Muslim social

Muslim social

The Muslim social is a genre of film in Hindi cinema that portrays and critiques Islamic culture in India. Muslim socials are divided into two categories: "classic Muslim socials" that explore nawabi culture and focus on upper class or elite Muslim families, and "new wave Muslim socials" that portray middle class Muslim families who experience economic problems, discrimination and communal violence.[1] Muslim socials often include ghazals and qawwalis, musical forms commonly associated with Islamic culture.[2]

The earliest Muslim socials were made in the 1930s after the advent of sound and continued to be popular until the 1980s. The genre's popularity was partly due to the financial success of Mehboob Khan's Najma which became the blueprint for Muslim socials that followed.[3]
