The main limitation of the films is its fixed pace. They move at a fixed pace, some viewers are likely to fall behind. (If they are unable to keep pace with the pace of the film). Since films are mostly the dramatized presentation, there are chances of sophisticated treatment or exaggerated version of a situation or issue. For example, if an adolescent has seen a film with generation gap theme, it is likely that he will take this melodrama in a literary sense and feel that he also has to face many problems due to generation gap in his relationship with his parents or teachers.
It is very difficult to define the limits of what is "controversial" in films. For example, the film "Aandhi" was banned during the emergency period in India. It was labelled as controversial film. When released, people did not find anything controversial or objectionable in the film.
The commercial films are made with the audience's preference in mind, but there is hardly any feedback mechanism.
The production of film or a replication of a film are costly, and require huge amount of finances. It requires highly sophisticated equipment for production as well as projection.
Film production also requires trained personnel such as Director, Photographer, Sound effects expert, Musician, Editor, etc. Once the film production is complete, it is very expensive to make any changes in the film.
Each film requires individual distribution network, which requires investment of large amount of money and time.
