Abstract : This study examines the portrayal of the conflict between tradition and modernity in Indian cinema, emphasizing its significant role in both reflecting and shaping evolving cultural values within Indian society. Drawing upon an extensive review of existing scholarship and employing interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks, including cultural studies, postcolonial theory, gender studies, and globalization theory, the research critically analyzes selected films across different historical periods. The objective is to explore how cinematic narratives negotiate tensions surrounding identity formation, family structures, generational shifts, gender roles, class mobility, nationalism, and social progress in a rapidly transforming socio-economic landscape.

Keywords : Indian cinema, tradition and modernity, cultural identity, globalization, gender representation, family structures, neoliberalism, diaspora, hybridity, nationalism, social change, Bollywood, transnational cinema, postcolonial theory, cultural transformation.
