Sources disagree on the exact definition of the term Bollywood. It is thought that the term ‘Bollywood’ was first used by a journalist in the 70s to describe one of the styles of film made by India’s flourishing film industry.

Generally the term refers to films produced by the (formerly Bombay) film industry. These films are primarily in Hindi language and include song and dance sequences as an integral part of the plot. The films differ from musicals in that there is usually no attempt to realistically include song and dance, instead these devices are used in fantasy sequences to show what characters are thinking and feel- ing. The films combine more than one genre often encom- passing comedy, action, romance and drama to appeal to a wide audience.

Ask students to conduct further research using the web- sites listed and to complete the Table 5. http://atomvic.org/spicing-up-your-life-teaching-bolly- wood-in-the-classroom/ http://studiesofasiaunits.wikispaces.com/Bollywood http://www.thebollywoodticket.com/bollywood/beginner. html

After the research has been completed conduct a class discussion/debate about the style of the film.

-- What codes and conventions does the film use? -- Is it stylistically conventional or unconventional? -- How might cultural contexts impact upon the viewer’s reaction to the film? -- Develop, script and produce your own short film in a style similar to the film.

5. PLOT/STORY

Analyse the plot and story of the film by completing these questions:

-- Where is the story set? Analyse the choices made in relation to the different settings in the film. -- What conflicts do the central characters face? How do they deal with these conflicts? -- How are the major conflicts in the story introduced? -- How is the dramatic confrontation set up as the film draws to its close? -- What is the climax of the film? -- Make a comment on the denouement. What do you © ATOM 2017 think the ending of the film suggests will happen?

Colloquial expres- sions are unique to different English speaking countries and even states within Australia.

Watch the clip below for examples of colloquial language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDb_WsAt_Z0

Class discussion:

-- Do you use the type of language shown in the film? Do you know anyone who does? -- What are some colloquial phrases you and your friends use? Brainstorm at least 5 as a group and then report back to the class. -- Choose an issue you feel passionate about and write a reflective piece of writing (200-300 words) using infor- mal language that feels natural to you. -- After completing the reflective piece work with a part- ner to edit it and rewrite it into a formal speech to be delivered to the class. -- Following the formal presentations discuss how the use of language changes depending on audience and © ATOM 2017 environment.
