  • When Nature Plays a Trick on You and You Are Considered A
    1 1 WAS BORN rtaki travels down memory lane, long into her childhood. The most vivid memory she has, is a recurring one and has stayed with her to date. She remembers the misty dawn in the mildly cold winter month of Margazhi, spanning the second half of December and the first of January which is probably the most pleasant in the otherwise hot south. This is the season of fasts and prayers - espe- cially by young maidens waiting for the knight in shining armour. The silence of the wee dark hours is broken by the melo- dious singing of the Thevaram, When nature plays a trick on Thiruvasakam, Thiruppavai, you and you are considered a Thiruvenbavai (centuries-old hymns composed by the great Tamil saints) by gender freak, there is not groups of young ladies and girls to the I much choice but to draw accompaniment of cymbals. And some- from your inner strength where, snug inside a warm blanket, Nartaki remembers a pair of tiny feet that •Ip to make a life for kept perfect time to the mesmerising • yourself, That is what, rhythm outside. f Nartaki, born with the Nartaki recollects, "This is the earliest anatomy of a man but the memory I have of my introduction to the world of music and rhythm - the tap-tap- heart, soul and mind of a ping of my feet, the first steps of my woman, did. Here she dance while my eyes were still half narrates to Annam Suresh, her asleep. I was barely four years old then." touching tale of pain, struggle Not incredible at all.

  • Tracing the Evolution of Womanhood Into Selfhood in Select Contemporary Films
    TRACING THE EVOLUTION OF WOMANHOOD INTO SELFHOOD IN SELECT CONTEMPORARY FILMS VIDHYA VIJAYAN Research Scholar Department of English M G University, Kottayam, Kerala INDIA Film, the most popular media, has a tremendous impact to carve out how individual can feel about a particular topic. Indian films portrayed women characters as doubly marginalized creatures. In earlier times women were featured as a commodity only to satisfy male urge and their bodies were featured in a way as if they are meant for male consumption with some few exceptions. Now changes occur and women begin to play the role of central characters. The audiences also begin to perceive the makeover from the conventional girl to an iconoclastic woman. The present study focuses on three movies ‘Queen’ (Hindi), ‘How Old Are You?’ (Malayalam), and ‘Rani Padmini’ (Malayalam) with giving due emphasis on how the women characters are transformed or how they are emancipated in this patriarchal world. Three films mentioned here are highly inspirational and motivational story of women’s empowerment. Keywords- commodity, iconoclastic woman, emancipation, empowerment INTRODUCTION Film and social reality do feed one another. Film has a tremendous impact to carve out how individual can feel about a particular topic. Indian films portray women characters as stereotypes. It is a double emphasized statement that women are often subjugated in every field and they are doubly marginalized. Films, the recently flourished scenario, also emphasize the same. In the olden days women have been relegated to the passive position in film after film. She merely becomes an adjunct to the man, the wielder of power.

    vida parayum munbe malayalam movie torrent download 6 Movies Of John Paul Which Prove That He Is A Master Writer! We recently heard that renowned scriptwriter John Paul is making a comeback to films with Major Ravi's upcoming film which would have Mohanlal in the lead role. John Paul, is one of the most versatile scriptwriters in the industry and his comeback is indeed a good sign for Malayalam cinema. Here, we list some of the best works of John Paul, so far. Chamaram (1980) Chamaram directed by Bharathan had the script written by John Paul. The film went on to become a trendsetter, by narrating the story of an affair between a student and a lecturer. This was a path- breaking movie and won great applause. Yathra (1985) This definitely has to be one of the finest works of John Paul, so far. Yathra was a path-breaking movie and the film directed by Balu Mahendra gave Mammootty one of his finest roles in his initial days of film career. The film won both critical and commercial success. Palangal (1981) Palangal , which is best remembered for the amazing craftsmanship of director Bharathan, was written by John Paul. His amazing sense of characterisations can be noted through this movie. Oru Minnaaminunginte Nurunguvettam (1987) John Paul yet gain showed his mastery by scripting the heart-wrenching tale of an aged couple. This film directed by Bharathan went on win two Kerala State Film Awards. Vida Parayum Munpe (1981) This film is considered to be one of the best movies of Prem Nazir.

    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 21 (2017) Item Girls and Objects of Dreams: Why Indian Censors Agree to Bold Scenes in Bollywood Films Tatiana Szurlej The article presents the social background, which helped Bollywood film industry to develop the so-called “item numbers”, replace them by “dream sequences”, and come back to the “item number” formula again. The songs performed by the film vamp or the character, who takes no part in the story, the musical interludes, which replaced the first way to show on the screen all elements which are theoretically banned, and the guest appearances of film stars on the screen are a very clever ways to fight all the prohibitions imposed by Indian censors. Censors found that film censorship was necessary, because the film as a medium is much more popular than literature or theater, and therefore has an impact on all people. Indeed, the viewers perceive the screen story as the world around them, so it becomes easy for them to accept the screen reality and move it to everyday life. That’s why the movie, despite the fact that even the very process of its creation is much more conventional than, for example, the theater performance, seems to be much more “real” to the audience than any story shown on the stage. Therefore, despite the fact that one of the most dangerous elements on which Indian censorship seems to be extremely sensitive is eroticism, this is also the most desired part of cinema. Moreover, filmmakers, who are tightly constrained, need at the same time to provide pleasure to the audience to get the invested money back, so they invented various tricks by which they manage to bypass censorship.

    S.B.ABARNA. International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 10, Issue 6, (Series-VI) June 2020, pp. 01-03 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Bharathanatyam Dancers in Olden Day Cinema S.B.ABARNA1, Dr. SUJATHA MOHAN2 1Research Scholar Department of music and fine arts,Vels University Vistas, Chennai-600117 2RESEARCH GUIDE: Department of music and fine arts,Vels University, Vistas,Chennai-60017 ABSTRACT: Bharathanatyam is the dance form practiced in Tamil Nadu. A reference to dance in Tamil texts goes back about2000 year ago to the period of sangam literature. Bharathanatyam was earlier performed by the Devadasis and Rajadasis, who performed in the temple and court respectively. Tanjorequartets who were supported by Maratha king, crafted the repertoire known as Margam.
