35mm is quickly going the way of the dinosaur. Everything 35mm can do, digital can probably do better (or, just as well) and more importantly ... more conveniently.
* 35mm film can get dusty and scratched, ruining your images.
* 35mm film is sensitive to temperature ... too hot or too cold can ruin your images.
* It's easy to accidently expose your film to the light, ruining all of your images.
* You have to buy rolls of film!
* You have to pay someone to develop your film, or do it yourself (pain!).
For most "amateur" or "snapshot" photographers, there's virtually no disadvantage. For anything more serious, you start to see shortcomings, but there are shortcomings in a lot of things:
1. Lag time: the time it takes from when you press the shutter release until the shutter actually opens and closes to capture the image. In the good old days, if you pressed the shutter down all the way, you took the picture. With digital cameras there can be a delay, and that could cause you to miss the moment that you wanted to capture.
2. Enlargements: because the ability to enlarge is dependent to a fair extent on the resolution power of the camera, you need significantly higher resolution for super large prints or really tight crops. In the good old days of film, film "grain" was such that just about any film under 400 ASA (almost like ISO) you could get pictures sharp as tacks up to 2x3 feet with no problem, even if you had to do some cropping. In digital Photography, you need upwards of 18 mp to assure a sharp print with no crop and even higher with any significant crops, and those cameras are 10x the cost of a film camera. Eventually the mps will go up and the cost will go down, but it's happening slower than one might like.
3. Delicacy: Especially with DSLRs that allow you to change lenses, sensors are susceptible to dust, and dust will affect your image (and require you to process any defects out). And we're talking a single speck of dust. Keeping a film camera clear of dust is less difficult or critical (although it can happen of course).
4. Electronics generally: there are non-digital cameras around that are 50 years old and are just as good as the day they were new, or can be adjusted to be darn close. Digital cameras have a "click life", meaning their components may have a significantly shorter usable life.
1- not easly to carry anywhere all the time.
2- film camera needs electricity when we are going to use it. i mean no battery backup facility.
3- internal memory also not there. we have to insert the blank the cassests.
4- we have also carry different types of leans with the camera.
The disadvantages of 35mm are the cost of film, cost of processing and the time it takes to get your pictures back.
The advantages? First is simple: film pictures look better than digital pictures, and you can enlarge them more. If you had a 2-megapixel camera when you took your favorite picture, that picture can't get any larger than 2 megapixels without the quality taking a nose dive. The other is more important: you know how you can delete a shot you don't like from your camera? Well...you can also delete a shot you DO like, and once it's gone it's never coming back. Digital storage like CD-ROM and DVD-ROM can go bad. Hard disks can crash. Also, file formats become outdated--in the time I've been using computers there have been many file formats that because superseded and now I can't even open the files. You can lose digital files just so easily, and with them your memories are gone forever. You have to work at it to lose a film image.

Cellulose Film (Film role) is going to be out of function because of popularisation of digital photography which is extreme cheaper and less time taking to process and reproduce than traditional photography. But there is an advatage of 35mm format - It consumes less memory bytes.
