People must struggle their right and obligation too. The struggling, sacrificing, and affording are one of requisites for acquiring their appreciations, dreams, and aims. The appreciation is the last destination that is brought into reality by the people. So everyone needs appreciation in their life. The appreciation is like a dream, goal or destination. It is a soul in proving something done by people. Appreciation can give the spirit and energy for someone in reaching their aim in their life. Many people that have acquired appreciation, they would be proud and satisfy both for themselves and another people in surrounding. However, sometimes the people have wrong ways to prove their appreciations. Appreciation need includes self actualization of human needs. Self actualization is one fundamental need in humanistic psychological theory. This need is part of hierarchy need in humanistic psychological theory. Humanistic psychology views humans as active creature with freedom. Abraham Maslow had explained the humanistic analysis in the psychological theory. The theory of Maslow is the hierarchy of needs that are the 1 2 psychological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs and esteem needs. The four points above is the deficient needs or the basic needs. Maslow next had explained the growth needs as a motivation of human.

Assistant Professor of South, East Asia and Oceania Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran (Corresponding author) ([email protected]) 2. Assistant Professor of South, East Asia and Oceania Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ([email protected]) 3. M. A. in Indian Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ([email protected]) (Received: Jan. 2, 2019 Revised: Feb. 28, 2019 Accepted: Ma r. 28, 2019) Abstract This study investigates the representations of Hindu-Muslim relationship in Bollywood movies from 2008 to 2018. It is assumed that after 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, which are known as 26/11, conflicts between Hindus and Muslims have escalated. Since Indian people are extreme fans of movies, especially Bollywood movies, in this regard, it is expected that media could play a significant role in increasing or alleviating the conflicts by influencing people’s attitudes and opinions. This research seeks to examine the extent and modality of the representation of Hindu-Muslim relationships in Bollywood after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The study was conducted through a content analysis of 11 Bollywood movies, which were selected from 70 Muslim-characters-based movies. Favorable, unfavorable, neutral and unclear were the four factors through which the movies’ contents were analyzed. The overall analysis of these factors indicate that 66.17% of the scenes were favorable, 14.70% were unfavorable, 2.94% were neutral, and 16.17% presented unclear images of Hindu-Muslim relationship in Bollywood movies.

It is a critical-historical account of the transitional era, roughly from 1998 to 2018, and examines practices and decisions taken ‘on the ground’ by film sound recordists, editors, designers and mixers. My work explores the histories and genealogies of the transition by analysing the individual, as well as collective, aesthetic concerns of film workers migrating from the celluloid to the digital age. My inquiry aimed to explore linkages between the digital turn and shifts in production practices, notably sound recording, sound design and sound mixing. The study probes the various ways in which these shifts shaped the aesthetics, styles, genre conventions, and norms of image-sound relationships in Indian cinema in comparison with similar practices from Euro-American film industries.
