Parallel Cinema

Cinema is a very powerful instrument that may be applied in both directions. Both individuals and films have an impact on each other. Because it both reflects and has an impact on our society, Parallel Cinema is crucial. The paintings of Sen, Benegal, and Ray sent their audience a political statement regarding the societal problems they depicted. Parallel Cinema, which drew inspiration from Italian Neorealism, appeared just before the French, Japanese, and Indian New Waves in the 1960s.

The rise and fall of parallel cinema

The 1970s and 1980s saw the peak of parallel cinema in India. Parallel cinema gave careers to a whole new breed of young actors at the time including Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Amol Palekar, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Pankaj Kapoor, Deepti Naval, Farooq Shaikh, and even actors from commercial cinema like Hema Malini, Raakhee, and Rekha who ventured into art cinema. However, due to the commercialization of films in the early 1990s, parallel cinema saw a fall. Parallel cinema films are primarily made using funds and the rising costs involved in film production made it difficult to make parallel films. However, it can be seen that there is a resurgence in parallel cinema once again.
