    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.

Since we have access to some of the best talent in the industry and we have strong infrastructure, we are planning to start producing or co-producing films which are shot in and around Delhi,” says Akshay, son of Sandeep Marwah who established the Marwah Studios about 23 years ago. Talking about why there is no need to move to Mumbai to produce films, he shared that although they have set up a branch in Mumbai, Delhi has become a hotspot for film shoots now. “Delhi offers fresh locations and lovely weather, while Marwah Studios offers strong support,” he says, adding, “Production is not limited to financing; it deals with the creative aspect from casting to overlooking the project.” Basicolan Sandeep Marwah is a product of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College BCom Hons 1978 MCom 1981 SOL and was a theatre-artiste and cultural activist as student.

  • Bigger, Better and More Action-Packed—The Sequel to Bollywood Blockbuster Race Raises the Stakes
    Audi fuels Race 2 Bigger, better and more action-packed—the sequel to Bollywood blockbuster Race raises the stakes. The Team of Audi joins Race 2 for the race to the finish. By Gerd Blank (copy) Race 2. Actor Saif Ali Khan poses with the Audi A8 during the filming of 074 / inspire / Audi magazine Audi magazine / 075 “Three cameras film simultaneously so that a scene can be shot from three different angles.” Saif Ali Khan It’s a mild, sunny day—but the weather is to- tally at odds with what is about to happen in a secluded street in Istanbul. Suddenly, the roar of an engine breaks through the silence. The pitch increases briefly as the driver changes gear. Brakes howl, tires screech and the car completes a perfect about-face before coming to a standstill in exactly the right spot. A voice in the back- ground calls, “Cut.” The duo directing the new Bollywood blockbuster Race 2 is satisfied with the scene. For John Abraham, this spin in his customized Audi R8 was one of the most difficult scenes in the movie. “I had to pull up exactly in front of the cameraman. Because I was driving an Audi, I could just follow my instincts.” Adrenaline-pumping action and fast cars—with this formula, Race earned roughly a billion rupees at the box office, making it one of the most successful Indian films of 2008. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone on the subcontinent who hasn’t seen the first installment of the high-octane thriller.
