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.

  • Futureworks Delivers Quality Remote Colour Grading for Amazon Prime's
    COLOUR GRADING RAHUL PURAV FUTUREWORKS DELIVERS QUALITY REMOTE COLOUR GRADING FOR AMAZON PRIME’S TANDAV WEB SERIES Remote Production is increasingly becoming prevalent in the post- production business. Tandav, an Amazon web series relied on FutureWorks Media to deliver remote production. Rahul Purav, Senior Colourist & Director of Imaging at FutureWorks Media Ltd and the team of artists delivered the colour grading for Tandav using FilmLight’s Baselight grading software and the monitoring was done using Dolby PRM 4200 monitor. BROADCAST AND FILM 15 JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2021 COLOUR GRADING Tandav is an Indian web series on Amazon Prime Video, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Saif Ali Khan portrays the role of a powerful politician in the series that started streaming from 15 January 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. This nine-episode series features Sunil Grover, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Dimple Kapadia, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Dino Morea, and Anup Soni. Rahul Purav, Senior Colourist & Director of Imaging at Future Works Media Ltd shares his insight on the challenges he faced on the colour grading Tandav and how he executed a seamless look for the whole series. “It was a challenging project with a specific teal and orange palette, travelling through elegant palaces down to the rustic dark neighbourhood exposing various environments and situations. Tandav depicts a strong visual language directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and captured by Karol Stadnik. One of the most notable feature of this project was that the entire grading was done remotely... Karol was in Warsaw and Ali was in his hometown. We could only achieve this with a carefully crafted and aligned visual workflow.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

  • Dev.D 1 Dev.D Is an Indian Romantic Drama Film Released on 6 February
    Dev.D 1 Dev.D Dev D Theatrical release poster Directed by Anurag Kashyap Produced by Ronnie Screwvala Written by Anurag Kashyap Vikramaditya Motwane Based on Devdas by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay Starring Abhay Deol Mahie Gill Kalki Koechlin Music by Amit Trivedi Cinematography Rajeev Ravi Edited by Aarti Bajaj Release date(s) •• 6 February 2009 Running time 144 min Budget 60 million (US$1.0 million) Box office 215.0 million (US$3.6 million) (domestic gross) Dev.D is an Indian romantic drama film released on 6 February 2009. Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, it is a modern-day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel Devdas,[1] previously adapted for the screen by P.C. Barua and Bimal Roy and more recently by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.[2] Dev.D was embraced by the media, critics and public. The film is set in contemporary Punjab and Delhi, where familial ties are negotiated by the traditions of patriarchy and marriages are reduced to a game of power and "honour". Plot Dev (Abhay Deol) is the son of a rich businessman. He and Paro (Mahi Gill) are childhood sweethearts. But Dev, being an insecure narcissist, instead of acknowledging her affection and care, nudges Paro over frivolous things. Dev is sent to London for higher studies when his father senses how spoilt his son is. While separated by distance, Paro and Dev's youthful love only blossoms more. Dev arrives in Chandigarh to meet Paro. Their endeavor to make love makes for some dark comic moments. The seeds of suspicion are sown here, which the couple will never be able to weed out for a lifetime.
