Abstract
Films are the medium of choice since many years for communication of the massages. The impact of films marked on the mind and thoughts of the viewers. In the India the traditional education tolls includes books, black boards, reading, writing, reciting activities. But the scenario is shifting towards the technology intervention in education.
