From bandhej to leheriya, Rajasthani textiles highlight themselves in terms of intricate designs and vibrant colors. Movies like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo depicted a glimpse of this magnificence when 

Sonam Kapoor wore a pink leheriya saree that blended perfectly into the royal tradition with modern aesthetics. In the case of PK, many beautiful scenes of authentic: utilization of Angrakhas,

and colourful pagris are presented. This would make these fabrics the central part of the characters and story.
The production houses in Shuddh Desi Romance and Paheli also designed costumes in the same fabrics to display beauty, giving a glimpse into the bright, richly ornamented grandeur of Rajasthani culture.
 
Setting Trends through Bollywood Fashion
The magic of Bollywood lies in making the old-fashioned traditional wear a trendy fashion statement. Alia Bhatt’s bandhej suit and pink leheriya dupatta make these fabrics mainstream once again for the new generation. 

Glamour on-screen inspires off-screen trends and makes designers want to use these traditional textiles in everyday modern wardrobes, something their fans would approve of.
This was done away with by the cinemas through Tanhaji and Ram Leela, which brought back traditional men’s wear through the sleek suit toppers of Ajay Devgn and intricately designed dhotis of Ranveer Singh, for cosier, more personal celebrations.

 A Boost for Local Artisans
 
Featured with Rajasthani fabrics, films provide a much-needed fillip to the local craftspeople. Not only does their work get promoted through films but the demand created through these films sustains and revives them. Conclusion Bollywood has played an important role in reviving the traditional Rajasthani fabrics by marrying heritage with contemporary appeal. From glamorous sarees to intricately designed sherwanis, these very textiles have come to represent the cultural pride of India and drive the finest global audience to appreciate their timelessness.
