Bollywood entertainment is rarely just mindless distraction; it is a mirror to the evolving Indian society. In the post-independence era, films often focused on nation-building and poverty. The 70s introduced the "Angry Young Man," reflecting the socio-political unrest of the time. The 90s brought glossy family dramas and romance, coinciding with economic liberalization and the rise of the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) identity.
