  • 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.

  • Indian Woman's Search for Identity Vis a Vis Mainstream Bollywood
    Indian Woman’s Search for Identity Vis A Vis Mainstream Bollywood Cinema Michelle Philip, Wilson College, India The European Conference on Film & Documentary 2014 Official Conference Proceedings iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org The search for a purpose in our lives, for an identity which will help us better understand the purpose of our existence has bothered Man for centuries since perhaps the Renaissance. Woman being the Second Sex, the Double oppressed has had things a lot harder than her male counterpart. Filmic representations, either positive or negative, in shaping the Indian woman’s psyche: the voices of these women, their bodies and the spaces they occupy is the subject of this exploration. Replacing the storyteller of yore, movies form the myths we tell ourselves as a culture to, ‘banish contradictions and make the world understandable and therefore more habitable.’ (Claude Levi Strauss). The potential of film as propaganda was recognised as far back as the First World War when it was used to manipulate the masses. In disagreeing with Munni Kabir’s claim that audiences, ‘know that films are not real life’, a film’s potential to interpellate to use an Althusserian term, the individual in subtle ways, forcing him/her to take a certain ‘subject stance’ as a person who has certain values and views, usually reiterating the interests of the ruling class or, in the case of women, reiterating the Patriarchal mind-set, cannot be overlooked. Cinema being the cheapest form of entertainment, viewership is assured, the films acceptance being perhaps, ‘the most visible way in which we stage and perform the drama of self- formation.’ (John Storey, Popular Culture as the Roots and Routes of Cultural Identities) Boys and girls, men and women, emulate their favourite stars-be it hairdos, fashion trends or behaviour.

  • Recycle Industry: the Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences Now Want New Stories
    Recycle Industry: The Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences now want new stories. The problem is Bollywood has no tradition of producing original screenplays" —Chander Lall, lawyer “The brain is a recycling bin, not a creative bin. What goes in comes out in different ways” —Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker and producer hus spoke filmmaker and producer Mahesh Bhatt when Mr. Chander Lall, the legal representative of two of Hollywood's major studios issued “warning Tletters” to film producers in Bombay who were poised to “indianize” a series of Hollywood films.1 While Lall referred to Bollywood’s widespread practice of making uncredited remakes of Hollywood films as “tradition,” Bhatt defiantly saw these remakes as a symptom of a larger mechanism of recycling material. In fact, the influence of other cinemas on Bombay films was reflected narratively and in other aspects of filmmaking such as fashion, poster art etc. Thus, at the center of this debate was the issue of Bombay cinema's identity as a bastardized clone of Hollywood and the counter argument that noted the distinctiveness of Bombay film culture by highlighting the “difference” in the manner of production. In view of these unacknowledged networks of exchange, the term “remake” was often used within popular discourse as an underhanded accusation of plagiarism against Bombay films. Moreover, because most of Bombay cinema’s remakes of Hollywood films were un-credited, they never secured the legitimacy attained in Hollywood and world cinemas wherein this process was seen as a reinterpretation of an earlier work or an updated modus operandi.
