Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Futureworks Delivers Quality Remote Colour Grading for Amazon Prime's
    COLOUR GRADING RAHUL PURAV FUTUREWORKS DELIVERS QUALITY REMOTE COLOUR GRADING FOR AMAZON PRIME’S TANDAV WEB SERIES Remote Production is increasingly becoming prevalent in the post- production business. Tandav, an Amazon web series relied on FutureWorks Media to deliver remote production. Rahul Purav, Senior Colourist & Director of Imaging at FutureWorks Media Ltd and the team of artists delivered the colour grading for Tandav using FilmLight’s Baselight grading software and the monitoring was done using Dolby PRM 4200 monitor. BROADCAST AND FILM 15 JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2021 COLOUR GRADING Tandav is an Indian web series on Amazon Prime Video, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Saif Ali Khan portrays the role of a powerful politician in the series that started streaming from 15 January 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. This nine-episode series features Sunil Grover, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Dimple Kapadia, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Dino Morea, and Anup Soni. Rahul Purav, Senior Colourist & Director of Imaging at Future Works Media Ltd shares his insight on the challenges he faced on the colour grading Tandav and how he executed a seamless look for the whole series. “It was a challenging project with a specific teal and orange palette, travelling through elegant palaces down to the rustic dark neighbourhood exposing various environments and situations. Tandav depicts a strong visual language directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and captured by Karol Stadnik. One of the most notable feature of this project was that the entire grading was done remotely...

  • Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the Stereotypes | Saswat.Com | All That's
    Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes | Saswat.com | All That's ... Page 1 of 5 Saswat.com All That's Left Blog :: Saswat Pattanayak Home Articles Links Poetry FAQ About Index Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes Subscribe to Saswat Blog By Saswat Pattanayak Literature Review: Not just the films themselves, the writings on the portrayal of women in popular Hindi films have too, long been dictated by assigning extremes—the woman’s prerogatives to belong to a side, of the evil or the virtuous, the vamp or the Madonna. Most authorship have evolved with historical representation of women in Bollywood to lead a discourse on the idealized women figures. Virdi (2003) justifies most studies as the “necessary first step” for providing a rich and abundant characterization of the idealized women figures: passive, victimized, sacrificial, submissive, glorified, static, one-dimensional, and resilient. And then, in her own work, she goes no further than the “first step”, by limiting to content-analysis of three films to study the women representation. Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for Indian culture in this century. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India to an extent that no preceding art form could ever achieve. And yet, the diversity in roles that women play is not aptly brought to examination either by the post colonial discoursers or the film studies intelligentsia. Gopalan (2000) leads discussion on the avenging women in Indian cinema. She argues that discussions of violence have to consider how films replete with avenging women, gangsters, brutal police force and vigilante closures stage some of the most volatile struggles over representations that shape the public and private fantasies of national, communal, regional and sexual identities.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

The total geographical area of Jammu & Kashmir state is 2, 22, 236 sq. km and its population is 1, 25, 48,926 as per 2011 Census. Agriculture is the mainstay of Jammu and Kashmir state. This sector provides employment to about 70 per cent of the state population. Agriculture contributes about 65 per cent of the state revenue which signi- fies the overdependence of the state on agriculture. The average size of land holding of the state is only 0.67 hectare against 1.33 hectares' land holding size on national basis. Organic farming is picking up pace in the state and there is need of awareness and trainings of farmers for organic farming. J&K has huge potential for organic farming as the large area in the state is already under semi- organic cultivation in hilly districts of the state due to the lack of availability of chemical fertilizers in these areas and the farmers of these areas avoid to apply the chemical fertilizers. Basmati rice of R. S. Pura, rajmash of Bhaderwah, pota- to of Gurez and Machil and red rice of Tangdar, Kupwara, ginger and turmer- ic of Pouni, Reasi are major exportable organic products in the state and have the potential to fetch more returns in the market. Organic farming means holis- tic production systems which refer earth friendly methods for cultivation and food processing.

  • Gangs of Wasseypur As an Active Archive of Popular Cinema
    M A D H U J A M U K H E R J E E Of Recollection, Retelling, and Cinephilia: Reading Gangs of Wasseypur as an Active Archive of Popular Cinema This paper studies Gangs of Wasseypur (Parts 1 and 2, 2012) as a definitive text via which Anurag Kashyap’s style became particularly provocative and pointed. While a range of films (both directed and produced by Kashyap) seemingly bear a certain ‘Kashyap mark’ in the manner in which they tackle subjects of violence and belligerent speech with an unpredictable comic sense, I argue that, more importantly, these films work within a particular visual framework with regard to its mise-en- scène (including the play of light, camera movement, modes of performance), as well as produce recognisable plot structures (involving capricious and realistic events), settings and locations (like the city’s underbelly, police stations, etc.), and so on. Indeed, Kashyap has made a set of films—including Paanch (unreleased), No Smoking (2007) and Ugly (2014)—which deal with similar issues, and explore contemporary cityscapes, especially Mumbai, with fervidness, thereby commenting on urban dystopia.1 Furthermore, these films speak to what has been analysed as the ‘Bombay noir’ mode by Lalitha Gopalan, by means of thoughtful art and set design, engaging (and often hand-held) camera movements and swish-pans, uses of blue or yellow filters, character prototypes, and reflective performances, which generate a world that is engulfed by a deep sense of disquiet and distress. This paper draws attention to such stylistic explorations, especially JOURNAL OF THE MOVING IMAGE 91 to the ways in which it has developed through Kashyap’s recent films.

    English Department Doctoral Program in English and American Literary Studies “The Wire, Seriality, Media and Global Politics” Workshop, 16-17 May 2015 PLH-1-102, Plattenstr. 47 This workshop on television and seriality looks at the portrayal of the African American urban underclass in The Wire and identifies analogies between the show and Bombay cinema, even while investigating the limits of such a cultural cross- mapping. In the final analysis it asks why TV-series like The Wire have become so important in the twenty-first century.

  • Adaptation of Shakespeare in Recent Bollywood Movies Dr
    Adaptation of Shakespeare in Recent Bollywood Movies Dr. Charu C Mishra Assoc. Prof. (English) KG Arts & Science College Raigarh, Chhatisgarh India Abstract Thanks to our drama professor who initiated us to the sheer joy of reading the high flown language and acting in Shakespeare‟s plays that eventually left us spellbound for life. Watching Shakespeare‟s plays in theatre for the yester year English educated Indians has been a hobby. This infatuation with the greatest dramatist has led some Film directors to experiment on the themes of comedies and tragedies. In recent years, director Vishal Bhardwaj holds the credit of adapting themes of his great tragedies to contemporary situation and work wonder through his experimentation. Maqbool is a 2003 Indian crime drama, an adaptation of the play Macbeth. The film had its North American premiere at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival and was screened in the Marché du Film section of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Bhardwaj then moved on to adapt Othello in his 2006 film Omkara which won him commercial as well as critical success and Francis Ford Coppola's attention. Haider is the third installment of Bhardwaj's Shakespearean trilogy. The film is a modern-day adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, set amidst the insurgency-hit Kashmir during conflicts of 1995 and civilian disappearances. The film was screened at the 19th Busan International Film Festival and released worldwide on 2 October 2014 to wide critical acclaim, and garnered attention from the media due to its controversial subject matter. The present paper intends to study how the movies inspired by Shakespeare still appeal 21st century audience to concur his universality in changing times.
