Ecocriticism, Environmental Awareness, Indian Cinema, Nature, Sustainability, Ecological Consciousness, Fiction movies
Ecocriticism has developed as one of the most noteworthy approaches in contemporary literary and cultural studies. It observes the relationship between human beings and the natural environment and pursues to com-prehend how cultural texts represent ecological concerns. The growing environmental crises such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and water scarcity are threatening the planet.Movies have become an actual medium for creating environmental awareness among the masses. Unlike literature, which needs sustained reading, films connect ideas through visual and aural elements which can reach audiences promptly and ef-fectively. Indian fiction films have progressively expressed ecological issues and environmental awareness through appealing narratives and realistic portrayals of human collaboration with nature. This paper discovers environmental consciousness in select Indian fiction films from an ecocriticalviewpoint. It also deliberates how movies function as a powerful tool for environmental learning and inspects the representation of eco-logical apprehensions in selected Indian films. The study claims that cinema not only reproduces environ-mental realities but also inspires viewers to adopt environmentally responsible approaches. The paper high-lights the importance of environmental sustainability and ecological balance in contemporary society with the help of indian environmental movies.
