  • EXIGENCY of INDIAN CINEMA in NIGERIA Kaveri Devi MISHRA
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Series on Philosophy, Psychology, Theology and Journalism 80 Volume 9, Number 1–2/2017 ISSN 2067 – 113x A LOVE STORY OF FANTASY AND FASCINATION: EXIGENCY OF INDIAN CINEMA IN NIGERIA Kaveri Devi MISHRA Abstract. The prevalence of Indian cinema in Nigeria has been very interesting since early 1950s. The first Indian movie introduced in Nigeria was “Mother India”, which was a blockbuster across Asia, Africa, central Asia and India. It became one of the most popular films among the Nigerians. Majority of the people were able to relate this movie along story line. It was largely appreciated and well received across all age groups. There has been a lot of similarity of attitudes within Indian and Nigerian who were enjoying freedom after the oppression and struggle against colonialism. During 1970’s Indian cinema brought in a new genre portraying joy and happiness. This genre of movies appeared with vibrant and bold colors, singing, dancing sharing family bond was a big hit in Nigeria. This paper examines the journey of Indian Cinema in Nigeria instituting love and fantasy. It also traces the success of cultural bonding between two countries disseminating strong cultural exchanges thereof. Keywords: Indian cinema, Bollywood, Nigeria. Introduction: Backdrop of Indian Cinema Indian Cinema (Bollywood) is one of the most vibrant and entertaining industries on earth. In 1896 the Lumière brothers, introduced the art of cinema in India by setting up the industry with the screening of few short films for limited audience in Bombay (present Mumbai). The turning point for Indian Cinema came into being in 1913 when Dada Saheb Phalke considered as the father of Indian Cinema.

  • Screen1900 Schulze Diss Phal
    Appendix 1 Extracts from Phalke's Articles 377 Excerpts of "Bharatiya Chitrapat" ('Indian chitrapat 1') by Dhundiraj Govind Phalke (1917A & B/ 1918A & B). An article in four parts pub- lished in Navyug ('New Era'), a modernist cultural magazine from Bombay, Nov. and Dec. 1917, Feb. and Sept. 1918 In the following Phalke's original Marathi text is made available in its most authentic form. I initiated a new translation of selected paragraphs of Phalke's "Bharatiya chitrapat" from Marathi into English. In order to re- duce the interpretative bias in the English translation of 1970 (Phalke 1970A, B, C, D) to the minimum and be as close as possible to Phalke's subjective point of view, I asked assistance in the translation from persons well-acquainted with that period of time, so as to get the historical flavour of the meaning of the words, point out ambiguities and allusions which are plenty and important in the original. Mohini Varde, Marathi theatre scholar formerly of the University of Mum- bai translated most of these portions of Phalke's text; Vijaya Muley (New Delhi and Montreal), filmmaker, film scholar and an activist in the truest sense of the word in the film societies' movement since nearly half a cen- tury, assisted me in clearing up last inconsistencies of meaning. Curiously, it was mainly women2 - and in most cases all the wisdom of their age - contributing to my own sensitisation to Phalke's 'world of cin- ema'. His granddaughter Madhavi Mitra rather casually in our informal talk at Pune in 1995 told me something that became the key to my understand- ing of Phalke's philosophy of cinema.

  • Raja Harishchandra Is a Most Thrilling Story from Indian Mythology. Harishchandra Was a Great King of India, Who Flourished Several Centuries Before the Christian Era
    Notes The Times of India gave pre-screening publicity as follows: 'Raja Harishchandra is a most thrilling story from Indian mythology. Harishchandra was a great king of India, who flourished several centuries before the Christian era. He (sic) and his wife's names were household words in every Indian home for their truthfulness and chastity respectively. Their son Rohidas was a marvellous type of noble manhood. What Job was in Christian (sic) Bible, so Harischandra was in the Indian mythology. The patience of this king was tried so much that he was reduced to utter poverty and he had to pass his days in jungles in the company of cruel beasts. The same fate overcame his faithful wife and the dutiful son. But truth tri- umphed at last and they came out successfully through the ordeal. Several Indian scenes as depicted in this film are sim- ply marvellous. It is really a pleasure to see this piece of Indian workmanship'. The Bombay Chronicle, while reviewing Raja Harishchandra in its issue of Monday, 5th May 1913 said, 'An interesting de- parture is made this week by the management of Coronation Cinematographer. The first great Indian dramatic film on the lines of the great epics of the western world ... it is curious that the first experiment in this direction was so long in com- ing (sic) ... all the stories of Indian mythology era will long make their appearance ... followed by representations of modern dramas and comedies, another field which opens up vast possibilities ... it is to Mr Phalke that Bombay owes this ..

    Travel Log #1: An Ode to the City of Death (Varanasi; November-December 2019) Alexander Mark Kinaj Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: American journeys to India with the hope of finding peace, enlightenment, nirvana—whatever you’d like to call it. Ostensibly, not a novel ​ ​ plan, I know. But this wasn’t my first time in India, so I was already self-aware about the Sisyphean nature of my aspirations. That is, searching for something that could be found in my backyard of upstate New York—and really, within myself—yet trekking back to India each time ​ ​ a new existential crisis cropped up. I was also self-aware of another potential pitfall: namely, using travel as a means of escaping my problems or fears, rather than confronting them. However, after my first trip to India back in 2016, I realized traveling, real traveling, brought ​ ​ you closer to your fears and really, yourself. I think one of my favorite authors, James Baldwin, summed it up best when he said, “I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself.” When I arrived in Delhi on November 1st, beleaguered from a 24-hour journey that included a layover in Russia, I was greeted by a familiar, albeit grown, face: Sparsh. It had been four years since I had seen the cousin of my highschool classmate, Monica, and he had grown as much as one can from 13 to 17. He was the only child of the Dutt family, and we became very close during the short amount of time I spent in Delhi.

  • English Language and Literature Core Course VIII – Film Studies
    English Language and Literature SEMESTER V Core Course VIII – Film Studies (EN 1543) Part 2 FILM MOVEMENTS SOVIET MONTAGE (1924-1930) • Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of shorts are edited into a sequence to compact space, time, and information. • Visual montage may combine shots to tell a story chronologically or may juxtapose images to produce an impression or to illustrate an association of ideas. • Montage technique developed early in cinema, primarily through the work of the American directors Edwin S. Porter and D.W. Griffith. Soviet Montage • Soviet Montage Montage describes cutting together images that aren’t in spatial or temporal continuity. • Director Lev Kulshov first conceptualized montage theory on the basis that one frame may not be enough to convey an idea or an emotion • •The audience are able to view two separate images and subconsciously give them a collective context. • In the 1920s, a lack of film stock meant that Soviet filmmakers often re-edited existing films or learned how to make films by deconstructing old ones rather than shooting new material. • When they did shoot film, they often had only short lengths of film left over from other productions, so they not only used short shots, they often planned them in great detail. Kuleshov Effect • Kuleshov experiment is a good example. • The basic notion that a subsequent image could affect the viewer’s interpretation of the previous one was supported by behavioral psychology theories popular at the time. • Kuleshov concluded from his experiment that editing created the opportunity to link entirely unrelated material in the minds of the viewers, who were no longer seen as simply absorbing meaning from the images, but actually creating meaning by associating the different images and drawing meaning from their juxtaposition.

  • The “Bollywoodization” of Popular Indian Visual Culture: a Critical Perspective
    tripleC 12(1): 277-285, 2014 http://www.triple-c.at The “Bollywoodization” of Popular Indian Visual Culture: A Critical Perspective Keval J. Kumar Adjunct Professor, Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad, India. kevalku- [email protected] Abstract: The roots of popular visual culture of contemporary India can be traced to the mythological films produced by D. G. Phalke during the decades of the ‘silent’ era from 1912 to 1934. The era of the “talkies” of the 1930s ushered in the “singing’” or musical genre, which together with Phalke’s visual style remains the hallmark of Bollywood cinema. The history of Indian cinema is replete with films made in other genres and styles (e. g., social realism, satires, comedies, fantasy, horror, or stunt) in the numerous languages of the country. However, it is the popular Hindi cinema (now generally termed Bollywood) that has dominated national Indian cinema and its audiovisual culture. It has hegemonized the entire film industry as well as other popular technology-based art forms including the press, radio, television, music, advertising, the worldwide web, the social media, and telecommunica- tions media. The form and substance of these modern art forms, while adapting to the demands of the new media technologies, continued to be rooted in the visual arts and practices of folk and classical traditions of earlier times. Keywords: Visual Culture, Hegemony, Visual Style, Indian Cinema, Indian Television, Indian Advertising 1. Introduction Infinite diversity, plurality and multiplicity are the primary features that mark popular Indian visual culture. This culture has come about through centuries of absorption, integration and acculturation, as the subcontinent evolved at its own leisurely pace engaging with invaders, settlers and colonialists who brought with them audio and visual cultures of their own.

  • SAGA of BIRTH of FIRST INDIAN MOVIE Dadasaheb
    SAGA OF BIRTH OF FIRST INDIAN MOVIE Dadasaheb returned from London. A convenient and spa- cious place was necessary for the filming of movies. He be- gan a search for it. By then, Laxmi Printing Art Works had shifted from Mathuradas Makanji's Mathura Bhavan to Sankli Street at Byculla, so that his bungalow at Dadar was vacant. While in Mumbai, Dadasaheb had lived in this bun- galow for seven years. He now called on Mathuradasseth, who was glad that a painstaking, imaginative artist like Dadasaheb wished to start a new venture in his bungalow. He handed it over to Dadasaheb who then shifted his family from Ismail Building at Charni Road to this bungalow. This birthplace of Indian Film Industy still stands at Dadasaheb Phalke Road, Dadar, with the name 'Mathura Bhavan'. The subject for a movie was already under consideration. In his magazine Suvarnamala, Dadasaheb had already written a story, 'Surabaichi Kahani', depicting the ill effects of drinking. Before selecting the story, Dadasaheb saw the American movies screened in Mumbai such as Singomar, Protect, etc. in order to get a proper idea of the type of movies which the audiences like. He found that movies based on mystery and love were patronised by Europeans, Parsis and people in the lower strata of society. So, if a movie is to be public-oriented, its subject should be such as would appeal to the middle class people and women, so that they would see it in large numbers, and it should also highlight Indian culture. SAGA OF BIRTH OF FIRST INDIAN MOVIE Dadasaheb knew well that cultural and religious feel- ings were rooted deep in the heart.
