  • Ajeeb Aadmi—An Introduction Ismat Chughtai, Sa'adat Hasan Manto
    Ajeeb Aadmi—An Introduction I , Sa‘adat Hasan Manto, Krishan Chandar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Kaifi Azmi, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Ali Sardar Jafri, Majaz, Meeraji, and Khawaja Ahmed Abbas. These are some of the names that come to mind when we think of the Progressive Writers’ Movement and modern Urdu literature. But how many people know that every one of these writers was also involved with the Bombay film indus- try and was closely associated with film directors, actors, singers and pro- ducers? Ismat Chughtai’s husband Shahid Latif was a director and he and Ismat Chughtai worked together in his lifetime. After Shahid’s death Ismat Chughtai continued the work alone. In all, she wrote scripts for twelve films, the most notable among them ◊iddµ, Buzdil, Sån® kµ ≤µ∞y≥, and Garm Hav≥. She also acted in Shyam Benegal’s Jun∑n. Khawaja Ahmed Abbas made a name for himself as director and producer for his own films and also by writing scripts for some of Raj Kapoor’s best- known films. Manto, Krishan Chandar and Bedi also wrote scripts for the Bombay films, while all of the above-mentioned poets provided lyrics for some of the most alluring and enduring film songs ever to come out of India. In remembering Kaifi Azmi, Ranjit Hoskote says that the felicities of Urdu poetry and prose entered the consciousness of a vast, national audience through the medium of the popular Hindi cinema; for which masters of Urdu prose, such as Sadat [sic] Hasan Manto, wrote scripts, while many of the Progressives, Azmi included, provided lyrics.

  • 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.

    IRRFAN AND I Written by Vishal BhardwajTimes Delhi INT. MY HOME - DAY SUPER: 29TH APRIL 2020 It’s lockdown in Mumbai. I have been working from home for the past one month. The phone rings. It flashes M.P’s name on the screen. It gives me tremors. M.P is supposed to be my informer in Irrfan’s agency. I let the phone ring for a while and then take the call fearing the worst. A beat. M.P. He has started improving. Man, this guy is a hell of a fighter. Doctors are hopeful that he will bounce back. I take a deep breath and cut the line. LITTLE LATER I argue with Rekha for serving me less PANEER in last night’s dinner. I complain to her of being biased when it comes to choosing between me and Aasmaan. My phone beeps. I check my WhatsApp messenger (still bickering with Rekha). It’s a message from a friend from America. It reads - ‘Saddened to hear about Irrfan Khan’. I check my Twitter (Still squabbling fiercely with Rekha) to verify the authenticity of it. No news. I rule out the possibility. Times I bring myself to hear what Rekha is saying with tears in her eyes. REKHA What kind of pettiness is this? The phone rings again. It’s M.P once more. I pick it up hurriedly this time. There are sobs on the other side. A bomb explodesDelhi in my heart. CUT TO: EXT. ROAD TO GRAVEYARD - DAY Face masked with a N95 mask and hands covered with a pair of surgical gloves, I travel in my car on the deserted road leading to the Muslim cemetery.

    GAP GYAN A GLOBAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES ( ISSN – 2581-5830 ) Impact Factor – SJIF – 4.998, IIFS - 4.375 Globally peer-reviewed and open access journal. DEVI TO DIVA - A TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY PORTRAYING WOMEN IN MAINSTREAM BOLLYWOOD Prof. Ms. Shivani Ahluwalia Orora, Sinhgad College of Commerce, Mumbai Abstract Bollywood is a major influence on Indian culture. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India .Hindi cinema has influenced the way in which people recognize various aspects of their own lives. Hindi cinema is largely been about stereotypes. The characters, situations and plots have been largely based on stereotypical ideologies. The audience reads the characters based on how they look, dress and talk. Over the years Indian cinema has portrayed women being ‘ The Satti Savitri, The Abla Nari ,The Sanskari ,The Wamp, to The Item Girls ,The Trophies ,The Bold beautiful and empathetic to The Ridiculed Modern women. “The paper begins with how bollywood is instrumental in shaping the culture and how it sketches womanhood. It also undertakes some glimpses from popular films to analyze the process of typecasting. A section is dedicated to the discussion on modern realistic women. In conclusion, a debate ensues on whether the mainstream cinema has been successful in portraying Indian women of different shades in a society dominated by patriarchal values. Keywords: Bollywood, Culture, Modern India, Stereotype, Womanhood, Patriarchal values. INTRODUCTION Women’s participation, performance and portrayal in media are the three important dimensions of study for the social science researchers of modern time, especially for the feminists. Because for the empowerment and development of the women section, it is very important to give them proper environment where they can raise their voices against the inequalities and the gender-gap they are experiencing in our male dominated or patriarchal societies.
