  • Enchantment of the Mind Preface
    PREFACE 1 March 2004 marked the tenth anniversary of the death of Manmohan Desai. A fall from the terrace of his Khetwadi home brought the 57-year old filmmaker’s life to an end in the spring of 1994. The suspected suicide came as a shock both to those nearest to him and to the film world as a whole, as testified in countless articles and tributes in the Indian and international press in the month following his death. The articles that appeared spanned the gamut of reactions: praise for Desai as a man and as a filmmaker, heartfelt remembrances from those who had worked with him, indignation and disbelief over the circumstances of his death, and speculation over possible motives for suicide— depression over severe backaches being most frequently offered as an explanation. At that time, I could not help feeling a personal sadness over his death. I had, after all, spent the better part of four years studying Manmohan Desai’s work before completing an initial version of this book in 1987. It was, therefore, consoling to have immediate and direct evidence of Manmohan Desai’s work living on beyond his death, as happened one day in 1994 when I walked into an Indian carry-out restaurant in Paris and saw a colorful dance scene from Dharam-Veer playing on the conspicuously placed VCR. Those waiting in line stood transfixed before the screen, their faces radiating joy. Curious to know if Desai’s work had crossed the generations, I asked a young man in his twenties if he knew who had directed the film.

  • Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music by Ashwini Kumar Rath
    Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music By Ashwini Kumar Rath Shankar Jaikishan music, synonym of Indian Film music, has far reaching impact in India and outside. The duo moulded music and musical mood of masses since 1949, and are still considered to be the best music composers from India. The duo also contributed outside movie industry with their much celebrated album Raga in Jazz Style, and background music for documentary Everest expedition among many others. If we look at the popular impact by any personalities in the field of music during the post-independence period in India, the obvious choice is Shankar Jaikishan. Shankar, the more versatile of the two, was a prolific musician with mastery over dozens of instruments, Indian classical music and dance forms. He was primarily responsible for building Shankar Jaikishan team with dedicated lyricists, music assistants, and jumbo-sized 60-pieces orchestra, and was the lead composer. On the other hand, Jaikishan was incredibly creative and legendary composer himself. He was genius of background music and romantic tunes though he too could compose songs in other genres. While Shankar's musical jhankar propels divine dwellers to zoom in unison with ecstasy, romantic effervescence of Jaikishan music brings divine feelings on to earth. During initial years, all decisions about musical engagements were made by Shankar; but both started taking up assignments separately in the late sixties. They had sharp contrasts in personalities and physical appearances. Shankar was gym-savvy, non- drinker, and was a strict disciplinarian. On the other hand, Jaikishan was party-man and was very social.

  • Semester: Fall 2015 Office Hours: MW 12-1, PAR 27
    UGS 303 Bollywood, India, and After Instructor: Shingavi, S – Cross-lists: N/A [email protected] Flags: N/A Unique #: 61495, 61500, 61505, 61510, 61515, TA: 61520 Computer Instruction: N Semester: Fall 2015 Office Hours: MW 12-1, PAR 27 Description: Bollywood cinema became a global phenomenon sometime after the economic liberalization of India. It became, in many ways, the cultural ambassador for an “India Shining,” the impossible dream of uninterrupted growth, for the rest of the world. But Bollywood’s roots were much grittier, with the social films of the 60s and the “Angry Young Men” films of the 1970s and 1980s, the progressive theater, and more. This long history of Bollywood is also in many ways a reflection of important historical changes that India has undergone: urbanization, globalization, uneven economic development. This class is broken up (more or less) into four historical periods: 1947-1975 (the era of high nationalism); 1975-1991 (the Emergency to the Economic Reforms); 1991-2004 (from Mandir, Masjid, Mandal to “India Shining”); and 2004-present. We will trace representations of India in cinema by looking at three classic landscapes: the country, the city (Bombay), and the slums. The goal of organizing the class in this way is not only to provide a sort of filmic history of India, but also to see how changes in the economy and in the social organization of India affected cultural representations of stock figures (the peasant, the slum dweller, the super-rich urbanite, etc.). We will also be particularly interested in considering representations of women, Muslims, and the lower castes (also called scheduled or backward castes).

In fact, Jaikishan was mostly the point of contact for producers, directors and actors to incorporate their requests due to his friendly nature. Of course, both were great human beings, and were incredibly simple in spite of fame and richness.

  • The Curious Case of Bombay's Hindi Cinema: the Career of Indigenous
    The Curious Case of Bombay’s Hindi Cinema: The Career of Indigenous ‘Exhibition’ Capital (part I) Ashish Rajadhyaksha In a… recent statement you include cinema among evils like gambling, sutta , horse-racing etc., which you leave alone ‘for fear of losing your caste’… We want decent people to take an interest in this industry, so that it becomes an instrument of social good rather than a tamasha . But these people may be discouraged and kept away if you and other great men like you continue to count the cinema among such vices as gambling and drinking - K.A. Abbas, ‘A Letter to Mahatma Gandhi’ (Abbas, 1939) The origins of illegitimacy - 1955 Raj Kapoor’s K.A. Abbas-scripted Shri 420 (1955) is the quintessential post- War Bombay melodrama. The story of an educated youth from Allahabad who is unable to find employment, makes a fortune through gambling, finds himself embroiled in loan sharks and financiers, and is eventually rescued by the school teacher Vidya (Nargis), encourages a reading of itself as a saga of capitalism, with its hyper-visible picturing of capital literally as money - the ‘rupiyon ke jhankaar’ (the jangle of rupee coins), the only sound the otherwise deaf city can hear, as the beggar (M. Kumar) says in the film’s beginning. 'visible' capital as money in Shree 420 : (Left) Maya (Nadira) flings a Rs 10 note at Raj after he has won her Rs 20,000 in a card game. (Right) Raj waves cash at Vidya (Nargis) Slightly harder to capture is the link between the film’s epic unveiling of the art of making money in Bombay, the great evils of urban pleasure to which Abbas makes mention in his complaint to Gandhi - of satta, racing, gambling, drinking - and their possible connection with the cinema; and the further links between all of these with wartime Bombay’s drive to control, to buy or ‘own’, the city as a characteristic of its citizenship.

  • Jews in Bollywood
    JEWS IN BOLLYWOOD By Associate Professor Danny Ben-Moshe, Centre for Citizenship and Globalization, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia Introduction When Indian cinema began in 1913 it was taboo for Hindu and Islamic women to perform in public, so until Jewish and other “Anglo-Indian” women started acting in Indian films, women’s roles were played by men, much in the style of Shakespeare. However, the Jewish community was more liberal and educated and willing to embrace the exciting new medium of film. The fact that Indian Jews also had a lighter shade of skin, particular the Baghdadi Jews who descended from migrants from across the Middle East, made these women seem all the more suited to the celluloid. Uninhibited by the value based constraints on their Hindu and Islamic peers, these women pushed the boundaries of Indian cinema and took the industry by storm. This article is based on the presentation and analysis of images of three major female Jewish stars whose careers spanned the three main stages in the develop of the world’s largest cinema industry that we now know as Bollywood: the foremost actress of the Silent Era of the 1920s Sulochana (AKA Ruby Myers), the star of the early sound era of the 1930s and first Miss India Pramila (AKA Esther Abrahams), the archetype vamp from the Golden Era of Indian film in the 1950s and 1060s, Nadira (AKA Farhat Ezikiel). The Indian Jewish community comprised three groups, the Cochin Jews who have a two thousand year old history in the south of India, the Bene Israel Jews, who share a 2000 year history and traditionally lived on the Konkan coats near Bombay which they migrated to in large number at the turn of the twentieth century, and Baghdadi Jews who migrated to India from across the Middle East from the 1600s onwards.

  • Introductory Remarks for the Raj Kapoor Retrospective
    Introductory Remarks for the Raj Kapoor Retrospective Samir Dayal, Associate Professor of English and Media Studies at Bentley University Raj Kapoor (1924‐1988) was one of the leading lights of Hindi cinema during its Golden Age from about 1940 through the 1960s. He was born in what became Pakistan after Indian Independence and Partition in 1947. He won many awards, including nine Filmfare awards, two nominations for the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and one of India’s highest honors, the Padma Bhushan. He was honored with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for contributions to Indian Cinema. So legendary was his stature at the end of his career that the Wikipedia entry on Kapoor even today tells a tale aprocryphal and melodramatic enough to make a Hindi film director blush: that Wikipedia entry suggests that Kapoor died at the very moment that the Phalke award was being conferred on him by the President! Kapoor was no isolated genius. He came from and occupied an important place in the first family of Indian cinema, and in the world’s largest film industry. His father was the eminent Prithviraj Kapoor; his siblings Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor were major film stars; his children, Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor, and grandchildren Karishma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor have been significant presences on the silver screen. Certainly he became an icon in his own right. But before that he was a member of the activist Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), formed in 1942, five years before Independence. Theatrical instincts and deep ideological convictions developed in his collaboration with the IPTA would inform all his work in the cinema.
