Conjugations : Marriage and Form in New Bollywood Cinema / Sangita Gopal. - 1 online resource (xv, 242 pages) : illustrations - South Asia across the disciplines . - South Asia across the disciplines. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: Conjugating new Bollywood -- When the music's over: a history of the romantic duet -- Family matters: affect, authority, and the codification of Hindi cinema -- Fearful habitations: upward mobility and the horror genre -- Conjugal assembly: mulitplex, multiplot, and the reconfigured social film -- Bollywood local: conjugal rearrangement in regional cinema -- Conclusion: New Bollywood and its others.
Bollywood movies have been long known for their colorful song-and-dance numbers and knack for combining drama, comedy, action-adventure, and music. But when India entered the global marketplace in the early 1990s, its film industry transformed radically. Production and distribution of films became regulated, advertising and marketing created a largely middle-class audience, and films began to fit into genres like science fiction and horror. In this bold study of what she names New Bollywood, Sangita Gopal contends that the key to understanding these changes is to analyze films s' evolving treatment of romantic relationships.
