  • Banal Dreams
    Banal Dreams Bombay Dreams is a hodge-podge of clichéd, uninspiring lines meshed together to punctuate one dance number from the next. Shekhar Deshpande Broadway is that great New York institution. Like everything else, and unlike Disney World, it is a mixed bag. There are some shows and some theater. The shows are nothing but a tourist attraction. It is a thing to do along with an expensive meal, a trip around town, preferably with a date of your choice and often a ritual with someone who needs to be courted for one reason or another. Theater on the other hand, such as it is in the age of mass produced media, is a rare and small art form that thrives in some corners. Theater is self-conscious; Broadway shows are not. The latter are a shameless exercise in showmanship. But some people like it. It is hard to figure out the reaction of the audience to Bombay Dreams. They seem to be responsive, mostly people of European origins. They were laughing, clapping and generally quite engaged with the production. So when one writes about Bombay Dreams, this becomes an essential ingredient. Perhaps Bombay Dreams, that celebrated production that arrived here from the U.K. with inspiration and guidance from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Shekhar Kapoor, serves the needs of tourists. It offers a good example of the kind of showmanship they expect, an exotic stop on their tourist route and perhaps a palatable taste of what we have come to call Bollywood. Bombay Dreams begins with an invocation of the magic of Bollywood.

  • Bombay Dreams2
    Bombay Dreams Judith van Praag Mark your calendars for Bollywood is coming to town! Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre is the final stop on the National Tour of "Bombay Dreams". Entranced by the allure of Bollywood movies and the music of celebrated Indian composer A.R. Rahman (The Lord of the Rings: The Musical) filmmaker Shekhar Kapur and Andrew Lloyd Webber came up with the idea of a Bolllywood based musical. Bollywood is the epicenter of the thriving South Asian film industry, India's answer to Hollywood. Bollywood films already show the elements of a musical: song and dance. But Bollywood films offer more than that; they are extravaganzas complete with comedy and daredevil thrills. The plots are usually melodramatic and frequently employ familiar story lines such as: star-crossed lovers, angry meddling parents, love triangles and conniving villains. "Bombay Dreams" tells the story of Akaash (Sachin Bhatt – known for The Asian/European tour of West Side Story, Aida at the Gateway Playhouse), a handsome young tour guide from the slums of Bombay who dreams of becoming the next Bollywood star, the object of his desire Priya (Reshma Shetty – known for West Side Story, La Boheme, Don Giovanni) and all the complications that arise when Akaash faces fame, fortune, and the obligations to his family, friends and Paradise slum. The plot includes frequent reference to the city's change of name from Bombay to Mumbai, as well as the accompanying identity issues. This musical journey within "Bombay Dreams" is an exploration of the importance of cultural heritage, the price of success, the bonds of friendship and the power of true love.

  • Yash Chopra the Legend
    YASH CHOPRA THE LEGEND Visionary. Director. Producer. Legendary Dream Merchant of Indian Cinema. And a trailblazer who paved the way for the Indian entertainment industry. 1932 - 2012 Genre defining director, star-maker and a studio mogul, Yash Chopra has been instrumental in shaping the symbolism of mainstream Hindi cinema across the globe. Popularly known as the ‘King of Romance’ for his string of hit romantic films spanning over a five-decade career, he redefined drama and romance onscreen. Born on 27 September 1932, Yash Chopra's journey began from the lush green fields of Punjab, which kept reappearing in his films in all their splendour. © Yash Raj Films Pvt. Ltd. 1 www.yashrajfilms.com Yash Chopra started out as an assistant to his brother, B. R. Chopra, and went on to direct 5 very successful films for his brother’s banner - B. R. Films, each of which proved to be a significant milestone in his development as a world class director of blockbusters. These were DHOOL KA PHOOL (1959), DHARMPUTRA (1961), WAQT (1965) - India’s first true multi-starrer generational family drama, ITTEFAQ (1969) & AADMI AUR INSAAN (1969). He has wielded the baton additionally for 4 films made by other film companies - JOSHILA (1973), DEEWAAR (1975), TRISHUL (1978) & PARAMPARA (1993). But his greatest repertoire of work were the 50 plus films made under the banner that he launched - the banner that stands for the best of Hindi cinema - YRF. Out of these films, he directed 13 himself and these films have defined much of the language of Hindi films as we know them today.

  • Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
    Om Sri Sai Ram BHAGAVAT GITA VAHINI By Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Greetings Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the Sanathana Sarathi, the timeless charioteer, who communicated the Geetha Sastra to Adithya and helped Manu and king Ikshwaku to know it; He was the charioteer of Arjuna during the great battle between good and evil fought out at Kurukshetra. When the rider, Arjuna, was overcome with grief at the prospect of the fight, Krishna instructed him in the science of recognising one's oneness with all, and removed the grief and the fear. He is the charioteer even now, for every one of us; let me greet you as a fellow-sufferer and a fellow-disciple. We have but to recognise Him and accept Him in that role, holding the reins of discrimination and flourishing the whip of detachment, to direct the horses of the senses along the path of Sathya, asphalted by Dharma and illumined by Prema towards the goal of Shanthi. Arjuna accepted Him in that role; let us do likewise. When worldly attachment hinders the path of duty, when ambition blinds the eyes of sympathy, when hate shuts out the call of love, let us listen to the Geetha. He teaches us from the chariot whereon He is installed. Then He showers His grace, His vision and His power, and we are made heroes fit to fight and win. This precious book is not a commentary or summary of the Geetha that was taught on the field of Kurukshetra. We need not learn any new language or read any old text to imbibe the lesson that the Lord is eager to teach us now, for victory in the battle we are now waging.

  • Use and Abuse of Female Body in Popular Hindi Films: a Semiotic Analysis of Item Songs
    Use and Abuse of Female Body in Popular Hindi Films: A Semiotic analysis of Item Songs *Dr. G. K. Sahu Assistant Professor Dept. of Mass Communication Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh- 202002 & **Sana Abbas Research Scholar Dept. of Mass Communication Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh-202002 India Abstract The item songs have become an important element of Bollywood movies. Women are featured as a commodity, only to satisfy male urge and their bodies are featured in a way as if they are meant for male consumption. In an environment where a plethora of movies are releasing every year, putting a peppy item song in a movie, is a good trick to gain the attention of viewers . Brazen lyrics are used to enhance the popularity of these songs. Many established film makers in the industry are using this trick to gain huge financial returns. They are attracting and engaging audiences by using as well as abusing female body in their films. The paper makes an attempt to analyze the item songs by employing semiotic method to examine the use and abuse of female body in Hindi films. Key Words: Hindi Films, Item Songs, Female Body, Use & Abuse, Portrayal, Commoditization. www.ijellh.com 14 Introduction Cinema and dance have had a long history of engagement. Cinema enlisted dance from its very beginnings – the spectacular display of movement. The shared investment in movement ensured a spontaneous intermediality (transgression of boundaries) between early cinema and dance. Songs with dance have always played a crucial role in Hindi movies. The role of song and its demand changed with the entry of „item songs‟.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Life is struggle, sacrifice, and worthy. On the other side, the people say that life means study or effort. People must struggle their right and obligation too. The struggling, sacrificing, and affording are one of requisites for acquiring their appreciations, dreams, and aims. The appreciation is the last destination that is brought into reality by the people. So everyone needs appreciation in their life. The appreciation is like a dream, goal or destination. It is a soul in proving something done by people. Appreciation can give the spirit and energy for someone in reaching their aim in their life. Many people that have acquired appreciation, they would be proud and satisfy both for themselves and another people in surrounding. However, sometimes the people have wrong ways to prove their appreciations. Appreciation need includes self actualization of human needs. Self actualization is one fundamental need in humanistic psychological theory. This need is part of hierarchy need in humanistic psychological theory. Humanistic psychology views humans as active creature with freedom. Abraham Maslow had explained the humanistic analysis in the psychological theory. The theory of Maslow is the hierarchy of needs that are the 1 2 psychological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs and esteem needs. The four points above is the deficient needs or the basic needs. Maslow next had explained the growth needs as a motivation of human. The growth needs include self actualization (Clearer perception of reality, Acceptance of self, Other and nature, Spontaneity, Problem-centering, Detachment and the need for solitude, Autonomy, Independent of culture and environment, Continued fresher of appreciation, The mystic experience, the oceanic feeling, Oneness with humanity, Deep interpersonal relations, Democratic character structure, Ethical means towards moral ands, Philosophical, Creativeness).

  • Hindu-Muslim Relationship in Bollywood in Post 26/11: a Content Analysis of Movies (2008-2018) Maziar Mozaffari Falarti,1 Hamideh Molaei,2 Asra Karim3
    Hindu-Muslim Relationship in Bollywood in post 26/11: A Content Analysis of Movies (2008-2018) Maziar Mozaffari Falarti,1 Hamideh Molaei,2 Asra Karim3 1. Assistant Professor of South, East Asia and Oceania Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran (Corresponding author) ([email protected]) 2. Assistant Professor of South, East Asia and Oceania Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ([email protected]) 3. M. A. in Indian Studies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ([email protected]) (Received: Jan. 2, 2019 Revised: Feb. 28, 2019 Accepted: Ma r. 28, 2019) Abstract This study investigates the representations of Hindu-Muslim relationship in Bollywood movies from 2008 to 2018. It is assumed that after 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, which are known as 26/11, conflicts between Hindus and Muslims have escalated. Since Indian people are extreme fans of movies, especially Bollywood movies, in this regard, it is expected that media could play a significant role in increasing or alleviating the conflicts by influencing people’s attitudes and opinions. This research seeks to examine the extent and modality of the representation of Hindu-Muslim relationships in Bollywood after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The study was conducted through a content analysis of 11 Bollywood movies, which were selected from 70 Muslim-characters-based movies. Favorable, unfavorable, neutral and unclear were the four factors through which the movies’ contents were analyzed.

These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.
