  • Situating Right-Wing Interventions in the Bombay Film Industry
    Industry Status for Bombay Cinema On 10 May 1998, in an attempt to appease the restive clamour of the film world, industry status was granted to film by the Indian State under the aegis of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led-government, the political arm of the Hindu Right. This decision marked a watershed in the hitherto fraught relations that had existed between the State and Bombay cinema for over fifty years since Independence. Addressing a large gathering of film personalities at a national conference on ‘Challenges Before Indian Cinema’, organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry and the Film Federation of India, the Information & Broadcasting (I&B) Minister Sushma Swaraj announced that the ministry would place a proposal in Parliament that would include films in the concurrent list, 1 thereby bringing it within the purview of the central government (‘Industry Status Granted To Film Industry’, 1998). Industry status signified a dramatic shift in State policy towards Hindi cinema as an entertainment industry. Past governments had made empty promises to various industry delegations over the decades that exacerbated tensions between an indifferent and often draconian State and an increasingly anxious industry. So what prompted this decision that led to, ‘the changing relations between the Indian state and Bombay cinema in a global context’ (Mehta 2005: 135) and what was at stake for the right – wing government? And more importantly, what could be the possible implications of this new status on the industry? I hope to answer some of these questions by tracing the process of negotiation initiated from the early 1990s between the Hindu Right (primarily the BJP and the Shiv Sena) and Bombay film industry which, to some extent, may have anticipated the momentous decision of May 1998.

Thereafter, in early 16th century, a new element was introduced by Portuguese missionaries, who performed Yesu Mashiha Ka Tamasha, based on the life of Jesus Christ, using the Tamasha folk tradition of Maharashtra, which they imbibed during their work in Goa or Maharashtra.[1] Sanskrit drama was performed in temple and royal courts and temples of Gujarat, it didn't influence the local theatre tradition for the masses. The era of British Raj saw British officials inviting foreign operas and theatre groups to entertain them, this in turn inspired local Parsis to start their own travelling theatre groups, largely performed in Gujarati.[2] The first play published in Gujarati was Laxmi by Dalpatram in 1850, it was inspired by ancient Greek comedy Plutus by Aristophanes.[3] In the year 1852, a Parsi theatre group had performed a Shakespearean play in Gujarati language in the city of Surat. In 1853, Parsee Natak Mandali the first theatre group of Gujarati theatre was founded by Framjee Gustadjee Dalal, which staged the first Parsi-Gujarati play,Rustam Sohrab based on the tale of Rostam and Sohrab part of the 10th-century Persian epicShahnameh by Ferdowsi on 29 October 1853, at at the Grant Road Theatre in Mumbai, this marked the begin of Gujarati theatre.

  • Retrofitted Theaters and Film Remakes in Post Liberalization India
    Wide Screen 7.1 1 Journal Title: Wide Screen Vol. 7, No.1, March 2018 ISSN: 1757-3920 URL: http://widescreenjournal.org Published by Subaltern Media, 153 Sandringham Drive, Leeds LS17 8DQ, UK ARCHITECTURES OF MEMORY: RETROFITTED THEATERS AND FILM REMAKES IN POST LIBERALIZATION INDIA DEBJANI MUKHERJEE _____________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The multiplex as a cinematic exhibition space first appeared in India in 1997. Since then, they have proliferated across the urban Indian landscape, overrunning traditional single screen theaters, and engendering thematic and aesthetic shifts in popular cinema. Indian multiplexes, as an architectural expression of modernity, express a specific spatial aesthetic. By relocating a middle-class audience to this exclusionary space, multiplexes have attached the film experience to a particular audience demographic and organized a new production-distribution- exhibition logic, thus linking exhibition space to economic power and social status and connecting cinema-going to a specific social identity. As multiplexes expand, single screen theaters are rapidly shutting down, with some getting acquired and retrofitted by multiplex chains to turn into multiplexes or high-end cineplexes. Meanwhile, remakes of old hits are being made for the multiplex screen and circulated in new networks of production and distribution. This article considers the film remake as a concurrent formation alongside the remaking of single screen theaters. Film and architecture exist within

  • Mongrel Media Presents
    Mongrel Media presents A film by Deepa Mehta Preliminary Press notes As of August 29, 2002 Distribution 109 Melville Ave. Toronto, Ontario, Canada M6G 1Y3 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com Publicity Bonne Smith/Stacey Holland Star PR Tel: 416-488-4436 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] Synopsis When people from a culture largely defined by Bollywood find themselves in an environment that is saturated with Hollywood, the result is a state of mind that celebrates these two seemingly disparate worlds. A Bollywood/Hollywood state of mind. The film Bollywood/Hollywood is a madcap love-song to both East and West with Bollywood music, Hollywood choreography, North American locations. And the actors? Bollywood's best! The Story: Rahul Seth (Rahul Khanna) is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother (Moushumi Chatterjee) and grandmother (Dina Pathak). They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly (Jessica Paré) who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's (Rishma Malik) wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." What to Do?: Easy. Rahul enlists the services of Sue (Lisa Ray), a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women.
