  • Anglo-Indian Stereotypes and Malayalam Cinema
    BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: ANGLO-INDIAN STEREOTYPES AND MALAYALAM CINEMA Priya Alphonsa Mathew & Rajesh James ABSTRACT The Anglo-Indians of India are the racial hybrids of European and Indian stock who came into being through four centuries of European colonial contact with India. Malayalam cinema produced in the state of Kerala, albeit being the fourth largest film industry in India, by and large has always been ridden by dominant-caste favouritisms. Regrettably there is minimal representation of the Anglo-Indian community in Malayalam films and if they occupy the screen-space at all, misrepresentation, typecasting and a dogged discourse of estrangement characterises their portrayal. These films ideologically affirm all the denigrating Anglo-Indian stereotypes, slyly 'othering' this ‘hybrid’ community, ostracizing them as the ‘romantic outsiders’ of Kerala and typified as ‘non-realistic’ in their approach to life. Historicising the production and reception of Anglo-Indian delineations in Malayalam cinema from 1970s to 2018, this paper examines such films both as processes and products of the complex historical, cultural and nationalist policies of majoritarian isolationist politics. The paper explicates not just the politics of signification, but the politics of (mis)representation, which is how the Anglo-Indian community gets pigeonholed in the filmic narratives produced in Kerala. It foregrounds the need to destabilize and subvert the conservative and belittling attitude towards the Anglo-Indian community in Malayalam films. The paper thereby argues the need for a fair and inclusive perspective of the Anglo-Indians in the mainstream Malayalam cinemascape. IJAIS Vol. 18, No. 1. 2018 pp. 20-39 www.international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org Between Two Worlds: Anglo-Indian Stereotypes and Malayalam Cinema 21 INTRODUCTION The narrative expressions of Malayalam cinema1 with its casteist mind set and ideological favouritisms such as elitism and hyper masculinity have constantly privileged and fêted the dominant class, caste and gender discourses.

  • Resilience of Women in the Selected Films in Mollywood
    Vol. 4 No. 4 July 2020 E-ISSN: 2456-5571 Resilience of Women in the Selected Films in Mollywood JIBIN FRANCIS Ph.D Research Scholar, Department of English St.John’s College, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli Dr. B. BENESON THILAGAR CHRISTADOSS Associate Professor of English St. John’s College, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli Abstract Films always echo and reflect society. Changes in society influence films and at the same time, society is also influenced by the messages conveyed through films. When the old films are compared with the films of the 21st century, one can find that the change is drastic. It is not only in the physical or technical aspects like the settings and costumes of the characters, but also in the themes and roles of women. For example, strong women-centred themes were not very much experimented in the old films. But in the 21st century, a number of such films appear and stereotypical women characters are disappearing. Now there are many movies which depict women as the central characters. Such films get wide acceptance all over the world, because they can empower women. Both directors and script writers are courageous enough to come up with women centred scripts. The theme of resilience in films especially the resilience of women is powerful and it carries a dual function in the society. Firstly, it clearly represents the realities which women face and secondly, it shows how women survive struggles and come back to normal life. This encourages women to retain faith and to come back to normal life. This paper goes through the women characters of some selected Malayalam films which show the real meaning of resilience through their actions and convey a strong message to the world.
