THE SCENARIO OF CHILDREN FILMS IN INDIA

For a country rich in both grannies tales and celluloid ventures ,it is a surprise that India has never had a consistent record when it comes to films for children. mainstream cinema stretch itself in simultaneously

appealing to every taste bud with the result that niche market, like those for children, were never on the agenda of most production

houses. the result was that most children films became relegated to a sidelines or were dependent on state patronage

However, thanks in part to some visionary directors and CFSI (a government agency) , Indian film making centered around kids have

produced a few memorable film that would make it to any must –watch list of Indian cinema

WHAT IS CFSI Children's Film Society India (CFSI) was founded soon after India's

independence by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, whose affection for children is well known. Pandit Nehru established CFSI with the hope that indigenous and exclusive cinema for children

would stimulate their creativity, compassion and critical thinking. CFSI produce, exhibit and distribute quality content for children: from

feature films, shorts, animations to television episodes and documentaries

CONCLUSION We have observed that in India there is a large scope for children

movie. But still we do not have so many children film maker and directors. Young new comer directors should come forward to make films in this genre. Not only Children but also adults love to watch entertaining children movies. Children's can learn so

many good things in an entertaining way and they can increase their imagination power. In commercial perspective too these kinds of films are very beneficial . So we should motivate film

makers to make such films by which children's can be influenced in positive way.
