Changing the Trend and Commercialization in Bangladeshi Movie Song

Today in this modern era, we have already left our classical views, lifestyle and everything to the new modern dimension of the world and we are very much mixed with this new version lifestyle, views and everything. This changes influence our every parts and notion of our life and the world furnished her with this new clothe of modern world. It affects are more serious in the industrial world where now main motive is no more for the serving consumer but to making profits, serving consumer is now secondary goal in the industrial hypothesis. Media and the cultural institutions like Movie, drama, music etc also being now industrialized in its modern shape and main motif is to make money and to produce commercial products to be sold at a high price not to have good impact in the society nor revealing the truth or presenting a culture just to entertain the consumers or make a popular illusion in the mind of the consumer.

In Bangladesh, modern aspects of the world already being installed on a great note and not only the urban area but also in many villages around the country are already being influenced by this modernization or we could say this commercialization of the world. This commercial influence has been affecting our every portion of the life, trade & commerce etc. Our cultural norms and tradition has radically changed in the very recent times and people now converting themselves from classical Bangladeshi tradition to mixed new modern tradition of the modern world and this tradition mostly are hired or cut paste from the western world and mostly from our neighboring country India not been created by our countrymen. This commercialization has great impact on our cultural institution like film, theatre, drama, advertisement, music and others.

In the bangle movie of recent time which are mostly commercialized are not only changed its story depiction but also the visualization, music, casting system, dialogue and other aspects of movie though there are also some non-commercial movies also being made with the present and classical culture of our country but most are the commercial movies and this commercial movies have its own commercial songs the most new effective, popular and profitable edition is item songs which are added following our neighboring country, India. The lyrics, sound effects, visualizations, locations, costume, cast all and everything has been changed with the notion to make it as source of great entertainment to produce more and more money. To make an original view of this changing of classical to commercial music trend, we have to compare classical music to commercial music and for this here discussing about the changes of lyrics, visualization, costume and location in commercial music to classical.
