The movie, which sees Singh play an 18th cen- tury Maratha warrior, picked up nine other technical awards at the International Indian Film Academy awards, including for chore- ography and best cinematography. “I am quite overwhelmed by all of this,” the movie’s director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, said as he picked up his prize at the International Film Academy awards being held this year in Spain for the first time. “I don’t want to thank anyone for this film. I think thank you is just not enough for this film,” he added to applause from the 5,000- strong crowd gathered at Madrid’s IFEMA congress centre for the event. “Bajirao Mastani” made around 3.5 billion rupees ($52 million) according to industry esti- mates, and it has already picked up a num- ber of Indian film awards this year. Singh in turn said he learned “how to be singleminded and uncompromising in the pursuit of excellence” by working with Bhansali on the film. “I hope we will contin- ue to make magic together,” the 30-year- old actor, who impressed audiences in his 2010 debut as a street-smart Delhi wed- ding planner in the romantic comedy “Band Baaja Baaraat”. The best picture award went to “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” staring Salman Khan, whose character embarks on a journey to reunite a mute six-year-old Pakistani girl stuck in India with her parents in Pakistan. The movie was the biggest-grossing Bollywood film of 2015, earning around 6.26 billion rupees.

  • 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.

  • An Outline, Indian Film Theory Auteur Theory: the Term 'Auteu
    Film Theory: key concepts- evolution, major features, theorists- an outline, Indian film theory Auteur Theory: politique des The term ‘auteur’ is the French term for author and became a part of the film studies auteurs Cahiers du cinema register in the 1950’s after the debate on the “polemic about authors” or the , when the French film critics associated with the film magazine adopted the term to recognize the director of the film as its author. It is he who is responsible for the aesthetic quality of the film. The critics came to be known as the Cahiers critics and included critics like François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, who argued that since the director controlled all the aspects of film making and editing, it is only he who can employ them effectively to produce the desired aesthetic effect. The final artistic result is not the script writer’s but the director’s visualization has already been discussed in the section on film as art. This theory gave rise to the technique of recognition of peculiarities in the cinematographic techniques of a particular author, which eventually became his signature style- visible in his movies even if they differed in genre and themes. The concept of the auteur initially gave the critics the liberty to attribute the aesthetic quality of a film to the director, a proponent of this theory Andrew Harris went as far as to create a ranking system of the directors. However, the voices of dissent against this theory soon began in the 1960’s and 1970’s when the waves of structuralism, Marxism and psychoanalysis began influencing the film discourse.
