  • Use and Abuse of Female Body in Popular Hindi Films: a Semiotic Analysis of Item Songs
    Use and Abuse of Female Body in Popular Hindi Films: A Semiotic analysis of Item Songs *Dr. G. K. Sahu Assistant Professor Dept. of Mass Communication Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh- 202002 & **Sana Abbas Research Scholar Dept. of Mass Communication Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh-202002 India Abstract The item songs have become an important element of Bollywood movies. Women are featured as a commodity, only to satisfy male urge and their bodies are featured in a way as if they are meant for male consumption. In an environment where a plethora of movies are releasing every year, putting a peppy item song in a movie, is a good trick to gain the attention of viewers . Brazen lyrics are used to enhance the popularity of these songs. Many established film makers in the industry are using this trick to gain huge financial returns. They are attracting and engaging audiences by using as well as abusing female body in their films. The paper makes an attempt to analyze the item songs by employing semiotic method to examine the use and abuse of female body in Hindi films. Key Words: Hindi Films, Item Songs, Female Body, Use & Abuse, Portrayal, Commoditization. www.ijellh.com 14 Introduction Cinema and dance have had a long history of engagement. Cinema enlisted dance from its very beginnings – the spectacular display of movement. The shared investment in movement ensured a spontaneous intermediality (transgression of boundaries) between early cinema and dance. Songs with dance have always played a crucial role in Hindi movies. The role of song and its demand changed with the entry of „item songs‟.

  • The 'Item Number' in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox
    Journal of Culture, Society and Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8400 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.39, 2018 The ‘Item Number’ in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox Isha Jain (Corresponding author) National Law School of India University, Bangalore, India Abstract The “item number” is a hyper-sexualised song-and-dance performance that is characteristic to mainstream Bollywood cinema. When viewed in the context of a general tendency towards the censorship of public depictions of sexualized women in other spheres of the Indian polity, the ubiquity and popularity of item numbers reflects a confounding cultural paradox. The aim of this article is to deconstruct this paradox, by identifying the narrative structures and plot devices employed by film-makers to market these performances without suffering the disapproval of either the Indian State apparatus or the purportedly prudish Indian cinema- goer. Introduction The Indian State, through both its formal and informal centres of power, continues to burden the Indian woman with the charge of guarding national pride, culture, and morality.1 The defiling of the Indian woman, synonymous with her sexualisation, is the defiling of India. This parallel is evident in the title of “Mother India”, a 1957 film centred around a de-sexualised, self-sacrificial female protagonist intended to be emblematic of both the ideal Indian woman and of India herself.2 Yet, the Indian film industry has succeeded at carving out a niche for the commodification and sale of female sexuality within a broader milieu characterised by the disapprobation of that very sexuality. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the “item number”,3 a hyper-sexualised cinematic performance that is both paradoxically and quintessentially Bollywood.

  • Press Release Indraprastha Gas Limited
    Press Release Indraprastha Gas Limited September 07, 2020 Ratings Instrument Amount (Rs. crore) Rating1 Rating Action CARE AAA; Stable Long Term Bank Facilities 600 Assigned (Triple A; Outlook : Stable) 600 Total (Rs. Six Hundred Crore Only) Long term Instruments- CARE AAA; Stable 400 Reaffirmed Bonds (Proposed) (Triple A; Outlook : Stable) Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure-1 Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The reaffirmation in the ratings assigned to the long term facilities of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) takes into account the company’s strong financial risk profile marked by healthy profitability margins, strong solvency and liquidity position. The ratings continue to reflect the company’s legacy of being the pioneer in city gas distribution (CGD) in the National Capital Region of Delhi (Delhi-NCR), enjoying an exclusive position in the business, besides the strong parentage of GAIL and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) as majority shareholders. The ratings also factor in the favourable demand outlook and growth prospects for the compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) in the geography. The company has witnessed growth in both the segments and enjoys monopoly with regards to the network exclusivity under PNGRB Act, 2006. The ratings, however, remain exposed to the regulatory risks in the sector and IGL’s aggressive expansion plans in coming years with respect to authorizations of new geographical areas (GAs) under the 9th and 10th bidding rounds. Furthermore, the company has an exposure to project execution risks with a large contingent liability, primarily in the form of performance bank guarantee for meeting the Minimum Work Programme (MWP).
