  • Interlingual and Intersemiotic Transfer of Indian Cinema in Hong Kong
    Indian Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies | 45 Author(s): Andy Lung Jan CHAN Published by: Indian Journal of Comparative Literature and Translation Studies (IJCLTS) Issue Number: Volume 2, Number 1, February, 2014 ISSN Number: 2321-8274 Issue Editor: Rindon Kundu Editor : Mrinmoy Pramanick & Md Intaj Ali Website Link: http://ijclts.wordpress.com/ Interlingual and Intersemiotic Transfer of Indian Cinema in Hong Kong Abstract The history of Indian immigration to Hong Kong can be traced to the 1840s, when Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire. However, Hong Kong Chinese people‟s knowledge of the local Indian community is limited. The stereotyping of Indian culture in the Hong Kong movie Himalaya Singh shows that Indian people and culture are often distorted and negatively portrayed in the media, and the secluded Indian community in Hong Kong is marginalised and neglected in the mainstream media. In recent years, Indian cinema has gained popularity in Hong Kong, but this survey of the Chinese movie titles, trailer subtitles and other publicity materials of four Indian movies (Slumdog Millionaire; 3 Idiots; English, Vinglish; and The Lunchbox) show that the films have to be recast and transfigured during interlingual and intersemiotic transfers so that it can become more accessible to Hong Kong Chinese audiences. 1. Introduction The history of Indian immigration to Hong Kong can be traced to the 1840s, when Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire. In the social and economic development during the early colonial days, Indian people played an important role. Some Indian families have lived in the territory for generations and consider Hong Kong their home.

    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.

Nayee ii Abstract Contemporary fascination with ‘Bollywood’ proliferates much of reality TV dance shows, media blurbs and other communicative outlets. These avenues homogenize India as ‘Bollywood’, while social and political outlets place Indians and people of South Asian descent into fitted stereotypes that are ridiculed and largely distorted. The intent of this thesis was to explore how the growing international intrigues of popular Hindi films exist beyond ‘Bollywood’.

  • Pandit Carpets Hand Knotted Carpets Made with Natural Fibers
    Flicks Movie Review English Vinglish After a 15-year hiatus, mega-star of yesteryears Sridevi returns to films in Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish. The so-called comeback of the year began with a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival and a raking-in of Rs. 270 million worldwide in its first week—to say nothing of all the applause and murmurs of approval at the film’s premiere in Bangkok. All in all, this subtle feminist flick has won over many hearts (thanks only in small part to an adorable cameo by Amitabh Bachchan), including ours, and we’re a hard bunch to please. The story centres on Shashi, a doting wife and loving mother who is unappreciated by her family due to her inability to speak English. She’s constantly ridiculed by her teenage daughter for being an embarrassment and often essentialised by her husband as little more than a great cook. Low in confidence and silently wounded, she makes her way to New York to attend her niece’s wedding, minus the ball-and-chain family. There, she musters the courage to enrol in a four-week English course. It is here that she is recognised as being a small- business entrepreneur by her teacher and as a lovely, hot mama, by Laurent (Mehdi Nebbou), a painfully handsome and sweet French classmate in whom she confides despite the language barrier. Things get complicated, though, when her family arrives for the wedding, and Shashi gets into all kinds of dilemmas, including what to do about her final exam and about her would-be suitor.

  • 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.

  • Seeing Like a Feminist: Representations of Societal Realities in Women-Centric Bollywood Films
    Seeing like a Feminist: Representations of Societal Realities in Women-centric Bollywood Films Sutapa Chaudhuri, University of Calcutta, India The Asian Conference on Film & Documentary 2014 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract One of the most notable contemporary trends in Indian cinema, the genre of women oriented films seen through a feminist lens, has gained both critical acclaim and sensitive audience reception for its experimentations with form and cinematic representations of societal realities, especially women’s realities in its subject matter. The proposed paper is based on readings of such women centric, gender sensitive Bollywood films like Tarpan, Matrubhoomi or The Dirty Picture that foreground the harsh realities of life faced by women in the contemporary patriarchal Indian society, a society still plagued by evils like female foeticide/infanticide, gender imbalance, dowry deaths, child marriage, bride buying, rape, prostitution, casteism or communalism, issues that are glossed over, negated, distorted or denied representation to preserve the entertaining, escapist nature of the melodramatic, indeed addictive, panacea that the high-on-star-quotient mainstream Bollywood films, the so-called ‘masala’ movies, offer to the lay Indian masses. It would also focus on new age cinemas like Paheli or English Vinglish, that, though apparently following the mainstream conventions nevertheless deal with the different complex choices that life throws up before women, choices that force the women to break out from the stereotypical representation of women and embrace new complex choices in life. The active agency attributed to women in these films humanize the ‘fantastic’ filmi representations of women as either exemplarily good or baser than the basest—the eternal feminine, or the power hungry sex siren and present the psychosocial complexities that in reality inform the lives of real and/or reel women.

    Multi-Disciplinary Journal ISSN No- 2581-9879 (Online), 0076-2571 (Print) www.mahratta.org, [email protected] Shifting Paradigms of Female Characters in Bollywood Movies Sundke Aatif A. Assistant Professor, Department of Law Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth,. Abstract: Men in almost all the societies were considered as main source of income while the role of women was constrained to being an ideal homemaker and a decent mother. This validates to women in an extremely patriarchal society of India. As societies came into the era of Upgradation and modernization, the responsibility of women transfigured significantly. Media actively performed an imperative task in the transformation of societies and significantly influenced the persona of women in today’s contemporary world. End number of researches has been done on the role of women in various societies. Nevertheless, very little has been said about the significance of movies in depicting women in shifting paradigms over several decades and the influence it has on societies by and large. Over the last decades, Indian cinema has beheld a noteworthy makeover in the way women are represented through movies. Contemporary movies represent women as more self-governing, convinced, and career focused. Present article discusses with these rapid shifting paradigms of women represented in Bollywood and its impact on the patriarchal Indian society with a spotlight on some representative Bollywood movies. The endeavour is to connect the shifting character performed by women in movies with the promising position of women in India, as movies are a mirror image of modification in the social arrangement. Key words: Bollywood, India, Shifting, Paradigms, Movies, Women Introduction: In the 73 years since Independence, Indian cinema has gone through a lot of modification considering a shift from classic mythological blockbusters to “Bollywoodised” remakes of Hollywood’s and Tollywood’s successful films.
