Does Bollywood reflect Indian

society? • Indian society is

very hierarchical.• it is not so simple

for barriers between people with different backgrounds who love each other to be overcome as in the movies.

Bollywood polluting Indian culture by degrading womenBollywood is a cancer.While rape is never encouraged in movies, eve-teasing seems to have Bollywood’s blessing.

Dil Hai Hindustani

Mera Joota hai Japani, Yeh patloon Englishtani, Sar par lal topi Russi Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani.

Bollywood Music• Before

• In late 90’s all songs were sung in hindi language only.

• Sitar, tabla, bansuri were only used to compose the song.

• After• Nowadays they have

been replaced by english songs.

• Every song is incomplete without giving a western touch to it.

• Lyrics had a true meaning of every in song

• Indian classical music like qawwali, bhangra, ghazals and dance forms were the essentials of old bollywood movies.

• Most of the songs aren’t related with the story and also most of them don’t have any meaning.

• Now they take elements of rap, hip hop, techno beats and fuse them together to compose the song.

IMPACT OF WESTERN CULTURE ON BOLLYWOOD MOVIES

• Western culture has brought too many changes on bollywood movies.

• For instance, movies in 80’s used to show decent scenes between actor and actress, but today’s bollywood movie shows intimate scenes between an actor and an actress which gives bad impact on today’s generation.

DRESSING IN 80’s• In 80’s bollywood actress

were given respect and so they were made to wear sarees to show Indian culture.

• It is truly said that a women looks beautiful in traditional Indian attire like sarees and ghagracholi.

DRESSING IN 2014 • Nowadays actress in

bollywood are made to wear clothes with huge cuts and sleeves and body exposed clothes.

• Actors of today’s generation are so bold and passionate about their work that they can do anything to fulfill their dreams.

Bollywood Stories

• The old bollywood films presented the original and real culture of India.

• In old films the backdrop of any scene or song was a location form our country where as in some latest movies they are either shot in foreign land or some parts are.

• Where presence of our rich culture is absent.

• Now a days there is some sort of trend in bollywood movies where the hero is surrounded by 50-60 enemies and he defeats them all which even a highly trained black belt can’t do and hero doing some special effects stunts. These all our brainless young supper heroes try and land up in hospital.

• There is also a lot of vulgarity in movies and no meaning to the film.

• Due to modernization and western culture there is a great loss of Indian culture in bollywood movies.
