  • Will Chulbul's 'Swag' Override Memories of Thunder?
    Will Chulbul's 'swag' override memories of Thunder? Pepsi's new face and Dabangg star Salman Khan a.k.a Chulbul Pandey has been a face for rival cola brand Thums Up. We speak to experts Rohit Ohri, KV Sridhar, Darshana Bhalla and Manish Bhatt for their take on this interesting development. There was a ruffle in the advertising and marketing fraternity around a recent piece of news concerning Pepsi. The flagship beverage brand from PepsiCo has just announced its association with Bollywood superstar and former Thums Up face Salman Khan. Brand faces change over time depending on objectives, but Pepsi's partnership with the Dabangg star flags two key points – the endorser's former association with rival cola brand Thums Up and Pepsi's recent positioning as a youth facing brand, placing itself alongside college students and within campuses. Why did Thums Up choose Salman Khan back in the day? This high octane cola brand from Coca Cola has always worn macho faces, including the likes of Suniel Shetty, Akshay Kumar, Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu and more recently Ranveer Singh. All the film stars have had action packed roles in their parallel presence on the silver screen and this was extended to the ad communications. After all, it had to be about the 'Thunder'. Coca-Cola India signed Salman Khan for Thums Up in 2012. The company had then tied up with Khan's movie Dabangg 2 which released on December 21 the same year. The action movie features Khan as Chulbul Pandey, a witty but strong-handed police officer.

    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 15 KATHAK AS VOCATION For long has dance been a vocation in India. Both men and women have been ritual dance specialists associated with temples and monasteries. The story of the Devadasis, Maibis and Maharis / भहायी is well known. There are monk dancers in Assam called bhakats who are examples of males who dedicate their lives to the performance of dance as an offering and a ritual in a temple. There were also public platforms, where for entertainment purposes men and women danced. Chhau / छाऊ, Raibenshe / यैफᴂशे, Yakshagana / मऺगान, Kuchipudi / कु चिऩुड़ी, etc are examples of how and when traditionally males’ danced. Some of the women belonging to specific communities were associated with dancing for entertainment. For instance the Kalbelia / कारफेलरमा, Rai / याइ and Bedia / फेडडमा women were for centuries known to dance for entertainment. It is believed that the Bedia women danced for the laborers from different parts of the word who had collected at Taj Ganj at the time of the building of the Taj Mahal. Later they were among the communities and tribes that entertained the British troupes. Today many Bedia girls are among the Bar dancers of Mumbai. Apart from these girls there was also a group of traditional performers called by various names- Tawaif / तवामप, baijis / फाईजी, 1 etc. They were a whole range of professional dancing girls, some so talented that they had access to the highest centres of power, like the palace and the courtly setting, and were well integrated with the royals and the aristocracy.

    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.10 (2021), 3856-3861 Research Article Content Analysis of Item Songs: Reflections of A Toxic Socio-Cultural Milieu Dr. Shivali Sharma1, and Dr. Anu Dandona2 a,b Assistant Professor, AIBAS, Amity University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. [email protected] Article History: Received: 10 January 2021; Revised: 12 February 2021; Accepted: 27 March 2021; Published online: 28 April 2021 Abstract: The present paper is based on the premise that the item songs in bollywood movies are the worst reflections of the identity of women. Movies are a popular form of mass media and they play a key role in moulding opinions, constructing images and reinforcing dominant cultural values. The structure of the "lyrics and the dance moves" in the item songs objectify the females in the most degrading ways. In the present paper content analysis was conducted on 15 Item Numbers over the span of 23 years. Considering the over popularity of the item songs, and its corresponding impact on culture; it is crucial to analyze and interpret the lyrics and dance moves portrayed in the Item Songs. The primary themes of the Top Item Songs were analyzed and they include: the glorification of criminal activities , self objectification, dismemberment, Materialism, high libidinal drive in women, the sexual objectification of women etc. 1. Introduction Sexual objectification is the treatment of an individual similarly as a body, an encounter of being treated as a body which is dominatingly introduced as an article for the joy of men or prevalently for the consumption of male look (Fredrickson, &Roberts, 1997).
