Recommended: Influence of the Hindi film industry

From mid 1990s onwards, I started watching films in a small theater situated in my hometown. Often when I got extra pocket money from parents, I managed to watch movies in grander theaters leaving town to watch the same film that was playing there. I was deeply fascinated with these movie going experiences as Cinema Theater had this sorcery of creating a whole new different environment in a building that separates it from the outer world. These memories of movie going were addicting for me and this must be the reason why I still go to see theaters when my laptop hard disk is packed with movies. In 2015, I joined Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi for Post-graduation. This made me move from Trivandrum to New Delhi “The Capital of India”, where the filmmakers of the country saw their films. From what I have read, cinema always had a special place in the hearts of Delhi’s art lovers and it once reflected in the grandeur of its theaters. Delhi’s theater industry also continues to be among the India’s most prominent. After knowing all this, I was waiting to experience the Cinemas of Delhi as well. The film review exercise came as a reason for me to fulfill my wish. I chose ‘Talvar’ as the movie to watch and review. It came out as the consequence of my …show more content…

Except the occasional murmurs and laughs, the audience where deeply absorbed with pace of movie. The soundtrack had a riveting effect and I almost had chills while hearing the song ’Insaaf’ just before the interval. One of the biggest laughs happened in the theater, in the scene where a cop breaks into a loud folk song to help his colleagues to investigate the noise levels air- conditioner and when Officer Paul (Atul Kumar) talks about “dharm-pracharak asana”, Hindi translation of missionary position relating what happened in the

    People have been trying to come up with solutions to threatening epidemics from many years. There was a famine in Ireland that killed many people. The poor people of Ireland could not support their families, which made them go to extreme measures. In order to survive, women and children were forced to beg for food to prevent them from starving to death. Jonathan Swift proposes a solution to this epidemic in A Modest Proposal. Swift states that the poor Irish should sell their children as if they were cattle, or better yet, eat the children themselves. Swift uses a mocking tone in order to effectively convey that he does not actually support cannibalism, but rather uses it as metaphor to describe the harsh times of Ireland.

    In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

    This essay explains the journey of Bollywood (Indian Film Industry) and how it has changed itself and its audience’s perspective on Hindi Cinema. Applying the key features from Dennis McQuail’s “Normative Theory”, the relationship between Bollywood and the audience, controlled by the censorship board will be explained; and how both, the Bollywood industry and Censor Board are responsible for bringing changes to each other in the terms of rules, regulations, audience’s attitudes and their demands, in every period of time. According to McQuail (2010), a normative theory is adopted to clear the confusion prevailing in the information industry, that has become self-centred in modern days; and also to examine if the information created is to serve own self or the government. There have been endless debates by the contrasting individual ideas on how the media should be controlled from displaying unethical contents, and normative theory helps in guiding the individuals (theorists, writers, society and general public) to produce suggestions and ideas that media should follow, for the benefit of society and media (McQuail, 2010). The Indian Film Industry was established in 1913 but began to be known in 1920 (Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, 2010). Bollywood, since then, was and is still controlled by the censor board, however the censor board went through a few transformations, from being independently owned by police heads of every region, to Bombay Board of Film Censors, and finally to the Central Board of Film Censors in 1952 (Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, 2010). Cinema rules were reedited in 1983 and the censor board was re-named to the Central board of Film Certification (Indian Ministr...

    Movies take us inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves and to places different from our routine surroundings. As humans, we always seek enlargement of our being and wanted to be more than ourselves. Each one of us, by nature, sees the world with a perspective and selectivity different from others. But, we want to see the world through other’s eyes; imagine with other’s imaginations; feel with other’s hearts, at a same time as with our own. Movies offer us a window onto the wider world, broadening our perspective and opening our eyes to new wonders.
