The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

    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.

    [LISTED] THE UNDERDOG TURNED SUPERSTAR ANURAG KASHYAP, GUNEET MONGA, NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI, RICHA CHADDA, VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE Text Shahnaz Siganporia Photography Ishika Mohan Motwane N THE INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY, there are good and bad words. ‘Un- derdog’, ‘struggler’, ‘starlet’ are clubbed into the ‘bad’ category while I words such as ‘Superstar’, ‘100 Crore Club’, ‘legacy’ fall into the ‘good’ category. However, sometimes the two combine to form a heady cocktail. The starlet bags a 100 crore film and the underdog becomes the superstar. The latter is a tricky balance—there’s the formulaic superstar and then there’s the superstar who paves his or her own way and creates cinema that goes way beyond the norm. Over the last few years, the tides have been busy changing, contorting and transforming our home-grown film industry. And let’s face it, in an industry raking in the moolah, thanks to wish-fulfilment and feel- good stories, we’re suckers for the runt who becomes the alpha. In the 100th year of Indian cinema, Platform celebrates the erstwhile underdogs who have gone on to carve out a space for themselves and have begun their ascent to stardom.

  • From Mother India to Queen
    KCG-Portal of Journals Continuous Issue-36 | October – November 2018 A study of Female hero: From Mother India to Queen Movies are considered to be a source of entertainment though they carry some societal reflection, significantly, most of the movies are made keeping public taste in mind. But few are made to highlight the social evil, out dated rituals and tradition prevalent in the society; providentially, condition of woman is among them. Usually, in most of the Indian movies the role of a female counterpart (heroine) is to entertain the public by dancing, singing and by acting on some romantic scenes; thus, the role of a heroine in most of the movies is to add spices and seductive flavor by exposing her figure, while acting is not so important. Consequently, role of a heroine in most of the Indian movies is narrowed down and she is used just to sell the product, mere commoditization of a woman body, nothing else!Humorously, the condition of a female shown in most of the movies projects advancement in style of costumes, make up and life styles but thinking is still outdated. But certain categories of movies have female heroes.They steer the movie on her shoulders without any dominant male counterpart. And they leave behind a long lasting message for the society as they attack those apparently spotless surface of social evil, patriarch locked perception! Though Indian cinema, especially, Bollywood has produced many movies in which women have main lead creating a tiny revolution of 21st century! For instance Fashion(2008), narrating a story of an ambitious girl, there are movies like Chak de India (2007)Mary Kom(2014), Dangal(2016), two of them are based on real life story, it also brought in an issue of promoting girls for sports.
