- Summary:
- Founder/Director of the National Film Archive of India, P K Nair, discusses early Hindi cinema as being perceived by audiences as a form of religious worship because the silent films were often screened in tents near a temple. He discusses why the theme of mythology became less popular as Indian films began to tackle modern storylines, but highlights the subtle influence of mythological characters on the way the hero and heroine are depicted.
