Abstract
Popular culture plays an important role in promoting socio-cultural harmony. It allows heterogeneous sections of people to identify collectively by serving as an inclusionary role in society as it unites the masses on ideals of acceptable forms of behaviour. Change that is promoted by the people through popular culture is determined by the interactions between people in their everyday activities like dressing style, use of slang, greeting rituals and foods. Socio-cultural dynamics are influenced to a large extent by means of popular culture. By using the medium of movies, we can achieve success in bridging the gaps in societies
