INTRODUCTION:
India is the one of the earliest civilizations and largest democracy in the world with a population of over 1.2
billion people .people here are segregated culturally by religion and these individual cultures unite through
festivals and celebrations like Christmas, Diwali, Holi, Eid and so on. The culture and People are so diverse
that more than the democratic government, The two things that unite the country are cricket and films.
India, despite having a diverse culture, is united by cricket and movies. The indian films especially play a major role in
bringing people together by its content and narrative. Also, movie theatres are a place where people from different
culture and religion gather and share common interests.

Major film industries in india

India produces the largest number of films annually, the number of films made being 1500 per year on an average,
which is almost 3 times as much as the number of films made in the united states. Yet, the reach of the film industry
is limited to a very small number.

Being the largest democracy in the world with more than 1.2 billion population, the reach of the film industry is
limited to only 45 million. This is quite low comparing when one compares it with the middle class population of the
country, Which is as high as 300 million. The movies need to reach out more as they are now a part of indian culture
and more people need to contribute to it.

SITE AREA : 120 ACRES

LOCATION : Manapet village,Pondicherry,India.
Which is about 15km towards south from District headquarters Pondicherry. Cuddalore District is west
towards this place . It is near to the Tamil Nadu State Border. It is near to bay of bengal.
SITE JUSTIFICATION : Puducherry is becoming a favourite spot for film producers and many films shot at
Puducherry have been very successful. Undoubtedly, this (Cinema village) will encourage students for
learning about films, producers and film directors to shoot their films in Puducherry and will boost cinema
tourism.
The city’s tree-lined boulevards, beach-front and streetscapes that exude an old-world charm and draw
tourists from across the world have also served as a setting for film-makers to advance their plots.
While Mozhi, Ko and Billa II in Tamil and Swapnakoodu and Doubles in Malayalam are among the films in
recent times that have marked Puducherry’s tryst with cinema, it was perhaps after Ang Lee trained his
cameras on the Botanical Garden to recreate the zoo scenes in the blockbuster Life of Pi (2012), that film
tourists began flocking to this former French enclave.
