Table of Contents
Background
Films are the mediums by which many stories are told and communicated to people. Filmmakers make films for entertainment, educational purpose, policymaking, campaign, movements, etc. Films are having a long-lasting impact on human minds. Some films are based on a social issue that shows the real scenario of our society, and some are on socio-legal issues. Movies like Court (2014), Pink (2016), Article 15 (2019), Section 375 (2019), and Jai Bhim (2021), based on socio-legal aspects, made a significant mark at the national and international levels. Few films show tremendous homework before giving it into a form of storytelling. The film Jai Bhim got featured on the official youtube channel Oscars. This film is based on actual life incidents and leaves an indelible mark on viewers’ minds. There are many other national and international films that are based upon socio-legal issues and succeeded in giving a strong message to society. Some institutions impart education and training through film watching, critical appraisal, and discussion on various aspects. Looking at the same we organized the 1st Edition of the Article Writing Competition on Law and Film in the year 2022 and received very good responses across the country. This 2nd edition is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast to pen down their thoughts, insights, and critics in the form of an article.
