    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.

    Most-subscribed STREAMING KINGS channels WHAT INDIA WAS WATCHING IN 2012 Korean pop star PSY became a worldwide phenomenon this year thanks to his Gangnam Style video going viral online. Last year, Kolaveri Di had become a national obsession — it spawned several clones in multiple languages — right through this year. Both videos can thank YouTube for raising them to cult status. This year, the video streaming website has come out with what the country has been watching in 2012. Did you know, for example, that YoYo Honey Singh’s ‘Brown Rang’ was the top trending YouTube video this year, followed by ‘Gangnam Style’, beating ‘Mashallah’ from Ek Tha Tiger, which took the third spot? Of course, except for the top two videos, the rest were all songs from Bollywood films. No surprise then that T-Series was the most-subscribed channel. TV soap Bade Acche Lagte 1 T-Series Hai was the most watched TV show, indicating that either the soap or YouTube has transcended age barriers. 2 Setindia And, it came as no surprise that Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan’s was the most-watched trailer 3 YRF (Yash Raj Films) 4 Erosentertainment Top-trending YouTube 5 Rajshri videos in India (playlist) 6 TeluguOne 1 Brown Rang full song HD 7 SonymusicindiaSME International Villager (Yo Yo Honey Singh) 8 MTV Roadies 2 Gangnam Style: Music video (PSY) 9 Olympic (Official channel) 3 Mashallah: Song - Ek Tha Tiger (Salman 10MaaTV Khan & Katrina Kaif) 4 High Heels official video Most-watched Jaz Dhami Ft (Yo Yo Honey Singh) TV Shows 5 Tumhi Ho Bandhu: Song promo
