      ab: The paper has two main goals. First, I want to show how important it is to look at discourse through a multimodal lens. Second, this paper experiments with MDA (multimodal discourse analysis) in examining the three films from south Asian countries. The hegemonic images of "home," "family," and "childhood" serve as nodes in building up discursive limits, and they seem to be used to idealise and romanticise the lives of South Asian migrants in both official and personal writings. My research is based on multimodality analysis as theoretical and methodological approaches. In addition, I will discuss the current issue of multimodal studies and the potential of mixed-method approaches that include multimodal analysis. I shall also address the focuses on the dialectical link between the diasporic group and their space of existence to demonstrate, via a multimodal analysis, how space is portrayed verbally and nonverbally in the films. Specifically, the concept of home as a symbol of rootedness and reintegration is examined in connection to several factors, including gender, age, and sociocultural identity. There are several angles from which to investigate the modality of literature. In this paper, I'll talk about how the material objects we interact with shape our comprehension of stories and the experiences communicated in novels and adapted films, as well as how the integration of the basic media types of speech, text, and images varies according to the conventions of different qualified media types. Lastly, this article summarises studies that aim to define what makes digital multimodal texts effective through migration and new media.
