  • Seeing Like a Feminist: Representations of Societal Realities in Women-Centric Bollywood Films
    Seeing like a Feminist: Representations of Societal Realities in Women-centric Bollywood Films Sutapa Chaudhuri, University of Calcutta, India The Asian Conference on Film & Documentary 2014 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract One of the most notable contemporary trends in Indian cinema, the genre of women oriented films seen through a feminist lens, has gained both critical acclaim and sensitive audience reception for its experimentations with form and cinematic representations of societal realities, especially women’s realities in its subject matter. The proposed paper is based on readings of such women centric, gender sensitive Bollywood films like Tarpan, Matrubhoomi or The Dirty Picture that foreground the harsh realities of life faced by women in the contemporary patriarchal Indian society, a society still plagued by evils like female foeticide/infanticide, gender imbalance, dowry deaths, child marriage, bride buying, rape, prostitution, casteism or communalism, issues that are glossed over, negated, distorted or denied representation to preserve the entertaining, escapist nature of the melodramatic, indeed addictive, panacea that the high-on-star-quotient mainstream Bollywood films, the so-called ‘masala’ movies, offer to the lay Indian masses. It would also focus on new age cinemas like Paheli or English Vinglish, that, though apparently following the mainstream conventions nevertheless deal with the different complex choices that life throws up before women, choices that force the women to break out from the stereotypical representation of women and embrace new complex choices in life. The active agency attributed to women in these films humanize the ‘fantastic’ filmi representations of women as either exemplarily good or baser than the basest—the eternal feminine, or the power hungry sex siren and present the psychosocial complexities that in reality inform the lives of real and/or reel women.

  • Final Brouchre.Cdr
    presents The 10th HABITAT FILM FESTIVAL 2015 May 8 - 17 2015 Ten years ago, we began the Habitat Film Festival, to turn the spotlight on the wealth of Pan Indian Cinema, which in addition to being largely overshadowed by Bollywood, had been relegated to an 'also showing 'status at Film Festivals, tripping over themselves to add the 'International' 'Asian' 'European' tag as a feather in their caps. In the last ten years the face of Indian cinema has seen the most dramatic turnaround. A brave new breed of young directors, fresh ideas, skilled professionals re-invented the face of Indian cinema adding their weight to the work of existing stalwarts who had stuck to their art. Today, the presence, appreciation, awards and accolades for Indian films in the international arena is increasingly becoming the norm rather than a novelty. Bollywood, though as popular (if not more than earlier !) is no longer the sole face of Indian cinema. Celebrating ten years of The Habitat Film Festival, we bring you gems from the last year that showcase the variety and passion of our contemporary film makers. In our tribute segment, we honour the inimitable and unmatchable tower of talent Kamaal Hasan with a retrospective of some of his hand picked films. Screenings will be followed by interactions with directors/producers giving cinema lovers an opportunity of a focused interaction and Q & A.

  • Unveiling the Female Chauvinist Pigs in Indian Cinema
    © Media Watch 7 (3) 370-380, 2016 ISSN 0976-0911 e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2016/v7i3/48551 Weepies Going Dirty and Machos Doing Masti: Unveiling the Female Chauvinist Pigs in Indian Cinema SIMRANPREET KAUR & VANDANA SHARMA Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, India This paper aims to examine Raunch culture, a strand of post-feminism in the recent Bollywood movies, The Dirty Picture and Grand Masti. Both these movies critique the perception that the investment in raunch feminine sexuality empowers female characters, but if observed profoundly, they celebrate the commodification of women’s body. Frequently revolving around sex and consumption, it celebrates female agency through its discernment that women in such movies are provided the capacity to “have it all” (Genz, 98). Drawing upon Levy’s notion of “Female Chauvinistic Pigs” and McRobbie’s notion of “double entanglement”, the focus is that this apparent empowerment is hollow for celluloid females; their actions incite cultural anxieties about the ways women are to be represented and simply reinforce the patriarchal norms that envisage women as objects. Keywords: Raunch culture, post-feminism, sexuality, consumption, chauvinistic Since early twentieth century, female sexual objectification has become a subject of feminist debate. The sexual revolution of 1960s provided freedom of sexual expression to celluloid females by questioning the power relations that existed between both the sexes. It also freed individuals from the moral and legal confines. Criticizing this sexual emancipation, one of the feminist critics, Shulamith Firestone observes that due to this liberation “women have been persuaded to shed their armour under the guise of sexual revolution” (Firestone, 2003, p.
