Gujarati
films are mostly woven by human or social emotions. These include family
relations, the desires of the human mind, and the contents of social
life. In the early years of Gujarati cinema, a large number of films based
on mythological subjects and legends were produced. Movies were also made
on popular Gujarat saints and "Sati" like Narsih mheta Mehta
Gangashati movies were made with a view to rural viewers with knowledge of such
topics. Early movie producers also produced on the topic of social reform. Based
on family life and lajnajivana movies such gunasundari and Kariyavar can be considered
significant. Historical, social, and religious topics were prominent in
the decades of 1 and 2. Many Gujarati movies like Kashi's Son Created from a Gujarati novel. In the
sixties, the subjects of saint and sati were again prominent. Hindi cinema
has had an impact on Gujarati cinema in the 8th and 9th and films have been
made on exciting topics. At the beginning of the sixties, the films were
mainly aimed at rural audiences and became a local story and genre. After
that, Gujarati cinema was resurrected and urban cultures were added to
it. In recent times, has been building more presents movies for

The scripts and stories of the Gujarati films include
relationship and family oriented subjects, as well as human aspirations and
Indian family culture. There were a large number of films based on mythological
narratives and folklore produced in the early years of Gujarati cinema.
During the silent film era, many individuals in the industry
Gujarati. The language-associated industry dates back to 1932, when the first
Gujarati talkie, Narsih mheta, was
released. Until the Independences of India in 1947, only twelve
Gujarati films were produced. There was a spurt in film production in the 1940s
focused on saint, sor dacoit stories
as well as mythology and folktales. In the 1950s–1960s, the trend
continued with the addition of films on literary works. In the 1970s,
the government of Gujarat announced a tax exemption and
subsidies which resulted in an increase in the number of films, but the quality
declined.
After flourishing
through the 1960s–1980s, the industry saw a decline through 2000 when the
number of new films dropped below twenty. The Gujarat state government
announced a tax exemption again in 2005 which lasted until 2017. The industry
has been partially revived in the 2010s due first to rural demand, and later to
an influx of new technology and urban subjects in films. The state government
announced a policy of incentives in 2016.
Silent Films in Gujarat:
Way before the films became a
crucial part of the media industry, dominating the screens were the silent
films. In Gujarati silent films, people were seen being closely related to the
culture and social life of the people there which made it immensely popular
among the masses. Between the duration of 1913 and 1931 there were around 20
top rated media companies producing such films in Gujarati and mostly
functioning from Bombay.
Early Talkies in Gujarat:
The first short Gujarati sound film
called Chavchav No Murabbo was brought in to screen for public viewing on 4th February 1931 in Bombay. It featured the very
first sound in any Indian film called mane Mankad Karde. It is commendable that
even before the release of a full length Gujarati sound film, 2 short sound
films were already released with the Hindi film industry. However the landmark
movie which made its appearance in the Gujarati cinema industry was Narsinh
Mehta in the year 1932 which was directed by Nanubhai Vakil. The movie
showcased the life of saint Narsinh Mehta.
After independence Movies in
Gujarat:
There was a huge surge of
production in Gujarati movies post the independence in the year 1947. In 1948
alone 26 Gujarati films were produced and released. The movies released in
between the years 1946 and 1952, 74 different movies in Gujarat were produced
and admired which were related to stories about dacoits, saints or sati. All
these movies were made for the masses and the rural audience who are very much
familiar with these subjects. Numerous movies which are made were relatable
with the life and problems observed by the people residing this region and
especially the folklores and myths.
Decline and Revival of Gujarati
Cinema:
In the
early 2000s less than 20 films have been produced and released however in 2005
a number of tax exemptions were announced by the government of Gujarat for
entertainment. 5 lakh rupees of subsidy was also announced by the government
for various Gujarati films. This was the revival point of Gujarati cinema in
general. These exemptions resulted in a sudden surge of Gujarati movie
production and release. Eventually with the onset of new technology and styles
in the cinematic universe the production value of the movies also became better
as its demand became higher and higher. In the golden globe awards of 2018
Gujarati film festival made its debut which was a landmark move in this field
which now continues to grow.
