"Films are identified with social changes... They have the knack to catch the future developments. Films help integrate our people who speak hundreds of different languages and thousands of dialects, the vastly diverse cultures, boost tourism in a big way and help generate employment opportunities, thus contributing immensely to the nation-building process," Modi said.
Moreover, he pointed out that Indian films represent the country around the world, show a ‘mirror' to the people outside, help improve our image globally, with our films, music, songs, stars creating a long-lasting impact in many countries.
Besides, he said films with social messages like the need for toilets can catch the popular imagination and many filmmakers are already making a conscious effort in this direction, plus science and development, integrating films and theatre and other aspects of modern times.
