The article’s discussion is relevant in today’s globalized world because cultural influence is no longer limited to cinema theatres. Streaming platforms, television, social media, and digital entertainment allow stories to cross national boundaries and reach diverse audiences.

The article also connects Hollywood’s influence with Bollywood and India’s use of cinema as soft power. However, it questions whether Bollywood should simply imitate Hollywood’s approach. Instead, it suggests that Indian cinema can challenge dominant narratives, represent marginalized communities, and create alternative perspectives.
