Abstract
Media play a vital role in propagating individual ideologies. Media designate the ideologies on the consent of ruling party. This point can be cleared from the following reference that “in America during Vietnam war media plays a vital role and they spread the news related to war according to the consent of state polices the war is near to end and peace is at on hand (Kissinger’s report)” from this we come to know that media reshapes the individual ideologies, same is the case with Indian media, as they create false ideologies related to Muslims as well as Pakistanis. Taking analysis of Indian movies like Ek Tha Tiger, Raees and Tere Bin Laden we come to conclusion that India has created a planned digital war against Pakistan. The present research is conducted to observe the media as a tool of digital warfare in case of Indian movies. Content analysis research was used from a sample of 3 Bollywood movies.
