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.

    Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes | Saswat.com | All That's ... Page 1 of 5 Saswat.com All That's Left Blog :: Saswat Pattanayak Home Articles Links Poetry FAQ About Index Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes Subscribe to Saswat Blog By Saswat Pattanayak Literature Review: Not just the films themselves, the writings on the portrayal of women in popular Hindi films have too, long been dictated by assigning extremes—the woman’s prerogatives to belong to a side, of the evil or the virtuous, the vamp or the Madonna. Most authorship have evolved with historical representation of women in Bollywood to lead a discourse on the idealized women figures. Virdi (2003) justifies most studies as the “necessary first step” for providing a rich and abundant characterization of the idealized women figures: passive, victimized, sacrificial, submissive, glorified, static, one-dimensional, and resilient. And then, in her own work, she goes no further than the “first step”, by limiting to content-analysis of three films to study the women representation. Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for Indian culture in this century. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India to an extent that no preceding art form could ever achieve. And yet, the diversity in roles that women play is not aptly brought to examination either by the post colonial discoursers or the film studies intelligentsia. Gopalan (2000) leads discussion on the avenging women in Indian cinema. She argues that discussions of violence have to consider how films replete with avenging women, gangsters, brutal police force and vigilante closures stage some of the most volatile struggles over representations that shape the public and private fantasies of national, communal, regional and sexual identities.

  • Girl Rising India
    GIRL RISING INDIA Building a Movement for Girls Through Powerful Storytelling Girl Rising uses the power of storytelling to inspire, shift attitudes and change behavior. In India, Girl Rising’s powerful media tools have made meaningful strides towards increasing the agency of girls and women, and inspiring community members to support the movement for gender equality. Girl Rising Film Comes To India After a close consultation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a partnership with the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the Girl Rising film was launched in India in August 2015 as Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi (She Learns, She Rises) on Star television, which has a network of 450 million viewers across the country and a reach of 100+ countries. The film harnessed the talents of India’s biggest Bollywood stars including Priyanka Chopra, Freida Pinto, Parineeti Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Sushmita Sen, Amitabh Bachchan, Nandita Das, Farhan Akhtar, and Alia Bhatt, all of whom lent their voices to the film. Celebrities promoted the launch through their social media networks, and #IAMGirlRising trended No. 1 on Twitter India. Film Screenings To stir important conversations about girls’ education among corporations, communities, universities and neighborhoods, a screenings program was launched soon after the television broadcast of the film. Under this program, Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi was re-purposed for NGO and corporate audiences. Each version consisted of 3 stories from Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi and was complemented by a screenings toolkit that contained resources including discussion guides, Director’s Q&A, and promotional materials to help steer conversations around barriers to education.
