  • THE BUCHAREST UNIVERSITY of ECONOMIC STUDIES The
    THE BUCHAREST UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMIC STUDIES The Faculty of International Business and Economics The Department of Modern Languages and Business Communication of ASE Iuliu Hațieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy Cluj- Napoca 7th International Conference: Synergies in Communication Bucharest, Romania, 22 - 23 November 2018 BEHIND THE SCREENS: A STUDY OF THE FILMS OF THREE INDIAN WOMEN DIRECTORS Minouti NAIK1 Abstract Indian films, even after 76 years of independence and 105 years of Indian Cinema, are a predominantly male domain. The percentage of women film makers, in the industry, is a mere 9.1%. Despite this, the films directed by women have compelled audiences to take notice, because of the wide spectrum of issues they have touched upon. Three women directors, whose movies have left an indelible mark on the audiences, include Tanuja Chandra, Meghna Gulzar and Gauri Shinde. This paper analyses the work of these three women directors, for the uniqueness of their themes and the characters they have sketched, and attempts to find out, what has led to their films being etched deeply, into the consciousness of their audience. This will be analysed against the backdrop of the realities of the society from which these films emerge, and as a reflection of the gender dynamics existing in Indian society. Keywords: Indian cinema, women, themes, characters, uniqueness 1. Introduction Men have sight, women insight. - Victor Hugo Victor Hugo‟s observation, penned down in his memoirs, might be an apt point to begin with, when one reflects upon films made by Indian women filmmakers. Despite films forming a very important facet of the Indian society and the fact that India completed 105 years of cinema, this year, the number of women making films in India is very small.

  • Reading Communication As Cannibalism in the Lunchbox and Papa No Obentō Wa Sekai Ichi
    The Way to the Heart through the Stomach: Reading Communication as Cannibalism in The Lunchbox and Papa no Obentō wa Sekai Ichi Sambhabi Ghosh 1 Abstract: In this paper, I would like to explore the communication that can be enacted using the language of food, and the symbolic cannibalism in the process of understanding such language, through Ritesh Batra’s The Lunchbox (2013) and Masakazu Fukatsu’s Papa no Obentō wa Sekai Ichi (Dad’s Lunch Box 2017). The language of the food (what one eats) is intrinsically bound up with how one eats (the consumption) and how one prepares what is to be eaten (the communication) and their interaction is crucial to the recognition that “understanding is still an assimilation” (Birnbaum and Olsson). Such assimilation facilitates what Derrida calls an “infinite hospitality” (Derrida 282)—a continuous two-way nourishment of understanding the others, as well as giving oneself to be understood by the others, using “the very notion of comprehending as an act of incorporation” (Birnbaum and Olsson). I would also like to extend this idea into the relationship of the audience with film itself—in their consumption of characters, the stories, and the cultures represented—geared towards a back-and-forth nourishment between addresser and addressee. Keywords: food, cannibalism, function of language, Derrida, Jakobson Novalis, in what would seem like a bizarre supposition, speaks of friendship as a form of cannibalistic assimilation. He writes: All spiritual pleasure can be expressed through eating. In friendship, one really eats of the friend, or feeds on him. It is a genuine trope to substitute the body for the spirit – and, at a commemorative dinner for a friend, to enjoy, with bold, supersensual imagination, his flesh in every bite, and his blood in every gulp.

  • 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.

  • Anurag Kashyap's Female Characters
    International Journal of Current Research in Education, Culture and Society Vol. 3, Issue 1 - 2019 ANURAG KASHYAP’S FEMALE CHARACTERS - PORTRAYING INDIVIDUALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES MAHESH KUMAR *, PARMOD BHATNAGAR * ABSTRACT Anurag Kashyap, a name synonymous to path-breaking cinema in India, has always portrayed women as independent and strong-headed. Kashyap’s movies create a woman in freehold, a wild spirit truly living its own breath. She demands, craves, yearns and fights, does whatever is required to keep him individualism and belief intact. The movies like Dev D, Gulaal, Gangs of Wasseypur and Manmarziyaan bring about a wide variety of treatment of the female characters. Anurag Kashyap’s craftsmanship outshines as he liberates each of these women from the traditional and conservative bounds of women being the second sex.The present paper discusses the roles of women in Anurag Kashyap’s movies namely; ‘Gulaal’, ‘Dev D’, ‘Manmarziyaan’, ‘That Girl in Yellow Boots’ and ‘The Gangs of Wasseypur’. KEYWORDS: Women Characters, Anurag Kashyap’s Characters, Bollywood. “Cinema is much more than heroes and villains”. Anurag Kashyap INTRODUCTION From drama to cinema the journey of evolution huge industry that thrives on supply and demand. of art as a medium of connection between people (Chhetry 2015) has had many twists and turns.
