Hindi movies behind tipsy teens?

A recent study by a leading health organization claims that Hindi films are pushing teens to try drinking at an early age. We check it out
They say Bollywood is a magical world, whose reigning stars leave many spellbound. But a recent study presented at World Congress of Cardiology in Dubai by a leading health organization tells a completely different story. The study claims that Bollywood is directly influencing the youth in India to take to alcohol at an early age and those who are exposed to movies are three times, 2.75 to be precise, more likely to try drinking. Even if other factors like demographic variables, characteristics of individuals, parenting and social influences were to be considered, those who watch films on a regular basis are 1.49 times more likely to try drinking.
Though it is difficult to determine the real nature of the study, it'd be unfair to consider an outside agency (read films) responsible for rise in drinking habits. Author and social commentator Santosh Desai says, "There could be many other reasons that influence people." In urban India teens are becoming more independent and B-Town influence can't be the only reason.
Actor Arunoday Singh poses a sixer, "What about Hollywood movies? We are still cautious about what is shown in our movies. And when the youth is exposed to all kinds of foreign language films, which are heavily loaded with such scenes, how can Bollywood alone be blamed? Drinking is an age old phenomenon." Agrees director Sajid Khan. "I don't think these kind of studies are true. The audience watches movies just for entertainment, gone are the days when people used to get influenced. Even in smaller towns people are smarter than what we think."
The flip side of the debate can also be given a thought. There is a certain shift in the way the consumption of alcohol is shown in the films. Earlier it was mainly associated with a loser in life. But today it is seen as being cool. Films like Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Rockstar, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara et al had the protagonists bonding over a drink. Sociologist Kiran Desai says, "The root cause of teens drinking early is because of the changing lifestyle coupled with 'spend it hard' psychology." Santosh adds, "Now drinking is like having a fun time. This can upto some extent legitimize the study, but it doesn't work simplistically."
May be we should blame it on changing times?
