Despite film industry promises to self-police tobacco promotion on screen, tobacco brands popped up in more than 40 percent of Indian films released since 2004. That is almost triple the 15 percent incidence observed before the enforcement of a comprehensive ban on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. As per the research study by the Chandigarh based NGO, Burning Brain Society and supported by WHO, 89 percent of the films released and analyzed after the tobacco advertising ban included generic or branded tobacco imagery. Complete study on "Tobacco in Movies and Impact on Youth" is available at http://www.burningbrain.org/tobaccoinmovies

"The Last Song" is the reflection of false glamorization of tobacco as reflected in its manifestation as CANCER and as felt by yet another victim of tobacco, Mr. Babu Lal. As a young adult, Babu Lal saw all his friends and companions smoking and thought it to be a good thing. He fell in for tobacco and consumed "Beedi's" (Indian Local Cigarette) for 20 years. He was proud of his voice but his tobacco addiction made him a victim of CANCER. His voice box is to be removed (At the time of recording of this clip). When he realized that this might be his last day with voice, he sings his last song. In the background is a popular song of a Hindi movie (Bidi Jaliye Lehâ¦. Translation means ⦠Light up a cigarette and enjoyâ¦â¦â¦..) which in a way shows (by drawing contrast) that how tobacco smoking is glamorized through movies, whereas actually sin reality tobacco is creating havoc. The shots have been clicked on an amateurist non-professional camera (by a young doctor) and have been transformed into an awareness movie by Burning Brain Society and Hemant Goswami.
