| Abstract: | Political films in India have long been a powerful medium for shaping public opinion, particularly during general elections. These films often address key social issues such as corruption, governance, and voter rights, aligning with the concerns of the electorate. Through biopics, dramatized portrayals, and issue-based narratives, political films either glorify or criticize leaders and political parties, influencing voter perception and electoral behaviour. The strategic timing of film releases around election cycles further amplifies their impact. As seen in global and Indian contexts, political films motivate voters by engaging with real-world issues, thereby playing a subtle but significant role in shaping election outcomes. |
