I have noticed that the celebrations at various places in the country are taking leaves out of the celebration books of other regions. For example, I find it interesting that Garba, Dandia etc, which are mainly Gujarati forms of celebration are being celebrated in other parts of the country too. And the organisers their attract visitors by roping in small time TV and movie actors who supposedly teach them these dance forms.

Earlier today, in another post I had mulled over the decline of films with mythological themes. Extending that concern further, I would also include the theme of Muslim religious and social films, which seem to be on the decline. Once again, in the 90s and later, I cannot really recall any significant film based on Islamic social and religious values.
