In India, Gods Rule the 'Toon' Universe
In India, Gods Rule The 'Toon' Universe http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/08/AR... In India, Gods Rule The 'Toon' Universe Hindu Myth a Fount of Superheroes By Rama Lakshmi Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, January 9, 2008; A11 NEW DELHI -- Eight-year-old Tejas Vohra is used to spending most of his after-school hours watching "Power Rangers," "Transformers" and "Looney Tunes." But these days, one of his favorite superheroes is a cool cartoon version of Hanuman, the monkey-headed Hindu god. For thousands of years, Hindus have prayed to Hanuman in times of trouble, beseeching him to perform miraculous feats in their lives. Last week, the god was revealed to Tejas in a movie theater. In "The Return of Hanuman," the adored deity is reborn as a boy who goes to school in khaki shorts, uses a computer, combats pollution and, most important, smashes the bad guys to pulp. "I loved the film because Hanuman is a boy like me and saves planet Earth," said Tejas, a tall, wide-eyed second-grader. "It was awesome to see the gods laughing, singing and flying planes. The fights were really good, and in the end Hanuman sets everything right." A number of haloed Hindu gods and goddesses have debuted in the frenetic world of animation over the past five years. Their appearance marks a shift from a decades-long period in which Indian children grew up almost exclusively on American TV and movie characters, including Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, and Spider-Man. To many parents, though, the "mytho-cartoons" are more than a novelty; they are a way to introduce the ancient tales to a generation that seems to be losing touch with its 5,000-year heritage. -

I’m a Drama Queen…But I’m the Star you Love to See! Soap Operas, Melodrama and the Televisual Construction of Female Stardom Ritika Pant Abstract The relationship between the silver screen and stardom has been the focus of academic work for several decades. Despite the post-globalization expansion in the Indian mediascape, a rapid increase in the number of television channels, an exponential increase in television programming, and a never-ending production of television stars, small-screen stardom, however, has still not received the same kind of academic attention. With the arrival of Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji telefilms in the early 2000s, the soap-opera genre on Indian Television introduced the audiences to melodramatic tales in the form of saas-bahu sagas. Kapoor’s soaps gave birth to iconic characters like Tulsi, Parvati, Prerna and Jassi whom an average Indian woman adored, identified with and often held on a pedestal higher than that of film stars. Thus, the phenomenon of stardom, once associated with film actors, slowly found its manifestation in television actors. This paper aims to understand the discourse of the star-text that emerges in relation to the small- screen through the ‘leading ladies’ of the soap opera genre. The paper will explore Volume 3. Issue 1. 2015 1 URL: http://subversions.tiss.edu/ how ‘female stardom’ is constructed on the small-screen through the melodramatic form and televisual techniques adopted in the soap opera genre. Establishing an association between television melodrama and television stardom, I will analyze how the two complement each other and prioritize the female protagonist through narrative, music, costumes and other televisual techniques, thus conferring to her a ‘star-status’. -
'Beep'- the Sound of Erasure
‘Beep’- the Sound of Erasure: The Censored Text as an Aesthetic Device Ishani Dey Abstract This paper is invested in exploring the sensory affect that is created through censorship. It is invested in unravelling the complex interaction between the films of Anurag Kashyap and the institution of censorship, the sensibilities of which are capitalized and appropriated into the aesthetic effect of the film. It also looks at how such a deployment constructs the cult of a transgressive auteur. I argue that the deafening ‘beep’ that screams of the otherwise silencing practices of censorship is what guides the way to unraveling the subversion of censorship in the filmic text. Taking cue from Žižek’s Pervert’s Guide to Cinema (2006) which looks at cinema as the ultimate pervert art, telling us how to desire, this paper asserts that censorship doesn’t erase the profane, instead it points to its very utterance. I argue how Kashyap’s films’ profilmic text becomes the site of censorship standing out as material evidence to its very censoring. The ‘beeped’ or censored word becomes a provocation focusing attention onto itself by mobilizing its unspeakability through marketing the product as “controversial”. I posit that Anurag Kashyap capitalizes on this recognition. I look at the force of publicity that is created by censorship in Kashyap’s public discourse on censorship, 87 Volume 3. Issue 1. 2015 URL: http://subversions.tiss.edu/ in his negotiations with the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) from before the planned commercial release of his first directorial venture Paanch to his ongoing battle with the CBFC over refusing to use the court mandated no smoking warning in ‘Ugly’ (2014)1. -

If I Hadn't Made It As a Director, I'd Have Been a Spot Boy: Director Shlok
If I hadn’t made it as a director, I’d have been a spot boy: Director Shlok Sharma on the making of the IFFLA 2015 opening film Haraamkhor longlivecinema.com /haraamkhor-making-shlok-sharma/ Filmmaker Shlok Sharma’s powerful debut feature Haraamkhor portrays the tussle between innocent and forbidden love. Having worked closely with two of India’s most known and followed contemporary filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Vishal Bhardwaj, Shlok’s film is one that is much anticipated. Based on a true events, Haraamkhor tells the story of a 15-year-old girl’s relationship with her teacher. Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi in the lead, the film had its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival Of Los Angeles, 2015, yesterday night. Fresh off the screening Shlok Sharma, who has earlier helmed short films like Sujata, Bombay Mirror and Hidden Cricket, speaks to Long Live Cinema on the challenges of making his first feature and about the lessons he learnt from his mentors. Tell us a bit about your background and how you got interested in films and filmmaking. For as long as I remember, it was always meant to be films. I wrote my first script (or what I thought was a script) when I was in Class 9. I met Vishalji when I was only 16. He gave me a break when he asked me to join him on the production team of The Blue Umbrella. I was a production assistant on the film. I would stand in queues to book tickets for the entire crew, for almost months. -

Anurag Kashyap (1972 - )
HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D. ANURAG KASHYAP (1972 - ) LIFE Anurag Kashyap’s father is a now-retired engineer, who sent his young son to a prestigious boarding school in Dehradun (in the Himalayan foothills). His later schooling was in Gwalior, after which he went to New Delhi to study zoology at Delhi University. Having received his degree in 1993, he began acting and directing in a street theatre group. During that time, he became addicted to film, especially international films, especially those by de Sica and especially Bicycle Thieves. Inspired to become a director, he relocated to Bombay , where he roughed it until he was able to direct a play. Slowly, he made contacts in the film industry and got jobs as a script writer for bot h screen and television. Throughout his productive directorial career in Bollywood, starting with his first release (Black Friday) in 2007, Kashyap has made stylish thrillers that dramatise the world of crime without glorifying it. His most internationally acclaimed film so far is The Gangs of Wasseypur, a tour de force that documents the operations of a coal mafia over six decades from the 1940s. Today, he is active in making feature-length and shorter films, for television as well as cinemas. Kashyap’s brother is a film-director, and his sister is an associate producer on most of his films. He married a film editor, with whom he had a daughter, but they divorced in 2009. A few years later, he married an actress, but they also divorced, two years later. ACHIEVEMENTS In 2013 Kashyap was awarded the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts des Lettres) by the French Government during a festival to celebrate a century of Indian cinema. -

He had enormous faith in me and this project from the earliest stages, and encouraged me to explore different approaches to my material, which led to my adopting a multidisciplinary orientation — one that I hope has proven to be productive. His insightful feedback has been instrumental in shaping this dissertation. His humor and generosity not only made the journey smoother, but also brighter. I am also very grateful to my committee members Terry Harpold, Susan Hegeman and Malini Schueller for their guidance and support throughout this process. Discussions with them led to important insights and a broadening of critical frames, and their feedback has been extremely helpful. I would also like to thank Vasudha Narayanan, my external committee member, for her guidance. Many thanks to my professor from Delhi University, Rimli Bhattacharya, for her inspiration and encouragement, and to Anja, for the stimulating conversations, advice and support. Part of the fieldwork undertaken for this project was made possible by the Hannah Beiter Graduate Research Grant, and I thank the Children’s Literature Association for the award, as well as all the people who gave their time for interviews. -
