World Animal Welfare Day is celebrated around the globe on 4 October to raise awareness for the rights of animals. Indian movies are so culturally evolved that you will find you a reference for every topic. Our movies have been telling stories of animals and birds from time immemorial. They exist in our fables, our mythology and our movies. We have stories about snakes/ Nagin, Nagina, Sheshnaag, stories about birds, about dogs/ Teri Meharbaniyaan, Pariwar, Hum Aaap Ke Hain Kaun, about elephants/ Haathi Mere Saathi that became a blockbuster because the elephant God is revered in our country, about wild animals both lion and tiger/ Mr Natwarlal, Life of Pi.
