“Dil Se” was, likely, the most sexually charged movie that we watched in class. The dancing is “hot” and close, and the desire that the characters feel for each other is much less tied to love and marriage as to sex and desperation. While a great deal is made of Shahrukh Khan’s newfound buffness and […]

by Radhika Parekh All actresses in Bollywood are supposed to be ‘attractive’ or at least appealing to audiences. However, sometimes I feel that bollywood sets a kind of standard of beauty for women. We briefly touched on this subject in class. An example of this would be Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She is […]

Ra. One is a film about a man who makes a video game to impress his son, only to see the game’s villain come alive and murder him, only to, after that, see his body reincarnated as the game’s hero who also comes to life and fights to save his creators life. Classic Bollywood. The […]

“Guide” contains a great deal of religious imagery. Near the beginning of the film, the audience is repeatedly told about the statues in the excavation. The way the excavation is described, it would seem obvious that the statues will be religious, perhaps even idols. We see them relatively soon, but when they are shown, they […]

One of my favorite moments from Deewar was the fight scene between Vijay and about 8 of the bad guys. They enter into a warehouse only to find Vijay patiently waiting for them, and the sequence that follows is awesome, ridiculous, and so 1970s that it hurts. MB Shetty does an admirable job of choreographing […]

“Dil Bole Haddippa!” is a lively piece of froth, noticeably less concerned with plot and dialogue than the other films we watched in class. It is extremely colourful, sometimes jarringly so, and and the viewer is almost never without some flash of colour, most often in the film’s signature blend of orange, yellow, and pink. […]

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na or Whether you know it or not represents just about all the obvious Bollywood norms and may in fact be the most over the top exaggerated movie I have seen thus far. But I have to say, Abbas Tyrewala nailed it. The movie does a fantastic job telling the generic […]

I did not like Kaminey very much. I think this is due, in large part, to the many stylistic differences one finds between it and its contemporaries. Put bluntly: it just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what prompted the shift to a more “realistic” film, but in my opinion too many changes were made all at […]

by Radhika Parekh We have seen Priyanka Chopra as Sweety, a young Maharashtrian college girl in Kamiey. In early 2012, Priyanka made her singing debut with an international song called ‘In my city’. She had fulfilled her father Dr Ashok Chopra’s long cherished dream of becoming a singer. “My parents were very emotional when they […]
