Why Bollywood’s Representation of Dogs Matters
The growing presence of dogs in Bollywood films reflects the evolving perception of pets in Indian households. They are no longer just background artists, they are characters with emotions, relationships, and stories of their own. This shift encourages audiences to see dogs as sentimental beings who form deep connections with their humans.
From loyalty to unconditional love, Bollywood is showcasing what pet parents have always known dogs are family. And as more movies embrace this narrative, it further strengthens the bond between humans and their four-legged companions. Also making non-pet parents fall in love with these beautiful creatures , and encouraging them to become pet parents giving home to the pets.
