    well advancements in technology -> use of cellphones, lights society's acceptance of drugs -> the many references and scenes society's interest in controversial movies -> michael moore for examle Emancipation of Women Major improvements in hygiene and health (and hence, beauty!) Widespread sexual liberation Economic egalitarianism - rise of wealth in Western Civilization An increasingly educated population Amazing technological advancements and inventions The liberation (legal, social, economic, et al) of various minorities (people of color, g**s, physically handicapped) General increase in use of drugs Acceptance of and desensitization to violence in polite society Decline of manners, in general Disinegration of the nuclear family Rootlessness of a highly mobile society Alienation of the individual in an industrial society Shift to visual stimulation from verbal or written word (Marilyn Monroe and Rock Hudson from Shakespeare and Tolstoy) 1950’and 60’s saw the themes being very idealistic - fresh from Independence where big dams were built of which heroes were engineers mostly on development backdrop or historical /family dramas preaching high and moral ethics. 1970's brought angry young man to the fore …with socialistic / right demanding hero.And there was a distinction of masala and parallel films which produced many artistes like Smita patil, Shabana azmi, Om puri,and Nasheerudin Shaw 1980’s brought the advent of latest technological advancements in the movie .Also Masala and art films shared the space. 1990"s saw the themes where the cinema had to fight the onslaught of cable tv invasion.So in order to bring the audience to halls,big budget and cinematically excellant films were made. The New Millenium has seen themes of violence and skin show and some sensible (" I,Me Myself attitude " of the generation (Dil Chahta Hai kinds)) also stories based on rampant corruptionin the society and on variety of subjects like AIDS etc. Art /serious /parallel films ..small budgets films are being made for multiplexes. And Shahrukh Khan –Karan Johar formula vooing the new found audience ie NRIs with the global Indian living all across the continents (buying tkts in foreign currencies ) . Now the multiple star cast + masala + comedy seems to stay here …other than these films Mahesh / Pooja Bhatts –low budget+ new faces + skin show themes +some sleaze+ some good music also sell. Still that one film which leaves the audience spell bound and speechless is yet to come? though Lagaan...was good. hope it helps good luck with the project
