Abstract

This review provides an in-depth exploration of the psychological impact of violent films and television shows on Indian audiences, particularly focusing on aggression, emotional desensitization, anxiety, fear, and the development of moral ambiguity. It reviews the existing literature that examines how violent media influences behavior and mental health in children, adolescents, and young adults. The study also contextualizes the findings within the unique cultural and societal framework of India, where media consumption is a central aspect of daily life. Finally, it discusses various mitigation strategies, including parental controls, media regulation, and the need for media literacy to address the negative psychological effects of violent content
