  • The Female Journalist in Bollywood Middle-Class Career Woman Or Problematic National Heroine?
    CRITICALviews CRITICALviews The Female Journalist in Bollywood MIDDLE-CLASS CAREER WOMAN OR PROBLEMATIC NATIONAL HEROINE? On the screen as in reality, female journalists in India have historically struggled to gain equality with their male peers. But a slew of recent Bollywood films depicting female reporters indicate that change may be afoot, as SUKHMANI KHORANA discusses. Growing up during India’s economic and communications ‘revolution’, my young mind revelled in the promise of a career in journalism that would serve both the aspirational self and the modernising nation. A role model emerged in Barkha Dutt, the LAKSHYA independent yet feminine reporter at the still-credible New Delhi Television (NDTV).

    The Road to Rāmar ājya : Analysing Shah Rukh Khan’s Parallel Text in Commercial Hindi Cinema Sunny Singh London Metropolitan University [email protected] This paper attempts to trace the construction of Shah Rukh Khan’s parallel text with explicit references to the Hindu epic Rāmāyana through an analysis of key cinematic texts produced from 1995 to 2007. The analysis follows the development of Shah Rukh Khan’s star text as a growing narrative drawn from, and interacting with, the epic and its protagonist, Rāma , and his idealised reign, Rāmar ājya , which is used in India to refer to an epoch of social stability. In addition, the paper explores how the star’s parallel text intersects the aspirations of a nation poised at the edge of monumental change, and the ways in which it challenges and subverts the popularly accepted notions of the growth of Hindu nationalist politics in the country in the late-1990s, finally leading to the assertion of a new, post-Hindutva, post-globalization identity as an Indian Muslim. Keywords: Shah Rukh Khan; India; stars; Bollywood; Rāmāyana . Este estudio intenta delinear la construcción del texto paralelo del actor Shah Rukh Khan con referencias explícitas al clásico épico hindú Rāmāyana por medio de análisis de textos cinematográficos del actor producidos entre 1995 y 2007. El análisis demuestra el desarrollo del texto paralelo de Khan como una narrativa basada en—y dialogando con—el clásico épico, su protagonista, Rāma , y su reino ideal, el Rāmar ājya . Además, el ensayo explora las maneras en que dicho texto llega a representar las pretensiones de una nación al borde de cambios monumentales, y las formas en las que desafía y subvierte las ideas generalmente aceptadas del desarrollo de nacionalismo hindú en el país durante la década de los noventa.

Rajnikant in Japan The West may have the biggest stalls in the world’s media bazaar, but it is not the only player. Globalization isn’t merely another word for Americanization — and the recent expansion of the Indian entertainment industry proves it. For hundreds of millions of fans around the world, it is Bollywood — India’s film industry — not Hollywood, that spins their screen fantasies. Bollywood, based in Mumbai, has become a global industry. India’s entertainment moguls don’t merely target the billion South Asians, or desis, at home: they make slick movies, songs and TV shows for export. Attracted by a growing middle class and a more welcoming investment environment, foreign companies are flocking to Bollywood, funding films and musicians.

    From Romeo to Rambo 109 From Romeo to Rambo: Popular Portrayals of Journalists in Bollywood Cinema by Ruhi Khan Journalist/Independent Researcher London, England, United Kingdom [email protected] and Danish Khan Journalist/Postgraduate Student King’s India Institute, King’s College London. England, United Kingdom [email protected] Most of us go to the movies to have fun: to laugh, cry, boo, cheer, be scared, thrilled, or simply to be amused for a few hours. But movies are something more than just an evening’s entertainment. They are also historical documents that help us see—and perhaps more fully understand—the world in which they were made. — Steven J. Ross, Movies and American Society1 Bollywood cinema serves as a prism reflecting to the world the people and ethos of India. The conflict and congruence between reality and fiction make Bollywood films one of the most interesting reflections of the perceived imagery of its subjects. This article attempts to understand the depiction of journalists in cinema by analyzing the popular portrayal of the journalist in Bollywood films. Siegfried Kracauer believes that in a majority of contemporary films, “things are pretty unrealistic,” but he also asserts that unreal cinema is “daydreams of society in which the true reality comes to the fore and its otherwise repressed wishes take on a form.”2 This argument stems from the notion that cinema reflects people’s aspirations and hopes of how From Romeo to Rambo 110 they see or wish to see the world. This is also true for the portrayal of journalists in Bollywood cinema.

  • Newsletter New Delhi
    Newsletter New Delhi 30 June 2009 (L-R) Refugee children from Myanmar, UNHCR staff – the “dance troupe”, Afghan refugees…photographs on the next page are of WRD events. WORLD REFUGEE DAY CELEBRATIONS It was a bit like a carnival. Each year on the 20th of June, World Refugee Day (WRD) celebrates the courage, resilience and dignity of all refugees. This year's theme "Real People, Real Needs" reflects the reality that despite the efforts of many–UNHCR and Governments–there are hundreds of refugees whose needs are far from being met. UNHCR New Delhi and its implementing partners celebrate WRD with refugees–more than 1250 refugees participated in two cultural events held in west Delhi (Vikaspuri) and south Delhi. For the first time ever, UNHCR New Delhi staff performed on stage, much to the delight of refugees. “Hum honge kamyab (We shall overcome)” was sung with feeling, followed by a dance by eight intrepid staff members to a medley of Bollywood songs. Refugees –children and young adults–performed with aplomb. With refugee children singing and dancing to Bollywood and some doing traditional dances, the celebration in west Delhi organized by the New Delhi YMCA, was a riot of colour, fun and laughter. Refugee children from Myanmar sang songs in English and their native dialects. An older group, dressed in traditional costumes did a bamboo dance, very similar to the Mizo dances of the North East of India. The scene stealers were a group of refugee children– Somali, Afghan and Palestinian–who sang and danced to "Bam Bam Bole" from Taare Zameen Par, a popular Hindi film.

    Happiness in the times of adversity Past few months have brought about a new realisation of the things that truly matter to all of us. In these times of adversity, we were able to discover moments of happiness. Happiness was in seeing our near & dear ones returning home safely. It was in the eyes of parents at the sight of their children in far off cities taking flights back home. It was also in the smiles of families on seeing the LPG deliveryman arrive with the refill in time or finding a Petrol Pump open on a desolate highway. The aftermath of the pandemic brought to us the sight of those who cared. We saw the efforts taken for the safety of those who are not known but still cared for. We saw the Warriors going beyond the call of duty for the happiness of others. Recent times brought us moments when ordinary people became heroes. The adversities were in plenty and so was the spirit to fight for ourselves and the people around us. The times that brought us challenges also taught us to value the things that bring happiness. While we might have been apart and distant but our hearts were still together. We salute to all the Warriors and are happy to be part of creating few such moments of happiness in the lives of millions in these challenging times.
