There are lots of bollywood movies who illustrate the traditional values.. looking at different i decided to use DEVDAS and KABIE KHUSHI KABIE GHAM and 1 news article showing 

"hows Bollywood movies reinforce traditional values in their movies"

My initial idea

WORLD CINEMA- BOLLYWOOD!

After researching i decided to look upon how important values are shown in bollywood movies and how they reinforce asian  values  and also how the older generation provoke the younger generation to watch and learn theses traditional values.


                                                       


 Yash is a rich and famous business man in india who believes in keeping traditions and does not believe in love marriages. Yash's older son falls in love with a middle class girl, he then betrays him for not considering her social status and disowns him....

I also looked at another bollywood film which also shows the importance of values and traditions.


Yuvvraaj is a film of money vs family...




 Deven Yuvvraaj  is a struggling singer who signs an agreement with his girlfriend Anoushka’s father Dr. Banton to become a billionaire in 40 days. To acquire this wealth, he has to go through an emotional roller coaster journey of joy and pain with his two estranged brothers.


After watching this movie to get a more of an insight of the movie i realised that i didnt show much of the tradition value in the movie so i started to search for another.
