During my research I have tried to understand how the narrative changes during the process of adaptation. I am also interested in exploring further dimensions of the relationship between literature and cinema. Currently, I am doing a project on Shyam Benegal’s cinema in which I am trying to understand how Shyam Benegal, as a filmmaker, has responded to issues of India in post-colonial times. The attempt is to study the image of India emerging in his cinema. Besides, I am a translator. I have translated two books of Hindi poetry into English. Presently, I am translating Punjabi poetry into English. Publications BOOKS Research Work: ‘Fiction to Film: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's The Householder and Heat and Dust’. Orient BlackSwan, India, 2017.

It is a critical-historical account of the transitional era, roughly from 1998 to 2018, and examines practices and decisions taken ‘on the ground’ by film sound recordists, editors, designers and mixers. My work explores the histories and genealogies of the transition by analysing the individual, as well as collective, aesthetic concerns of film workers migrating from the celluloid to the digital age. My inquiry aimed to explore linkages between the digital turn and shifts in production practices, notably sound recording, sound design and sound mixing. The study probes the various ways in which these shifts shaped the aesthetics, styles, genre conventions, and norms of image-sound relationships in Indian cinema in comparison with similar practices from Euro-American film industries.

  • Sajjanpur: an Introduction with Opinions
    Welcome to Sajjanpur: An Introduction with Opinions Sanjay Joshi, Northern Arizona University Welcome to Sajjanpur offers an outstanding perspective on the way in which life in contemporary India is changing – a change that is bringing with it a whole range of problems but also possibilities. Directed by Shyam Benegal, who has to his credit a bagful of national and international awards, Sajjanpur is a bit of departure for this director better known for his more ‘meaningful’ or serious cinema. In Sajjanpur too, Benegal takes on serious issues. Local politics, violence, caste, class, sexuality, rural unemployment, migrant labor, the global market in human organs – you will see how all of these things impact the people of Sajjanpur in this film. But, unlike the films that first brought Benegal national and international recognition in the 1970s – films such as Ankur, Nishant, Manthan, or Bhumika – in this 2008 film, Benegal is able to bring these issues to the attention of the audience by weaving them together with a lighthearted story line. Its satirical look at problems of contemporary India, rather than the gritty social realism characteristic of Benegal’s earlier cinema, is what makes this film an excellent portrait of rural or small town India. The hero of the film is Mahadev, played by the up and coming actor Shreyas Talpade. After his BA, the unemployed Mahadev makes a living by writing letters for the non-literate people in his village (which, sometimes, extends to composing SMS messages on cell phones!) though he aspires to be a published novelist. His profession, though, makes him privy to a whole range of issues plaguing the village.

  • History of Indian Cinema.Pdf
    CHAPTER – 2 A BRIEF HISTORY OF INDIAN CINEMA Indian films are unquestionably the most –seen movies in the world. Not just talking about the billion- strong audiences in India itself, where 12 million people are said to go to the cinema every day, but of large audiences well beyond the Indian subcontinent and the Diaspora, in such unlikely places as Russia, China, the Middle East, the Far East Egypt, Turkey and Africa. People from very different cultural and social worlds have a great love for Indian popular cinema, and many have been Hindi Films fans for over fifty years. Indian cinema is world – famous for the staggering amount of films it produces: the number is constantly on the increase, and recent sources estimate that a total output of some 800 films a year are made in different cities including Madrass , Bangalore , Calcutta and Hyderabad . Of this astonishing number, those films made in Bombay, in a seamless blend of Hindi and Urdu, have the widest distribution within India and Internationally. The two sister languages are spoken in six northern states and understood by over 500 million people on the Indian sub – continent alone – reason enough for Hindi and Urdu to be chosen above the fourteen official Indian languages to become the languages of Indian Popular cinema when sound came to the Indian Silver screen in 1931 . Silent Era – The cinematographe (from where we have the name cinema) invented by the Lumiere brothers functioned better the Kinetoscope of Edison and Dickson. The Lumiere brothers who invented the cinematographe started projection of short (very short, one to two minutes long) films for the Parsian public on November 28, 1895.
