Abstract	Russian literature holds a profound and enduring influence over Indian cinema, shaping the narrative landscape and providing rich source material for filmmakers. This influence can be traced back to the early 20th century when Russian literature began to make its presence felt in India. Although these books reflected a limited awareness of Indian cinema and its possible role in the global media from the perspectives of cross-cultural analysis and innovations in filmmaking processes, they served as a gateway to introduce Indian filmmakers to the vast and diverse world of Russian literature. As Indian filmmakers delved deeper into this literary treasure trove, they realized the immense potential that Russian literature held in terms of storytelling, themes, and character development. Source: Brian Larkin's study of Indian cinema and its Nigerian audiences allows us to see that the fate of Korean popular culture in India has parallels with the influence of Russian literature in Indian cinema. Russian literature has had a profound impact on Indian cinema, serving as a source of inspiration for storytelling, themes, and character development. Indian cinema has wholeheartedly embraced Russian literature, incorporating its themes, characters, and narratives into the fabric of Indian films. The enduring influence of Russian literature in Indian cinema can be seen in the seamless integration of its themes, characters, and narratives into the fabric of Indian films across various genres and languages. From romantic dramas to epic historical sagas, Russian literature has provided Indian filmmakers with a wealth of material to adapt and reimagine on the big screen. Moreover, the influence of Russian literature extends beyond just the adaptation of specific works. It has permeated the storytelling techniques and aesthetic sensibilities of Indian filmmakers, shaping their approach to narrative construction and visual presentation. Russian literature has not only served as a source of inspiration for Indian filmmakers, but it has also played a significant role in shaping the way Indian cinema is perceived and appreciated globally.
