| Course Description | India is the world's largest film-producing nation, releasing over 900 films every year. Indian film industry remains an exceptional industry, holding its own against Hollywood's expansion into markets like India. This course provides a historical and thematic introduction to different forms of Indian cinema, with a particular focus on Bombay cinema or Hindi language popular Indian cinema. Starting with late colonization in the 1940s, and moving chronologically through the decades to the present, we will explore various genres within Indian cinema, and examine the way in which Indian cinema addresses the socio-political issues of caste, class, religion, and gender, as it engages with the events and experiences that shape the cultural, social, and political realities of modern South Asia. |
