Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi's Biographical Play to Debut in New Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s biographical play to debut in New Delhi By : INVC Team Published On : 4 Oct, 2017 12:00 AM IST INVC NEWS Mumbai , India’s largest theatre production company AGP World will stage the multifaceted film actor, writer, singer, painter & candle-maker, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s biographical play ‘Drama Queen’ for the first time to audiences in New Delhi. Starring Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, and directed by Inaayat Ali Sami this gripping performance will be showcased at the old world theatre festival at The Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Center, New Delhi on 6th October 2017. Her new theatrical innings titled ‘Drama Queen’ presented by AGP World draws inspiration from her biography and will expose her in a never seen before avatar for the first time after a hiatus of more than a decade. Irrepressibly Saucy Drama Queen is an honest play that will make you laugh, cry and look at the modern Indian woman in a whole new light with all her vulnerabilities and strengths. Speaking about her debut on stage, Director Inaayat Ali Sami says, “Suchitra is a flawless actor and it has taken us nearly a year to be fully prepared for this theatrical public showcase. We are confident we can do full justice to the theatrical interpretation of her novel and bring to the fore Suchitra in totality, not as the world knows her but as what she really is.” Ashvin Gidwani, Producer & MD, AGP World elaborates, “It gives me great pleasure to present to the world a facet of an icon who has always preferred to be reserved about her personal affairs. The Audience will be left shocked and surprised as her story unfolds on stage.” A successful debut Bollywood film with mega star Shah Rukh Khan, marriage with an internationally renowned film maker Shekhar Kapur, a pop album with music by Andrew Lloyd Weber....Walking the red carpet at the Oscars…What more could any young girl with stars in her eyes aspire to? In her candid, wacky, madcap biography, Drama Queen, the vivacious Suchitra Krishnamoorthi takes us on a hormone driven period of her life 5 years post marriage and divorce, fame and everything that a girl from a 'decent' Indian family would want. This is no longer the world of propriety that any culture would prescribe for a woman. A single mother, stuck in the quagmire of her strict middle class moral upbringing, Suchitra hurtles, chugs and summersaults on a rollercoaster journey in a desperate bid to find security and true love. In the process rediscovering her relationship with her mother, her past and most importantly herself. Emerging with a new voice long suppressed and lost under the perplexing burdens of conforming to being ‘I’m a good girl -I am’. This is one theatrical performance that you just cannot afford to miss!! www.internationalnewsandviews.com URL : https://www.internationalnewsandviews.com/actress-suchitra-krishnamoorthis-biographical-play-to-debut-in-new-delhi/ 12th year of news and views excellency Committed to truth and impartiality Copyright © 2009 - 2019 International News and Views Corporation.

    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 21 (2017) Item Girls and Objects of Dreams: Why Indian Censors Agree to Bold Scenes in Bollywood Films Tatiana Szurlej The article presents the social background, which helped Bollywood film industry to develop the so-called “item numbers”, replace them by “dream sequences”, and come back to the “item number” formula again. The songs performed by the film vamp or the character, who takes no part in the story, the musical interludes, which replaced the first way to show on the screen all elements which are theoretically banned, and the guest appearances of film stars on the screen are a very clever ways to fight all the prohibitions imposed by Indian censors. Censors found that film censorship was necessary, because the film as a medium is much more popular than literature or theater, and therefore has an impact on all people. Indeed, the viewers perceive the screen story as the world around them, so it becomes easy for them to accept the screen reality and move it to everyday life. That’s why the movie, despite the fact that even the very process of its creation is much more conventional than, for example, the theater performance, seems to be much more “real” to the audience than any story shown on the stage. Therefore, despite the fact that one of the most dangerous elements on which Indian censorship seems to be extremely sensitive is eroticism, this is also the most desired part of cinema. Moreover, filmmakers, who are tightly constrained, need at the same time to provide pleasure to the audience to get the invested money back, so they invented various tricks by which they manage to bypass censorship.

  • Addressing the Queen: Costumes and Elizabeth I in Film
    ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Under the Direction of Frances Teague ABSTRACT This work focuses on how costumes convey meaning about Queen Elizabeth I in her biopics. First, I will examine the queen’s costume in the final scene of Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 film Elizabeth as a response to the heritage film debate. By conflating two famous portrait gowns, Kapur plays upon the audience’s visual expectations of historical film, thereby separating his film from those that had been criticized as “heritage films.” After using Elizabeth to complicate questions of genre, I will turn to Henry Koster’s 1955 film The Virgin Queen in order to examine how Elizabeth’s costumes depict her as a frustrated, passive figure juxtaposed against Sir Walter Raleigh, who actively fashions his identity by choosing his own clothing. INDEX WORDS: Queen Elizabeth I, Cate Blanchett, Bette Davis, Shekhar Kapur, Henry Koster, costumes, historical film, heritage film, national identity, British national identity, royal portraits, iconography ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING B.A., Wofford College, 2001 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 Lisa Ward Bolding All Rights Reserved ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Major Professor: Frances Teague Committee: Christy Desmet Hugh Ruppersburg Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 2005 DEDICATION To Mom and Nana, for all your generous gifts; my love of stories comes from you.

  • The King, the Queen, the Virgin, and the Cross: Catholicism Versus Protestantism in Elizabeth and Elizabeth: the Golden Age
    The King, the Queen, the Virgin, and the Cross: Catholicism versus Protestantism in Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age Aidan Norrie University of Otago The way that historical films depict conflict often says much more about the contemporary religious and political climate than it does about the period depicted on the screen. Both of Shekhar Kapur’s films about Queen Elizabeth I of England – Elizabeth (1998) and Elizabeth: the Golden Age (2007) – clearly reflect and repurpose contemporary religious tensions. While a film about Elizabethan England cannot avoid engaging with religious politics, with this paper I will argue that Kapur took contemporary religious debates, and repurposed them for his films. This repurposing is visible in the depictions of Catholics and Protestants: Catholics are depicted as evil and scheming – a metaphor for modern religious fundamentalism; whereas the Protestants, embodied by Elizabeth, are depicted as being moderate, rational, and secular—people who wish to rise above religious divides, and rule for the common good. Due to time constraints, my paper will only look at one particular scene in detail—the passing of the Act of Uniformity—but will devote more time to looking at the criticisms that were levelled at the films for their depiction of Catholics, and suggest that repurposing the past to comment on the present is often rather fraught. Elizabeth premiered at the Venice Film Festival on the 8th of September 1998. It received its cinematic premier in London the 2nd of October. Much of the writing and principal photography of the film took place against the backdrop of the Troubles—a very modern and contemporary parallel of Kapur’s subject matter.
