Sobriety in media and movies

It was sad to see Farooq Sheikh go. This is a big loss to nation and entire humanity. There are very few examples today who can match his sobriety and humanity. He performed with dignity and a very high degree of development of human emotions. Today's life is getting more and more deprived of such emotions. It is very rare to see true human emotions in cinema today which is now focusing more on xyz crore club. Emotions if at all displayed, looks fake. This lack of human emotions in life exactly is the reason we see frustration and negativity in society.

It is commonly said that film industry is all about business and it is not their responsibility to give any social message. This is where people like Farooq Sheikh gave how it should be. True it is work and business even then it can be done in a way that it helps society in human development be it emotions, art, culture and other human aspects. After all we all know the impact of media and especially celebrities like cine stars who can do wonders for the society. Cinema reflects but it also affects mindset of people.

The overall grace and sobriety in cinema must be held high. People in industry must realize that they owe a lot to society and must feel motivated to think beyond money and think about good cinema and human development both on screen and off screen that can boost art, culture, sobriety and other positive human aspects in society.

Time to wake up the sober human being within.
