Discussion of the decision on the Ram temple dispute is all around. The Supreme Court is finally going to give its verdict on this dispute which has been going on for more than two and a half decades. Due to this dispute, there may have been conflicts in the communities of the country, but many spectacular examples of communal harmony have been seen on the silver screen.

What is the story of the film?

Alam Ara, India’s first speaking film released in 1931, was made by Ardeshir Irani, a Parsi director. The film had 50 songs and many Hindu-Muslim actors were present in the film. After this, in the year 1941, V Shantaram’s film was the story of two neighbors, named Pandit and Mirza. The special thing is that Pandit’s character Mazhar Khan while Mirza’s character was played by Gajanan Jagirdar.

A businessman arrives, who wants to build a dam in the villages of Mirza and Pandit. However, the villagers under the leadership of Pandit and Mirza oppose this dam and both give their lives together in this struggle. Apart from this, similar communal harmony was seen in PL Santoshi’s film ‘Hum Ek Hai’ in the year 1946.

In the Yash Chopra film Dhul Ka Phool, released in 1959, a Muslim man sees an illegitimate Hindu child lying in the forest and takes care of him by bringing him home. A song from this film, ‘Tu Hindu Banega Na Musalman Banega, Insaan Ke Aulad Hai, Insaan Banega’ was very popular.

Apart from this, many technicians had worked in Mughal-Azam, the most expensive film of that era, which included all types of Hindu and Muslim people. Manmohan Desai’s 1983 film Coolie was also quite secular in which a Muslim girl is seen tying a rakhi to her Hindu brother. The title of Amitabh Bachchan’s film Amar Akbar Anthony was enough to show the diversity of India. The title track of the film also became very popular.

Films on communal harmony were made in the modern era also

Talking about the modern era, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Mulk can be mentioned in films related to communal harmony and humanity. Where Salman Khan is a devotee of Bajrang Bali in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and sends a girl who has reached India illegally from Pakistan back to her country. At the same time, the story of a innocent family of a Muslim family was proved to be a terrorist in the country.
