abstract: This research investigates the transformative impact of English language films on the Indian media industry, analyzing their influence across content creation, distribution, exhibition, and audience preferences. The ascendancy of English films, driven by global cinematic trends and digital accessibility, has spurred a creative renaissance, fostering cross-cultural narratives and reshaping storytelling techniques. The study explores the dynamic shift in distribution and exhibition patterns, with English films challenging traditional regional cinema in both theaters and digital platforms. The evolving audience preferences, characterized by a heightened demand for high-production English language films, present both opportunities and challenges. While opening avenues for international collaborations and global recognition, the dominance of English films raises concerns about the potential overshadowing of regional cinema. The future outlook underscores the industry's need to strike a delicate balance, leveraging global opportunities while safeguarding the diverse landscape of regional cinema, ensuring a harmonious blend of global appeal and cultural authenticity.
