M. Keith Booker, PhD Dissertation Director Yajaira M. Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Anurag Kashyap, Guneet Monga, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadda, Vikramaditya Motwane
    [LISTED] THE UNDERDOG TURNED SUPERSTAR ANURAG KASHYAP, GUNEET MONGA, NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI, RICHA CHADDA, VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE Text Shahnaz Siganporia Photography Ishika Mohan Motwane N THE INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY, there are good and bad words. ‘Un- derdog’, ‘struggler’, ‘starlet’ are clubbed into the ‘bad’ category while I words such as ‘Superstar’, ‘100 Crore Club’, ‘legacy’ fall into the ‘good’ category. However, sometimes the two combine to form a heady cocktail. The starlet bags a 100 crore film and the underdog becomes the superstar. The latter is a tricky balance—there’s the formulaic superstar and then there’s the superstar who paves his or her own way and creates cinema that goes way beyond the norm. Over the last few years, the tides have been busy changing, contorting and transforming our home-grown film industry. And let’s face it, in an industry raking in the moolah, thanks to wish-fulfilment and feel- good stories, we’re suckers for the runt who becomes the alpha. In the 100th year of Indian cinema, Platform celebrates the erstwhile underdogs who have gone on to carve out a space for themselves and have begun their ascent to stardom. NOV/DEC 2013 · PLATFORM · CREATIVE LIFESTYLE · 031 [LISTED] Anurag Kashyap FROM BANNED TO LAUDED THE BEGINNING I don’t know why I wanted to make films. It’s like asking yourself why you love someone. How do you explain that? You just do, you know? I just knew that filmmaking is what I wanted to do.
