- Abstract
- This study examines how Bollywood films portray the Indian education system through qualitative textual analysis of 17 films. The research highlights themes such as political influence, social inequality, corruption, teacher exploitation, and the commercialization of education. It shows how Bollywood uses storytelling to raise awareness about systemic issues while promoting values like motivation, resilience, and hard work. The study concludes that Bollywood shapes public understanding of education by encouraging critical reflection on social realities and presenting education as a means of personal empowerment and social transformation.
