Historical films serve as a bridge that connects us to our cultural past. Cinema has the power to influence culture by shaping our beliefs and values, often blurring the line between fiction and reality. By accurately portraying historical events, characters, ethics, the vision of Human beings, traditional artforms like architect, sculpture, literature, music and dance, philosophy of life, clothing, customs and traditions, war and artillery, dynasty system, and folk culture, these films become a valuable resource for preserving cultural heritage. Historical films leave a positive impression on the audience. How the country has been built with high values, how the country's monarchy has been overturned, how the policies of war have been. What works have been done for the welfare of the people, social system of India, religion, spirituality, arts like music-architecture and the role of artists, our history preserved by literary writers through literature - many such aspects are presented. The history of India takes on a new form and connects the next generation through this artistic medium. In the early historical films, the stories are depicted as they are. At a later stage, love stories take center stage, especially in films depicting the Mughal period. But films that have come out in the last ten-twenty years try to connect the facts of history better. These films are directed with the study of historical events, characters and contemporary situations. Making a historical film remains a huge challenge for a director. Playin historical characters is also a testing
for an actor-actress. Because if history is not revealed properly, an atmosphere of revolt can also be created among the people. It becomes necessary to take care of many aspects so that the tradition of the past is not damaged, the pride of the glorious heritage is preserved and the historical facts are not harmed. Finally, it can be said that these historical films do the artistic work of preserving the history and implanting it in the minds of the future. Historical events and characters leave an indelible impression on human history through the medium of literature and film and continue to introduce India's glorious history to the present and future generations. Literature and film thus reassert the dignity of their history through artistic means. The creators of the time have depicted in literature the glorious stories of India's great heroes who performed gallantness for the country and preserved the glorious heritage of the country through the medium of words, through the medium of theatre. It is said that two thousand shows of the play 'Prithviraj Chauhan' were done at that time. Which reveals the pride these heroes hold in the hearts of the people. Today, the cultural and political history of India is impressively expressed in artistic form through the medium of film. The whole period is brought up on the screen with the pride of the environment, dress and ornaments, customs, language, cultural heritage, the special identity of the Hindu nation and the art medium thus gives a proud salute to the eat heroes of Indian history.
