This is an engaging introduction to a fascinating national cinema that is little known in the west.It is the first survey both to cover the full range of Indian film -- popular, artistic and regional -- and to provide the historical and cultural dimensions to enable the reader appreciate its distinctive forms.This book offers both general readers and students of film a succinct and informative guide to the key developments, themes, films and figures of Indian film; and the necessary background to understand India and its influences."Bollywood" and India s regional filmmakers produce more films than any other country. While it has remained peripheral to western cinema buffs, Indian popular film wields immense influence as the main form of entertainment enjoyed by Indian audiences and the Indian Diaspora, who represent at least a sixth of the world s population. The authors begin with an overview of the historical development of Indian cinema, its key characteristics and points of distinctiveness; and then explore the themes and concerns which are pertinent to a critical understanding, through discussion of a wide range of films. A key chapter considers how women are represented, and represent themselves, on screen.Covering the nine decades of Indian cinema, their range of reference includes both films which have achieved classic status, such as Mother India, Awaara and Sholay, and the lesser known films which are recognized landmarks in the development of the industry. They equally embrace recent developments and the contributions of British Asian filmmakers.The book includes a glossary of Indian terms.

The book reviews nine decades of Indian popular cinema and examines its immense influence on people in India and its diaspora. Since it was published in 1998, Indian film has developed in new directions. As films today vie with Indian soap operas for popularity, film making in India has acquired 'industry status' and consequently has greater accountability to its public. All this is reflected in this new and extensively revised edition of "Indian Popular Cinema". It tracks the rise of "designer cinema," reviews the increasingly significant Tamil cinema, and considers films made by Indians in the diaspora.

Although Indian popular cinema has a long history and is familiar to audiences around the world, it has rarely been systematically studied. This book offers the first detailed account of the popular film as it has grown and changed during the tumultuous decades of Indian nationhood. The study focuses on the cinema’s characteristic forms, its range of meanings and pleasures, and, above all, its ideological construction of Indian national identity. Informed by theoretical developments in film theory, cultural studies, postcolonial discourse, and “Third World” cinema, the book identifies the major genres and movements within Bombay cinema since Independence and uses them to enter larger cultural debates about questions of identity, authenticity, citizenship, and collectivity. Chakravarty examines numerous films of the period, including Guide (Vijay Anand, 1965), Shri 420 [The gentleman cheat] (Raj Kapoor, 1955), and Bhumika [The role] (Shyam Benegal, 1977). She shows how “imperso-nation,” played out in masquerade and disguise, has characterized the representation of national identity in popular films, so that concerns and conflicts over class, communal, and regional differences are obsessively evoked, explored, and neutralized. These findings will be of interest to film and area specialists, as well as general readers in film studies.

This book is an exploration of the masala film. This popular cinema has dominated mass culture in India ever since its origins and has remarkable popularity with South Asians living outside India as well. To understand the interrelationship between the industrial and the ideological, the political economy of the film industry in India is examined and combined with a cultural analysis of popular cinema. Specifically, the author looks at the industrial organization and structure in which the world's largest film industry turns out nearly 800 features films a year and the public and private forces that shape the structural conditions in which films are consumed and produced. Also discussed are policies related to production, exhibition, and distribution of films in India and abroad; the impact of new technologies; censorship and funding; consumption and popularity; and narrative strategies and cinematic devices.

"Based on a foundation of cultural theory and scholarship, the author explores a variety of issues related to race, culture and death ritual practices by immersing himself in the rich narratives and sources of information gleaned from his in-depth interviews with funeral directors, corporate funeral home representatives, clergy and individuals who have recently lost a loved one. Additionally, he has observed numerous funeral and burial services and cemetery landscapes, and has examined federal and state public policies surrounding burial and disposal, as well as other forms of death-related discourse. Ultimately, the book describes how death rituals both manifest and reinforce different cultural identities, and suggests that perhaps, it is through the experience of death that we might find the most enduring possibilities for promoting greater cultural understanding by maintaining rather than eliminating such differences."--BOOK JACKET.
