But just like his character in 3 Idiots he followed his heart and today he is a well known actor in both the Hindi and Tamil film industries. “Under parental pressure, I did my B Sc electronics hoping to do one more year and getting my BTech degree. But by then I had realised that engineering was not my passion. Luckily for me though things changed in my third year.” He was not only nominated as India’s cultural ambassador to Canada but also was sent to England for field training as he was adjudged as the best NCC cadet in Maharashtra. “This exposure widened my horizons and gave me the confidence to do my own thing. So after my electronics degree, much against my parent’s wishes, I did my Masters in advertising and public relations.” He then came to Mumbai where he started teaching public speaking and communication. “I won the Indian Championship for Public Speaking and represented the Disclaimer: This PDF is auto-generated based on the information available on Shiksha as on 04-Jun-2020. nation at the Young Businessmen Conference in Tokyo, (1992.),” he recalls.

  • Clothing the Marriageable Tamil Women Ranjani Krishnakumar [email protected]
    Of marriages and families: clothing the marriageable Tamil women Ranjani Krishnakumar Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 74–99 | ISSN 2050-487X | www.southasianist.ed.ac.uk www.southasianist.ed.ac.uk | ISSN 2050-487X | pg. 74 Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 74–99 Of marriages and families: clothing the marriageable Tamil women Ranjani Krishnakumar [email protected] The secondary role played by women in Tamil films – both on and off screen – has been widely discussed in journalistic circles and academia. Nair’s assertion that in Indian films ‘women exist only in relation to the men, as their mothers, their wives, and especially their lovers’ is true of Tamil film narratives too (Jain and Rai 2002: 52). This portrayal of women has led to her social and cultural identity relying heavily, if not solely, on her being able to marry the right man. Moreover, the highly gendered Indian nationalism, relegating women to the ‘inner sphere’ and expecting them to remain pure (Chatterjee 1993), vests the responsibility of upholding culture in women, often subjecting them to standards higher than those set for men, the ‘outer sphere’. Weidman (2005: 754) adds that not only is inner sphere versus outer sphere a matter of men versus women but ‘as a difference between kinds of women: the respectable middle-class “family woman” and the lower class “prostitute”’, establishing idealised notions of womanhood that are manifested in tangible ways such as acceptable behaviour, appropriate language and appreciable clothing. In this paper, I explore the role of clothing in cinema in establishing such an identity for a Tamil woman over the years.

  • Voiceless Heroines: Use of Dubbed Voices in Tamil Movies*
    Asian Women March 2017, Vol. 33, No. 1, pp. 73-98 Voiceless Heroines: Use of Dubbed Voices in Tamil Movies* Premalatha Karupiah Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia 1 Abstract Scholars have argued that sound in films has not been given much theoretical attention. Without understanding the use of sound in films, a comprehensive knowledge of the meaning and ideology of movies is not possible. This paper explores how heroines’ voices are presented in Tamil movies and provides empirical evidence about gender inequality in the aural practices of Tamil movies. The data for this study came from a content analysis of 40 Tamil movies produced in India (1961–2012), 8 websites related to voice dubbing in Tamil movies, and 4 YouTube videos. The term “dubbed voice” refers to the practice of using a voice-actor or dubbing artist to deliver the dialogue while someone else acts in the movie. In Tamil movies, this trend has been common since the 1980s among female actors in lead roles but not among lead male actors. Even though the inability to speak Tamil is one of the reasons for this practice, it does not explain why female stars mostly use a dubbed voice. The male actors–including non-native speakers–often use their own voice. The use of a few select dubbing artists to lend their voices to heroines limits the type of female voices heard (from lead roles) in Tamil movies and narrowly defines the types of women’s voices that are associated with someone who is attractive or good. Therefore, Tamil movies are limiting not only the looks that are showcased on the screen but also the female voices heard in these movies.

  • Watching from an Arm's Length: the Foreign Hand in Tamil Cinema
    Watching from an Arm’s Length: The Foreign Hand in Tamil Cinema Preeti Mudliar Xerox Research Centre, India [email protected] Joyojeet Pal School of Information, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor [email protected] Abstract Scholarly work on Tamil cinema has traditionally focused on the construction of Tamil authenticity. Much of this work portrays the foreignness of the other Indian — particularly the North Indian — but little work exists on the construction of the non-Indian space or person. We argue that quite often films emphasize Tamil authenticity by constructing an othering-type discourse of foreign spaces and their inhabitants, including the Tamil Diaspora. Through an analysis of 90 films and five in-depth interviews, we demonstrate that Tamil film presents an opportunity to understand how an important regional center of Indian cinema both represents the foreign and constructs the Indian Diaspora and its spaces, while differing from the more globally known Hindi-language productions of Bollywood. Keywords: Tamil cinema, Foreign, Other, Diaspora, Bollywood, Indian cinema, Films Watching from an Arm’s Length: The Foreign Hand in Tamil Cinema Hindi films saw a flood of cinematic articulations on the figure of the migrant, the returning migrant, and on foreign geographies post-liberalization in 1991. These economic reforms coincided with the growth of a wealthy western Diaspora, which found its way to the Hindi cinema screen and in turn helped create a niche market, particularly in North America and the UK. With the imagery of upper-class Indians in exotic foreign locations, this phenomenon was an important thematic turn for Hindi cinema.
