There’s general consensus that despite bengali cinema’s glorious past, bengali cinema
viewership has ebbed over the years, gradually losing its popular resonance and contemporary relevance. most of the school students are currently having extremely low level bengali skills like poor comprehension, limited vocabulary, slow reading, grammatical
mistakes and lack of fluency in conversational skills. watching bengali movies can be
helpful for developing all these skills. movies use extensively cultural aspects.These are
also pre-requisite to increase proficiency in language skills.
Studies have also reported some advantages to the integration of movies into bengali language learning. movies can capture the students attention in the target language visual images, stimulate students perceptions directly. significant improvement of listening and speaking skills, along with vocabulary can be achieved watching the movies. also, the concept of joyful learning could be highly applicable through using movies as a learning material. in future movies could be played in the classroom as interactive teaching aid

On the occasion of the official poster release of this initiative, Mr. Namit Bajoria,managing director, kutchina home makers pvt. ltd. said, “I don’t know why, i’ve a strong connect with bengali movies. iskule bioscope is an extremely innovative initiative to bring back the lost treasures of Bengali culture, heritage and what better to pass it on to our progeny in the form of movies. today’s kids are always short of time with various activities,
and i’ve seen parents always in most cases conversing with their kids in english to create a
convention of mastering a global language that’ll help in future in pursuing a career. while,
all that’s true, we cannot neglect our roots; we should equally stay connected to our
mother language and learn it as a passion. hence, we decided to do something that’ll help
today’s kids to stay connected to their roots.”

Bajoria has said. The mission of this event is indeed to create the future audience of
bengali films and our next generations should see to get up close with our culture and
