Abstract:

This research study develops its basis on Karl Marx’s critique of the capitalist mechanism The objective of this study is to examine the connection between the capitalist project and the environment in the cinematic portrayal of Pushpa: The Rise, a South Indian movie, through a critical lens. The current studyisdescriptive in design following the Textual Analysis Method of research, as the primary data are the movie and its dialogues.It followsthe theoretical framework of Eco-Marxism to evaluate the relationship between capitalism and the environmental crisis in the selected movie. Framework is developed after reviewing related previous literature. It argues that capitalism’s enterprise is fundamentally expansionary and so infringes on the ecological realm, bringing nature to the brutality of oppression and contamination. For eco-Marxists, ecological struggle clashes with the principles that control the capitalist system. The findingsof this study display an optic to see capitalism and the environment as two contrasting forces. Capitalism is causing environmental dangers for human life in Indian society. For this reason, a well-designed projection of resistance should be implied and should be backed by authoritative regularities.
