It is majorly reviewed that Indian films and presented content has impacts on multiple aspects of its viewers. Masses watches films and follow as it was presented physically and psychologically, also consciously and unconsciously. People not only change their attitudes but behaves accordingly. The film industry is so big, and due to its entertainment factor, every age group not only watches but also adopt the ways of living, eating, behaving, and acting in their lives.

Literature Review
The basic principle of research is to explore the Impact of Heroism and Demonism of Indian movies and the National Identity Crisis among Youth. "Bollywood industry will play for those brains for Pakistani immature through their general public progression. Bollywood movies get Verwoerd praise because our immature is thick, as warm as Bollywood. Likewise, as we continue on to perceive that the purpose for the Notoriety of the Bollywood business secured close by Pakistan will be those breakdown for Lollywood industry.” Jessop (2000) and Saeed (2007)reveal insight into afterward change in the public's opinion and change in Indian society. popular media of India established stereotypes of the Indian Muslim community as "Indian Muslims". Basically, it is unthinkable to include all the supporters of Islam into one huge category residing in India. It will be practically unthinkable with a set every last one of supporters from claiming Islam residing clinched alongside India under you quit offering on that one colossal class. They are culturally, demographically, professionally, economically, and politically as disparate as the respite of the Hindus and the result that Indians are not enduring the Muslims in their Country because in India, there is a large number of Muslim minorities who have lived in Indian since many years. As they look at Muslims that they are terrorists, traitors, militants, etc., in this, they also include women and children. In many movies, Muslims are appeared as terrible individuals who are not devoted to their homeland and promote violence in areas of India. Due to such movies, society has cornered Muslims, and they brought them in the position of defending themselves. Indian films have a big hold on the entertainment industry masses likes and follow the films, content, and actors. Films like Bahubali, which a south Indian film is, have a lot of fake scenes, but it scored high viewing records as masses not only watched but also adopted the presented behaviors and attitudes.
Batool (2004), Zainab (2005), Juni (2014), and According to Tariq (2011) that Indian movies promote Pakistan Islam and Muslims in a negative way as Pakistan is a terrorist, militant & confrontational to the neighboring countries. Pakistan is an Islamic country and has some limitations, but the Indian movies destroy all limitations and change the beliefs of our youth about their religion. The bang of the Bollywood movies on cultural transformation among Pakistani youth prefer to watch Indian movies to gratify their entertainment needs than Hollywood and Lollywood movies, and they follow the Mannerism and life style shown in movies having a considerable effect on their cultural patterns and Indian movies also influence the language, dresses, lifestyle, festivals, music, food habits, and drinking of the native cultural trends. Pakistan and India haven't been on good terms since their creation. Pakistani people now stand on the unacceptable was, they are highly influenced by the Indian culture as they adopt their lifestyle, prefer to watch Indian channels shows and films. This result shows that Pakistan minimizes its identity. People still hate feeling in their hearts for India as we observe in the India Pak match. But in spite of this, we prefer to adopt Indian culture happily. We need to take into account these facts and promote the culture of our homeland, Pakistan. In reality, they presented culture is actually in practice which is Indian culture, because the masses watch and practice in their ceremonials and daily life.
Hypothesis

H2: More the youth watch nationalist and motivated Bollywood movies then, the more they are influenced by Indian Language and Dresses.
H3: There is significant Co Relation between the extent of watching Indian movies and the adoption of Indian cultural identities.
