World Movies Introduces UTV World Movies brings to you the ace Cinematographer “Anil Mehta” and his preferred movies In 50 Movies to see before you die in November Mumbai, 18 November, 2009: In its constant endeavor to deliver the best and the unique, UTV World Movies leaves no stone unturned to introduce its audience to a legendary Indian director. Now UTV World Movies has started including major talent like veteran cinematographers/ writers etc from the film fraternity every month in 50 movies to see before you die. To live up to its promise, the channel brings to you Anil Mehta, cinematographer turned director. UTV World Movies gives you this splendid opportunity to view four of Mehta’s favorite international movies every Thursday at 8.30 pm. A prominent cinematographer, writer and director of Bollywood movies, Anil Mehta studied cinematography at the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. He has shot smash hit films like Lagaan, Saathiya, Veer-Zaara and the recently launched Wake up Sid. His directorial debut film Aaja Nachle was released on November 2007 which also marked the comeback of the evergreen Madhuri Dixit. Anil Mehta won the National Film Award for Best Cinematography for his work in the internationally famous film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Talking about the films that he has selected Anil Mehta said, “I feel that utv movies is doing a great job of bringing quality international cinema to Indian audiences. For a nation so used to ‘staple diet’ on television, utv world movies is like ‘fine dining’. The films that are on my short list are both entertaining and serious. A combination that makes for compulsive viewing. From Luc besson the stylist to Aki Kaurismaki the somber ponderer lies a wide arc of cinema that should be on the ‘must see’ list of any cinephile. For me as a practicing professional, viewing the widest cross section of cinema, is vital and enriching” Manasi Sapre, Programming Head, UTV World Movies, said “Apart from being the unparalleled cinematographer in the Bollywood industry, Anil Mehta is also a promising director. It’s a proud moment for UTV World Movies when a veteran like him shares his views on world cinema on our channel.” Acclaimed as one of Kaurismaki's most accomplished early films, “Ariel” follows the exploits of the laconic Taisto, a newly-unemployed Lapland miner who sets off in a Cadillac convertible for a fresh start in Helsinki. Taitso's plans take a series of unexpected turns in this dryly comic and satirical mélange of road movie and film noir. “Subway” was the film that brought fame and international notoriety to french film director Luc Besson. It is a stunning cinematographic experience which offers a grueling visual feast which hooks the spectator from the start. This is a film which tackles conventional films from a most unconventional perspective. “Inju” is a very extreme and vicious kind of thriller. It's a rivalry between two writers. Handsomely shot in black and white, "I Always Wanted to Be a Gangster" is a pleasant four-chapter reverie on modest but failed aspirations and unlikely contentment. So tune in to 50 Movies to see before you die, to watch some incredible films, every Thursday at 8.30 pm About UTV World Movies An initiative of the UTV Network, UTV World Movies is India’s first and leading world cinema channel comprising films from around the world that are contemporary, glamorous, award winning & entertaining box-office hits. In addition to showcasing a classic mix of foreign films, the channel is also actively involved in promoting the World Cinema genre through ground activities and screenings through tie ups with various international cultural groups.

  • Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
    Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

  • Responses to 100 Best Acts Post-2009-10-11 (For Reference)
    Bobbytalkscinema.Com Responses/ Comments on “100 Best Performances of Hindi Cinema” in the year 2009-10-11. submitted on 13 October 2009 bollywooddeewana bollywooddeewana.blogspot.com/ I can't help but feel you left out some important people, how about Manoj Kumar in Upkar or Shaheed (i haven't seen that) but he always made strong nationalistic movies rather than Sunny in Deol in Damini Meenakshi Sheshadri's performance in that film was great too, such a pity she didn't even earn a filmfare nomination for her performance, its said to be the reason on why she quit acting Also you left out Shammi Kappor (Junglee, Teesri MANZIL ETC), shammi oozed total energy and is one of my favourite actors from 60's bollywood Rati Agnihotri in Ek duuje ke Liye Mala Sinha in Aankhen Suchitra Sen in Aandhi Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi Ashok Kumar in Mahal Mumtaz in Khilona Reena Roy in Nagin/aasha Sharmila in Aradhana Rajendra Kuamr in Kanoon Time wouldn't permit me to list all the other memorable ones, which is why i can never make a list like this bobbysing submitted on 13 October 2009 Hi, As I mentioned in my post, you are right that I may have missed out many important acts. And yes, I admit that out of the many names mentioned, some of them surely deserve a place among the best. So I have made some changes in the list as per your valuable suggestion. Manoj Kumar in Shaheed (Now Inlcuded in the Main 100) Meenakshi Sheshadri in Damini (Now Included in the Main 100) Shammi Kapoor in Teesri Manzil (Now Included in the Main 100) Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sharmila Togore in Aradhana (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sunny Deol in Damini (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Mehmood in Pyar Kiye Ja (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Nagarjun in Shiva (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) I hope you will approve the changes made as per your suggestions.

  • Cinema and Tourism
    © 2018 JETIR May 2018, Volume 5, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Cinema and Tourism Dr. Gunjan Malik Assistant Professor IHTM, MDU Abstract: Films play an eloquent role in customers’ decision making regarding choice of clothes, fashion, food and also the destination they want to travel. It has been proved by previous studies that when films are shot in a destination it boosts tourism. Government also offers various initiatives to promote film shooting so that tourism can be encashed. In this paper with the help of secondary data the status of film tourism has been identified in India as well as international destinations. The study found that films give a boost to tourism and various international destinations have been trying to woo Indian film makers to shoot at their locations. Even the ministry of tourism, government of India also gives incentives to filmmakers in order to promote film tourism. Keywords: film tourism, cinema, tourism, movies. Introduction Bollywood is a cardinal part of Indian society and has a considerable impact on the members of society. Cinema is one of the significant communication tools for conveying social values, social evils, corruption, sexual exploitation, historical events, drama or even tourism. Anything or everything can be communicated effectively to the society with the help of films or cinema. India, Brazil and China are the emerging travel and tourism markets and they are expected to supersede even the developed markets because of the development in infrastructure and increase in the disposable incomes. Placing or showcasing destinations in movies which helps in increasing tourism of that particular place is known as film tourism.

  • ANS 372 Bollywood & Society © Gautami Shah Unique # 32274 Note
    ANS 372 Bollywood & Society © gautami shah Unique # 32274 Note: Since this course is a repeatable course, in order to factor the background of the participants in the course, the full syllabus for the course shall be uploaded only after the first week of classes. This document is only reflective of the first two classes and course requirements in terms of work load and grading policy and other class policies. ! Spring 2020 gautami shah (she/her/hers) Topic Title: Bollywood: Shaker, Maker or Breaker of Society? FLAG: This course carries the Global Cultures Flag. Course Description: This course explores the dual role of Bollywood in society, viz., that as an agent of social change on the one hand, and as a mirror of social reality on the other. By examining the representations of South Asian society in Bollywood over the years, as well as the influence of Bollywood cinema on society at various points in South Asian history, this course begs us to critically reevaluate the role of cinema and popular culture as mere entertainment in society. Topics explored will include the relationship between Hindi cinema and the concept of “nation”; notions and representations of “self” and “other”Hindi cinema and representations, roles and perceptions of gender; Hindi cinema and the diaspora; notions of tradition and modernity; centers and margins of society; the role of caste, religion and class in shaping HIndi cinema and vice-versa. Students who have had no prior experience with South Asian literature and cinema will get an exposure to a new world-view. Students who have already been exposed to South Asian literature and cinema will find and articulate new ways of approaching and interpreting the material.

  • Friction Between Cultural Representation and Visual Representation with Reference to Padmaavat
    postScriptum: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Literary Studies 1 postScriptum: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Literary Studies ISSN: 2456-7507 <postscriptum.co.in> Online – Open Access – Peer Reviewed – DOAJ Indexed Volume V Number i (January 2020) Friction between Cultural Representation and Visual Representation with Reference to Padmaavat Mita Bandyopadhyay Research Scholar, Dept. of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur & Arindam Modak Associate Professor, Dept. of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur Abstract According to the Cultural theorist, Stuart Hall, images of objects do not have meaning in themselves. Meaning is generated according to the contextual fixation between the user and the representational significance of that object. The representative meaning of the object when shared by a group of people becomes a cultural practice. It has been observed that when the same cultural practice is represented further in the visual media, in the form of cinema, a conflict arises between the cultural representation of the image and its visual representation. Padmaavat (2018), a film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, went through several oppositions by the different classes of the society across the country, owing to the portrayal of different characters and the social background of the movie. The social discontent created by people revolved around a number of issues: the main issue being a different representation of Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji in the movie, in contrast to the way they are represented and accepted in the popular culture. By using Stuart Hall’s conceptual idea of ‘representation’ in cultural practices, an attempt has been taken to show how a friction is created when an ideology formed through the cultural representation is again represented through the visual media.

  • Patriarchy and Prejudice: Indian Women and Their Cinematic Representation
    International Journal of Languages, Literature and Linguistics, Vol. 3, No. 3, September 2017 Patriarchy and Prejudice: Indian Women and Their Cinematic Representation Abina Habib social and cultural roles, which carry into the mainstream Abstract—Nurtured by Indian culture and history women’s film industry and they end up being cast in similar roles. role in commercial Indian films is that of a stereotypical woman, Inspired by ‘Manusmriti’- an age old Dharmashastra written from the passive wife of Dadasaheb Phalke’s Raja by Manu for followers of Hindu faith – a female actor is Harishchandra’ (1913) to the long-suffering but heroic mother-figure of Mother India (1957) to the liberated Kangana never allowed to transgresses the scriptural paradigm that Ranaut of Queen (2014), it has been a rather long and mediates women's role as always in obedience and servitude challenging journey for women in Hindi cinema. Although this to man, like Sita – the scriptural paradigm of femininity. The role has been largely redefined by the Indian woman and beginning of the woman's acting career seems to be governed reclaimed from the willfully suffering, angelic albeit voiceless by social norms and they mostly ended up playing the roles of female actor, the evolution is still incomplete. Culture and tradition mean different things for different women, but there is a daughter, taking care of her siblings, helping the mother in always the historical context of what it entails in the form of the kitchen, and marrying the man of her father's choice, ownership. What this paper seeks to unravel is what being a another typical role assigned to women is that of a great woman means in Indian cinema.
