The Madhuri Magic COVER STORY HINDI FILM INDUSTRY THE MADHURI MAGIC By ANUPAMA CHANDRA Khalnayak, makes what is now a universal assessment of her: "N,o two ways about it—she is Number One."

They are much more. In one Bangalore theatre, the police were coming in droves to see her perform the song whose soundtrack has sold over 20 lakh copies. "The song is sensational," says actor Anil Kapoor, and Madhuri is "just mind-blowing". N tinseltown, hype is king. Or queen, in this case. But even discounting Ithat, the Madhuri magic is currently working overtime. Around Rs 12 crore rides on the 25-plus heroine's slender 5-ft, 4-inch frame. With reputed names like Sooraj Barjatya, Indra Kumar and Rahul Rawail directing her, she's clearly no seven-day wonder either. Advertisers are offering her anywhere up to Rs 60 lakh for product endorse- ments. She gets two to three acting offers a day, approximately 2,000 fan letters a week and if you are planning a potboiler with a combination of action, oomph and Bollywood shuffle, you can't do it without Madhuri Dixit. But you'll have to wait till October '95—she doesn't have any dates free until then. Magazines that once labelled her "Madhuri Jinx-it" are now actively touting her as number one. Movie, which had asked, "Can Madhuri over- throw Sridevi?" in a March '89 cover story shortly after the release of her tremendously successful Ram Lakhan opposite Anil Kapoor, answered the question in its June '93 opinion poll. Over 10,000 readers—or 39 per cent of those who responded—said Madhuri was their favourite actress. Suddenly, everyone's begun to take notice of her. Britain's Sunday Telegraph's Foreign Bodies column re- cently called her "India's sexiest film star". The Times of London, reporting on the heated Choli debate, called her the country's most glamorous actress. At Rs 40 lakh a movie. Sridevi remains the higher paid. Madhuri gets between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 35 lakh, roughly the same as Jackie Shroff but substantially higher than other stars like Salman Khan. Mukul Anand, who directed her in Mahasangram in 1990, admits that her appeal is on par with that of the heroes.

  • Govind Nihalani's 'Hazaar Chaurasi Ki
    Reclaiming Her /histories), reclaiming Lives: Govind Nihalani’s ‘Hazaar Chaurasi ki Ma’ and Mahashweta Devi’s Mother of 1084. Baruah Baishali Assistant Professor. Dept. of English Satyawati College (D) University of Delhi India Mahashweta Devi’s story is about the reawakening of a mother proselytized by the death of her son against the backdrop of the systematic “annihilation” of the Naxalites in the 1970’s Bengal. The uncanny death forces the apolitical mother to embark on a quest for the discovery of her ‘real’ son which eventually leads to her own self-discovery. The discovery entails the knowledge of certain truths or half truths about the particular socio-political milieu in which the characters are located. Sujata conditioned to play the submissive, unquestioning wife and mother for the major part of her life gains a new consciousness about her own reality (as a woman) and her immediate context (the patriarchal / feudal order). She therefore pledges to refashion herself by assimilating her son’s political beliefs of ushering in a new egalitarian world without centre or margin. In Govind Nihalani’s own words his film is “a tribute to that dream”. The symbiotic relation of the mother and the son which is shown to be more than just blood relation is done full justice by Nihalani. Jaya Bacchan plays to the hilt the traumatized mother (Sujata) who finds herself locked within her “solitary cell” and constantly assailed by the guilt of not knowing her son adequately when alive. The information about her son (Brati) that surfaces by her association with one Somu’s mother (Seema Biswas) and Nandini (played by Nandita Das) help her discover Brati his idealism, and shed her complacency about the arrangements of the hierarchised structure that underline every interpersonal (man- woman) and social (class/caste) relationship.

    Ajeeb Aadmi—An Introduction I , Sa‘adat Hasan Manto, Krishan Chandar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Kaifi Azmi, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Ali Sardar Jafri, Majaz, Meeraji, and Khawaja Ahmed Abbas. These are some of the names that come to mind when we think of the Progressive Writers’ Movement and modern Urdu literature. But how many people know that every one of these writers was also involved with the Bombay film indus- try and was closely associated with film directors, actors, singers and pro- ducers? Ismat Chughtai’s husband Shahid Latif was a director and he and Ismat Chughtai worked together in his lifetime. After Shahid’s death Ismat Chughtai continued the work alone. In all, she wrote scripts for twelve films, the most notable among them ◊iddµ, Buzdil, Sån® kµ ≤µ∞y≥, and Garm Hav≥. She also acted in Shyam Benegal’s Jun∑n. Khawaja Ahmed Abbas made a name for himself as director and producer for his own films and also by writing scripts for some of Raj Kapoor’s best- known films. Manto, Krishan Chandar and Bedi also wrote scripts for the Bombay films, while all of the above-mentioned poets provided lyrics for some of the most alluring and enduring film songs ever to come out of India. In remembering Kaifi Azmi, Ranjit Hoskote says that the felicities of Urdu poetry and prose entered the consciousness of a vast, national audience through the medium of the popular Hindi cinema; for which masters of Urdu prose, such as Sadat [sic] Hasan Manto, wrote scripts, while many of the Progressives, Azmi included, provided lyrics.

  • Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
    Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

    PJAEE, 17(6) (2020) REPRESENTATION OF SIKH CHARACTER IN BOLLYWOOD MOVIES:A STUDY ON SELECTIVE BOLLYWOOD MOVIES Navpreet Kaur Assistant Professor University Institute of Media Studies, Chandigarh University, Punjab, India [email protected] Navpreet Kaur, Representation Of Sikh Character In Bollywood Movies: A Study On Selective Bollywood Movies– Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(6) (2020), ISSN 1567-214X. Keywords: Bollywood, Sikh, Sikh Character, War, Drama, Crime, Biopic, Action, Diljit Dosanhj, Punjab Abstract Sikhs have been ordinarily spoken to in mainstream Hindi film either as courageous warriors or as classless rustics. In the patriot message in which the envisioned was an urban North Indian, Hindu male, Sikh characters were uprooted and made to give entertainment. Bollywood stars have donned the turban to turn Sikh cool, Sikhs view the representation of the community in Bollywood as demeaning and have attempted to revive the Punjabi film industry as an attempt at authentic self-representation. But with the passage of time the Bollywood makers experimented with the role and images of Sikh character. Sunny Deol's starrer movie Border and Gadar led a foundation of Sikh identity and real image of Sikh community and open the doors for others. This paper examines representation of Sikhs in new Bollywood films to inquire if the romanticization of Sikhs as representing rustic authenticity is a clever marketing tactic used by the Bollywood. Introduction Bollywood is the sobriquet for India's Hindi language film industry, situated in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is all the more officially alluded to as Hindi film. The expression "Bollywood" is frequently utilized by non-Indians as a synecdoche to allude to the entire of Indian film; be that as it may, Bollywood legitimate is just a piece of the bigger Indian film industry, which incorporates other creation communities delivering films in numerous other Indian dialects.
