Bhanu Athaiya crafted the special layered Seyeliner and her various other attires had stunned many sari drape that became famous as the Mumtaz sari. I remember in those days. From her body-hugging suits and curvy dresses my knotted blouses in Waqt, which had made me feel quite to her daring bikini act in An Evening in Paris, every style gawkish then, but now I realise that they translated into wearable of hers became a fashion statement. And, even today, her trends. Certain looks and clothes have remained over the years elegant chiffon saris, and her easy yet classic style make her a and people have remembered that.” trendsetter for the woman of her age and era. The elegant lady recalls how before every scene in the film, While she was a fashion icon in the ’60s and the ’70s, she the costume designer, the director and the actress discussed believes times have changed drastically and that films and fashion what to wear and she insists that a lot of inspiration came have come too close to each other. “Bollywood was performance- from Hollywood. “When it came to the western outfits that I oriented and not just about fashion statements,” she says, adding, wore in films like An Evening in Paris, there was actually a “Cinema has always been a defining factor for the fashion sense lot of creativity. I wore all kinds of clothes in the film, like the of the common man. During the era of black and white films, cabaret costume, apsara costume, et al. In fact, at times, when there were only a handful of designers, including Bhanu Athaiya, film budgets were really tight and the producer couldn’t afford Leena Daru and others. Gradually, with the advent of colour, a designer, the actresses had to wear their own clothes,” she fashion reached a different level. Indian clothes were mainly in says of the good old days. BY DIVYA J SHEKHAR The Uncommon hen Sachin Tendulkar retired a few months ago, the entire nation—awestruck and tearful—bid him W a grand adieu. As India hailed a legend, I was busy preparing myself for a story about another. A few days later, at the appointed time, I enter Girish Karnad’s quaint home in Bengaluru. The conversation takes me back to three words that flashed across the scoreboard after Sachin’s swan song— ‘Legends Never Retire’. So, when the septuagenarian tells me that his theatre and films remain alive even after his retirement, I know exactly what he’s talking about. Karnad says he’s fortunate to be one among the first Society discovers generation of playwrights of the post-Independence period. the person behind His plays and films alike have been enjoyed by people for their novelty, and a healthy mix of myth, realism, entertainment the personality and education. But, when it comes to Karnad as a person, of the legendary people have a plethora of opinions. Some consider him to be a versatile genius, some feel he’s stoic and some even think he’s Girish Karnad arrogant (especially after his infamous comments criticising author VS Naipaul and Rabindranath Tagore). But, for people who have worked with him and have known him personally, he is a patient, strict disciplinarian, who respects his work and those who work with or for him. Even as I speak to him, he comes across as a shrewd man who is fiercely confident of his opinions, knows his job and expects you to know yours. As filmmaker and cinematographer Rajiv Menon (who has directed Karnad in his debut film, Minsara Kanavu, and has been the cinematographer for Karnad’s film, Cheluvi) puts it, “People know him (Karnad) as Celebrating It would perhaps be a little too late in the day to actually ask the Razzies to move over and make way for its Indian versions, for the Ghanta and the Golden Kela Awards have been having a successful run for years now. So, what are they really all about?.

Bibek Debroy∗ Culture is difficult to define. This is more so in a large and heterogeneous country like India, where there is no common language and religion. There are sub-cultures within the country. Joseph Nye’s ‘soft power’ expression draws on a country’s cross-border cultural influences and is one enunciated with the American context in mind. Almost tautologically, soft power implies the existence of a relatively large country and the term is, therefore, now also being used for China and India. In the Indian case, most instances of practice of soft power are linked to language and literature (including Indians writing in English), music, dance, cuisine, fashion, entertainment and even sport, and there is no denying that this kind of cross-border influence has been increasing over time, with some trigger provided by the diaspora. The film and television industry’s influence is no less important. In the last few years, India has produced the largest number of feature films in the world, with 1,164 films produced in 2007. The United States came second with 453, Japan third with 407 and China fourth with 402. Ticket sales are higher for Bollywood than for Hollywood, though revenue figures are much higher for the latter. Indian film production is usually equated with Hindi-language Bollywood, often described as the largest film-producing centre in the world.

In January 2013, Debashree Mukherjee curated an exhibition of Hindi film memorabilia titled ‘Maya Mahal’, which featured artefacts from the private collection of Priya Paul, Chairperson of Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels. In this essay, Mukherjee uses examples from the collection to point to hidden histories of work and practice, and to give us a fragmented view of low-budget films, lost genres and the wage-workers who mark each film with their individual skills.

  • Study on Denim As a Fashion Inspiration in Bollywood
    © 2018 JETIR June 2018, Volume 5, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) STUDY ON DENIM AS A FASHION INSPIRATION IN BOLLYWOOD 1Rubina Mittal, 2Bharat Jain, 3Dr. Dolly Mogra 1Research Scholar ,Pacific university, Udaipur 2Research Scholar ,Pacific university, Udaipur 3Asst.Prof.,(incharge), Department of Readymade Garments, University College Of Social Sciences And Humanities, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur,Rajasthan ABSTRACT-Fashion is ever evolving and that is the most beautiful aspect of it. Fashion fills the colour otherwise life is black and white. Bollywood has a similar effect and it goes hand-in hand with fashion. In India, Bollywood is the trendsetter in fashion even more than the runways or bridal shows. From 1970’s to the present decade, fashion has evolved tremendously in the Indian film industry. Bollywood and fashion always had a vital relation, They have always influenced each other. In India, fashion often takes its cues from cinema. Indian Bollywood fashion in the 1970s underwent many changes in dressing, both for men and women, colors, styles, hairdos – everything evolved. Several popular Hindi films from the 1970’s used denim as more or less prominent appearance were typically signifiers of characters exploring new forms of identity. It is perhaps not entirely coincidental that denim came into Bollywood film just as the major tropes and themes of mainstream film shifted towards a focus on subaltern subjects and the pursuit of justice, and away from romance. The consumerism in the 1980s and 1990s opened Indians to the idea of wearing readymade denims, as it survived 2k & till present day denimization took over people’s wardrobe irrespective of gender & age.
