Stereotypes in Bollywood

Bollywood has been a very strong influence on the mainstream public for a long span of time. There were times when a particular dress worn by the lead actress was out in the market the next day. Trivial personality traits like hairstyles, dance moves, eye color, dialogues, luxury items etc were copied and part of the day to day regime. Bollywood was treated like a class that the common public wanted to achieve. Bollywood is a trend setter and has the power to influence people over good, changing thoughts like women education, sometimes bad, and morally incorrect things or behaviours as well. Well, not everything about bollywood was positive. Bollywood has not always given patriotic, revolutionary or powerful films.  It seems over the years that bollywood had enough potential to teach a generation. But instead of driving people out of the misogynist, patriarchal and stereotypical nation, Bollywood flooded it with other unreasonable stereotypes. Here we are looking at the stereotype that

Maqbool

  Maqbool A film by Kaleidoscope Entertainment Pvt. Ltd Watch time- 2 hours 41 minutes Available on- Disney+Hotstar, YouTube  Rating- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Gupta (she/her) (@maggu_3050) Maqbool 2004 Cast- Irfan Khan, Tabu By Vishal Bhardwaj Genre- Literary Prerequisites- have walnuts! Because the movie is tougher to crack. The most important question throughout the film was  Nimmi- Miyan, our love was pure, wasn't it ..? Maqbool- yes our love was pure Believe me Nimmi asks the hardest question here. How far is it to fall in love? Till what end is true love? What are the limits of love? Who is the bad one in the story?  Maqbool leaves me with a new definition of love. Which is pretty strange! It is deep. It is confusing and it is beyond...... Maqbool is a film based on the literary work "Macbeth" of Shakespeare. Maqbool truly holds the drama, tension and heavy work of storyline along. The starting 40 mins of the film

Shershaah 2021 film

Shershaah Review   A Film by Dharma Productions & Kaash Entertainment Watch time- 135 minutes (2 hours 15 mins) Available on- Amazon Prime Video Rating- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genre- Feature Film Lead- Siddharath Malhotra, Kiara Advani Prerequisites- Tissue Box to wipe away your tears   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Gupta (she/her) (@maggu_3050)   I liked how there were no details revealed about the film’s most interesting part In its trailer and song.  Nor the album had any insights. It had just a glimpse of the sweet moments of Cpt. Batra’s life, instead of his dedicated on-duty scenes. The lead has beautifully pulled out Cpt. Batra’s depiction before he joined the forces. Well, even though the other people I have asked say Vicky Kaushal would have been more apt choice for the movie. But I would argue that Cpt. Batra had a different built than Kaushal, Malhotra was an amazingly matched portrayal in looks as well as in the valour he depicted. The visual

It is a chemical present in onions that makes you cry!!! Why is it 50-50? Because though you are mocking a nation (North Korea) 70 percent of the time, it is funny. It is a typical bollywood style K-Drama. In short lets say CLOY is bollywood in kimchi flavour. *Wink* It is an adventure sequence of a filthy rich girl who lands into an ancient enemy land (North Korea). Why Is it ancient? Well, they depict it as a place where….. you have No INTERNETTTT!!!  Hello, we are in the 21st century…. What are you doing by chopping off your people from connectivity?

CROODS

CROODS   A transition of Cave people into traveller View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Gupta (she/her) (@maggu_3050) I like how new and exciting every thing is... The Croods take the audience with it towards exploring the surroundings. Crood means behavior of a being because of safety and satisfaction. Eep, is a character who defies this law and each day before sunset finds for a new meaning of her existence. When once she wanders at night, she happens to discover fire! And Guy... Her response to fire is so real. This story is a wonderful creation. And making it into a CGI movie is like giving electricity to the Cavemen.

SHREK

 SHREK View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Gupta (she/her) (@maggu_3050) 'You are beautiful' said Shrek to the ugly princess Fiona....(closing the fairy tale book) 😌😌😌 This is a very beautiful lesson of life that is imparted so intricately into humankind. This animation is taking the audience to feel themselves in the swamp of the ogre! The donkey is a character that resembles one less acknowledged friend in real life. This fairytale was a little different, instead of a handsome prince an ogre rescues the princess. And Yes, the princess is ugly sometimes. And they fall in love. The curse isn't physical but sewn into the mind deep. It breaks when the princess and ogre, true lovers kiss each other. The beast that guards the princess away too helps them get together. This isn't a regular fairy tale. Enjoy with popcorns 😌😌

Reader's Galore   Book Recommendations for all seasons I always wondered if I had someone to guide me through the books to read. How much time I would have saved? How easily would I have discovered which soups I want to swim through?  Sometimes reading something off your genre is fascinating.  Sometimes you want to stick in the good old days.  Sometimes you wish to be unsure about what comes next.  Sometimes you desperately want things to happen. Fun reading begins when you start arguing with the author. You disagree on certain elements. Or can't take the death of your beloved character. The author might not have put put enough reasons to believe in a particular sequence in the series of the story. Sometimes you are happy with them.  Sometimes you want to sit and tutor the author on how the character you have understood should behave.  These are the perks of reading.
