Expect a deafening applause when Singham stages an entry or when he gets into a war of words with the Swamiji or when he exchanges blows with his bare fists or when the officers march to Swamiji's office in the climax. However, there are loopholes you cannot overlook. Much like the first part [SINGHAM], the romantic scenes just don't cut ice and appear forced in the narrative. In fact, the story stagnates when the songs are incorporated to make the romance factor work. The film could've done with- Excelsior/Amin War out songs actually.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

    Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Gender Bias GENDER BIAS WITHOUTWithout BordersBORDERS An Investigation of Female Characters in Popular Films Across 11 Countries AN INVESTIGATION OF FEMALE CHARACTERS IN POPULAR FILMS ACROSS 11 COUNTRIES Dr. Stacy L. Smith, Marc Choueiti, & Dr. Katherine Pieper with assistance from Yu-Ting Liu & Christine Song Media, Diversity, & Social Change Initiative University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism 3502 Watt Way, Suite 223 Los Angeles, CA 90089 [email protected] confidential working document = do not cite, quote, or reference. SeeJane.org Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Page 2 Women the world over face stark disparities in health, finance, education, politics, and other arenas. Persistent gender inequality may threaten economic growth and/or social progress.1 At the most micro level, discrimination impedes girls and women from achieving their individual hopes and dreams. Through its Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations has championed an increase in equality for women and girls across different sectors by 2015.2 Despite a push to promote females worldwide, one example of where progress remains stagnant is the U.S. film industry. Research reveals that the percentage of female speaking characters in top-grossing movies has not meaningfully changed in roughly a half of a century.3 Further, women are often stereotyped and sexualized when they are depicted in popular content. Occupationally, our previous research shows that few women hold positions of power and importance on screen. While Hollywood is quick to capitalize on new audiences and opportunities abroad, the industry is slow to progress in creating compelling and complex roles for females.

  • Lakonan Ajay Devgan Dan Kareena Kapoor Pada 27 Julai Ini Di TV2
    Ruj : RTM(BPR)/SM/JLD.1 (186) Filem “Singham Returns” Lakonan Ajay Devgan dan Kareena Kapoor pada 27 Julai Ini di TV2 KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Julai 2016 – Watak utama Bajirao Singham kembali semula Mumbai sebagai Timbalan Pesuruhjaya Polis. Konflik bermula apabila Singham cuba menjejaki kuasa-kuasa gelap yang terlibat dalam kes rasuah melibatkan nama-nama besar dalam sistem politik di India. Dalam menangani isu ini, Singham terpaksa menempuhi pelbagai halangan dan dugaan demi menegakkan keadilan dan amanah yang dipikul. Ternyata jalan cerita dan lakonan yang diberikan oleh aktor Ajay Devgan sebagai DCP Bajirao Singham, Ketua Polis Kanan di Mumbai dalam filem kepolisian arahan Rohit Shetty bertajuk “Singham Returns” begitu menyerlah. Berbeza dengan imej polis-polis India dalam filem Hindustan sebelum ini, kali ini gambaran imej polis dibersihkan menerusi watak Singham yang berusaha membanteras masalah disiplin, rasuah, gangster dan sebagainya. Singham bangkit membanteras sistem politik dan perundangan di India yang digambarkan penuh dengan gejala rasuah, kuku besi, wang gelap dan hak kaum wanita diketepikan. Bergandingan dengan heroin Kareena Kapoor selain dibantu pelakon Dayanand Shetty, dan Anupam Kher, filem “Singham Returns” bakal menemui penonton Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) pada 27 Julai ini, pukul 10.00 malam di TV2. Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan) dipindahkan ke Mumbai dan mendapati bahawa salah seorang ahli pasukannya (Mahesh) ditemui mati dengan beg besar wang. Bajirao memutuskan untuk membongkar kebenaran tersembunyi. Dia bertembung dengan Satyaraj Chandar turut dikenali sebagai Babaji (Amole Gupte) yang mempunyai hubungan berprofil tinggi dengan ahli politik. Dalam tempoh tersebut, Guruji (Anupam Kher), dibunuh oleh Babaji, walaupun Singham hadir di tempat kejadian. Dia berjanji membalas dendam.
