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.

He was a visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2007–08 BLACK FRIDAY Mediation and the Impossibility of Justice Anuj Bhuwania INTRODUCTION The subject was so sensitive, the film was almost like a trial. It dealt with real people, real names.’—Anurag Kashyap, Director, Black Friday1 his paper examines the anxieties of publicity and mediation in contemporary India by analyzing the ramifications of the Tlegal challenge to the release of a Hindi film called Black Friday based on a book on the police investigation of the serial bomb blasts, in the city then called Bombay, in March 1993. The film was to have an all-India release on 28 January 2005 but could not be released because one of the accused in the trial successfully filed a case asking for an injunction against it, arguing that the film in re-enacting the police investigation would pre-judge him as guilty and would thus vitiate the trial that was still in process. It would therefore be a ‘contempt of court’ as it would ‘interfere with the course of justice’ and would also defame the accused pronouncing them guilty before a public audience before the court has actually done so.

  • National School of Banking : 1 : Ptr-0320 Points to Remember
    NATIONAL SCHOOL OF BANKING : 1 : PTR-0320 POINTS TO REMEMBER CONSTITUTION - Supreme Court - The Supreme Court on 13th November 2019, upheld the disqualification of 17 dissident Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) legislators by then Karnataka Assembly Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar under the Tenth Schedule (anti-defection law) but held that their ouster is no bar from contesting repolls. Neither under the Constitution nor under the statutory scheme it is contemplated that disqualification under the Tenth Schedule would operate as a bar for contesting re-elections, a Bench led by Justice N.V. Ramana said in a judgment. The court said Section 36 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 does not contemplate such disqualification. On the provisions introduced in the 91st Constitutional Amendment, it said they were brought in specifically to ensure that a legislator disqualified for defection was not appointed as a government Minister or to any remunerative post from the date of his disqualification either till the expiry of his term of office or till he was re-elected to the legislature, “whichever is earlier”. In the light of the existing constitutional mandate, the Speaker is not empowered to disqualify any member till the end of the term. However, a member disqualified under the Tenth Schedule shall be subjected to sanctions provided under Articles 75(1B), 164(1B) and 361B of the Constitution, which provides for a bar from being appointed as a Minister or from holding any remunerative political post from the date of disqualification till the date on which the term of his office would expire or if he is re-elected to the legislature, whichever is earlier, the court held.

  • Mafia Queens of Mumbai- a Feminist- Psychoanalyst Perspective
    WAFFEN-UND KOSTUMKUNDE JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0042-9945 Mafia Queens of Mumbai- A feminist- psychoanalyst perspective By Sompurba Basu Assistant Professor, Reva University, Bangalore Key Words: Underworld, Mafia, drug-trafficking, psychoanalysis, feminist Abstract The Mumbai Underworld has always been an intriguing and fascinating sphere for many authors and filmmakers alike. Vishal Bharadwaj himself says that crime is juicier than spirituality, guns are more attractive than roses and perhaps, his adherence to this notion is predominant in his movies too, where crime plays a major role. The Mumbai drug-trafficking business which is an integral part of the Mumbai Mafia, didn‟t go untreated by him. The resultant by-product was the film, „Kaminey‟. When we come to authors, we have Vikram Chandra, whose book, „Sacred Games‟ has been made into a popular web-series in Netflix. Perhaps, the best crime writer to emerge into prominence is S. Hussain Zaidi, who is a veteran journalist, currently working as the resident editor of Deccan Chronicle/Asian Age, Mumbai. His bestselling book, „Black Friday‟, based on the 1993 serial bomb blasts was filmed by the very talented Anurag Kashyap in the year, 2004. His intense research on the Mumbai Mafia has been monumental in the production of all his Bestsellers and various movies. In this paper we will take into consideration his book, “Mafia Queens of Mumbai”, which depicts the lives of the very gutsy and lethal women mafia of Mumbai, their psychological complexities and the crisis, which pushed them beyond the limitations of human morality. Though he writes, not to pedestalize this pernicious race, yet we cannot ignore the feminist touch and sympathetic treatment to these women, which we can also term as the writer‟s folly.

  • Cinematic Adaptations of Shakespearean Dark Tragedies Into Bollywood
    Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 Cinematic Adaptations of Shakespearean Dark Tragedies into Bollywood Bhojraj Singh Asst. Professor Department of English Govt. Girls Deegree College Chhibramau, Kannauj-209721, (Affiliated to CSJM University, Kanpur), Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract Cinema has emerged as an influential medium of information, entertainment, news, education and historical memory in the beginning of early twentieth century. The Cinema is not only a powerful means of communication but also a mirror of society, a cultural agent of change and subject-matter and a source of history. In the over 450 years of his demise, Shakespeare has inspired several generations of filmmakers across the world with ideas through his plays that have the universality to transcend the confines of the written word, albeit in an English that is no longer in vogue, with characters that belong to a different era and a different cultures.. One reason for the large number of celluloid versions of Shakespeare may have sprung from the fact that Indian cinema is importing the content from abroad. The cinematic adaptation of the plays of William Shakespeare in India has been an outstanding and ground-breaking venture. When Shakespeare's plays are adapted on Indian Bollywood screen, it sets ablaze, and transfers the audience to a cinematic romance. Indian adaptation of both Shakespearean tragedy and comedy can be comprehended as a blending of West and East and a confluence of the Avon and The Ganga universalizing the human values. Shakespearean plays are indianized on the screen of Bollywood and are represented in Indian context dealing with the contemporary issue The present research paper will analyze the Bollywood adaptations of some Shakespeare dark tragedies like Macbeth, Othello, and Hamlet Into the movies like Maqbool, Omkara and Haider directed by Vishal Bharadwaj respectively and try to probe what imitation and innovation are made in them by comparing the adapted movies and the literary sources.

Hussain Zaidi Roli Books 2012. Reviewed by: Gurvir Singh Assistant Professor Department Of Verbal Ability Lovely Professional University S.Hussain Zaidi, the author, is a veteran of investigative crime and terrorism. He is perhaps the best crime reporter Mumbai has ever produced. He has been the chief crime reporter of Mumbai’s best newspapers. His first book ‘Black Friday’ went to become a bestseller of its time and then adapted into a movie of the same name.The book traces the evolution of the Mumbai mafia from a group of thugs and smugglers to the present day mafia dons of organised crime. It traces the journey of Dawood Ibrahim from the by-lanes of Dongri where he first cut his teeth in crime, to Dubai, where he eventually established his empire. The book was adapted into the film Shootout at Wadala by Sanjay Gupta. Zaidi was the only one to get an interview with Dawood Ibrahim after he left the Indian shores forever. It is only befitting that Zaidi after two decades of work gives the city and the country a brief glimpse into that world.
