Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

Manufacturing Muslim Image Through Bollywood Cinema
Muslim South Asia Conference 28 Oct, 2013 Shiraz Sheikh Green on Silver: Manufacturing Muslim Image through Bollywood Cinema ABSTRACT: During the last decade, a series of Bollywood movies were produced which caricatured the Muslim image in a certain way. The biased portrayal grew in time when numbers of Muslim youths were framed and fabricated with false terror charges. The accumulated angst against the partisan communal profiling of Muslims outburst was protest against the movie Vishwaroopam. This has regenerated media debate about the artistic freedom and the freedom of expression. In this context, the paper focuses to analyse the portrayal of Muslims in Bollywood Cinema since 9/11. It seeks to examine the pattern of portrayal that negatively reinforces the bias against the community and also how with positive portrayal a balance is sought. For this purpose two clusters of movies are selected. One set of films produces loaded narrative that reinforces notion that ‘evil community’ is required to be contained whereas the second set producing a counter narrative. On theoretical plane the paper seeks to theorsie the prevailing phenomenon by applying two general theories. The first theory is of profitability – that is to exploit a burning issue which is easily sellable. Second, an assumption that there is politics entrenched with ideology that helped manufacture Muslim image as an enemy within to contain the bellicose threat of spread of Islam. Finally the paper tries to analyse the debates generating within the educated Muslim youths. Key Words: Bollywood Cinema, Muslim Image, Hindutava, Hindu Nationalism, Muslim Youth, Freedom of Expression, Social Media. Introduction In February of 2013 movie Vishwaroopam was in news due to protest against it by Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam and Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath.

Abstract: Superstar as a term is synonymous with Bollywood. The glamorous world of Bollywood has witnessed the rise of several stars, making a mark with their talent, charm and charisma. While some manage to swoon the audience over their looks, there are some who sweep them off their feet and are tagged as the Superstars of Bollywood! From Dilip Kumar to Shah Rukh Khan, B-town has many names in this list of superstars. But lately, we only have stars. The culture of superstar has become redundant. Reason? May be the advent of social media. With easy accessibility and direct contact with a star over social media has brought down the curiosity that once existed around the film stars. The kind of stardom that has been enjoyed by the likes of Rajesh Khanna, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, is missing with the actors of the newer generation.
