i love my india
from the film pardes .
pardes - (with making of film) bollywood dvd - shah rukh khan, mahima choudhary .
the film pardes is a love story about people and a love story about india. released in 1997, the film both opens and closes with the title :

pardes was a three hour propaganda about the sanskari - ness of india by dissing every other culture .
chorus: ganga why are you going to pardes (foreign land), leaving your own desh (country) .

pardes
does suffer from some challengingly old - fashioned viewpoints, which i' m sure are more difficult to take as a non - native viewer. those, coupled with an overall datedness make
pardes
not among my favorites .
. while the academic study of
film and religion
as a subfield within religious studies has only come of age since the late 1980s, the connection between film and religion is as old as film itself. as film theorist andr
tabun sutradhar composed the film' s music. several lyricists wrote for the film, including zameer kazmi and sameer .
at such a time, back in 1997, subhash ghai released pardes, in the year that marked 50 years of indian independence .

like when i watched pardes i asked my mum is this how it is in india, how it’s shown in the film. sometimes she agrees with the film, at other times she doesn’t. if she doesn’t then i’ll just take it in for myself and it’s interesting to see how they portray india and indian things. (p. 73 )
it is not only the content of film that connects film and religion, for as a number of critics have observed, one can find religious interests and implications in the formal style of film, as well as in the cinematic experience of viewing film. as another early film critic and director, jean epstein, once said ,
i would even go so far as to say that the cinema is polytheistic and theogonic
( abel, 1988, p. 317). film, and the experience of viewing film, may be religious in and of itself, creating its own gods, goddesses, and myths, and film does not merely represent or reflect an already established religion. so, while not mutually exclusive categories, film studies and religion studies can be usefully divided into three key approaches, and the second half of this entry will examine the various scholarly responses to the connections between film and religion: religion in film, religion as film, and the cinematic experience and ritual .

similar to the dual nation setting of dilwale dulhania le jayenge (1995), pardes (1997) takes a serious look at the lives of westernized non - resident indians (nris) in north america. whereas dilwale dulhania le jayenge was about nris with indian hearts, pardes is about westernized nris .) and hence the meaning of the title -
foreign land

the most awaited film of the year. indra kumar' s fourth film proved he could have a hit without madhuri dixit, the heroine of his earlier three hits ,
but ghai maintains that it is too early in the game to pass a verdict on his movie. he says the film will soon settle down to steady business like his last release, pardes, which picked up after the opening week and went on to become a hit .
sold at rs 17. 5 million the film netted rs 25 million on an average .
and still managed a better opening than either film. but thereafter, it lost out. sold at rs 9 million per territory, the film made rs 15 million per territory .
ghai is quite confident that his film will pick up steam soon and become a hit .
praised victor banerjee' s acting, but said the film was too cliché and unoriginal .

pardes got all the rewards for championing the indian values but it was actually just the music of the film, by nadeem - shravan, that created an impact that still has the ability to make the audience sing along. songs like meri mehbooba, yeh dil deewana became instant hits and can easily be credited as contemporary classics .
the popular feeling of celebrating the golden jubilee of india' s independence was everywhere and bollywood was right at the forefront. jp dutta' s border had created a huge impact already and then, it was pardes' turn .
there are three key scholarly approaches to the relationship between film and religion. the first might be called
religion in film ,
a way of analyzing the religious dimensions of film by focusing primarily on its narrative content .
film as religion
is the second key approach, and is based on formal parallels between the aesthetic styles of film and religious practices. finally, there is an interest in
cinematic experience and ritual ,
where a focus on spectatorship and its relation to ritual takes precedence. these categories often overlap in individual studies, and are charted here for heuristic reasons. the key question that divides these approaches seems to revolve around the location of meaning: is religious meaning found in the subject matter of the film, in the aesthetic form of the film, or in the experience of viewing the film ?

chitchor is a 1976 hindi romantic musical film. the film’s title means “heart stealer” in hindi. the film is a rajshri productions film produced by tarachand barjatya. it is based on a bengali story, chittachakor by subodh ghosh. recently in 2003 main prem ki diwani hoon starring hrithik roshan, kareena kapoor and abhishek bachchan was directed by sooraj r. barjatya based on same storyline. another uncredited remake titled minda poochakku kalyanam released in 1990 in malayalam starring suresh gopi, lizi priyadarshan and mukesh. it has also been remade in telugu as ammayi manasu which stars jayasudha, chandra mohan, kanta rao. a bengali remake by name sedin choitro mas was also made by director prabhat roy. a 1997 movie pardes, by subhash ghai, starring shahrukh khan & mahima chaudhry is also loosely based on this movie .
mahima chaudhry’s innocence in pardes was appreciated by all and even won her a filmfare award for best debut (female). ahe disappeared from the scene for a while in 2008, only to emerge earlier this year, first as the butt of jokes around a swiss bank account controversy and then for her foray into bengali cinema, with the film dark chocolate, where she’ll be playing a character inspired by indrani mukherjee .
ramgopal verma flubbed the formula test. sold at a very high price of 17. 5 million per territory thanks to the sanjay dutt - urmila combination, the film collapsed like a pricked balloon. the film made losses of over rs 10 million per territory .
the study of film and religion became solidified through the decade of the 1990s, as evidenced by the upsurge of publications in the field, the establishment of a program unit on film and religion within the american academy of religion, and the launch of the online journal of religion and film. in many ways reacting to the earlier paradigm that found film and religion only in
serious
art house films, the 1990s witnessed the next wave of film and religion criticism, which self - consciously took popular hollywood film as its primary focus. biblical scholars and theologians began to take a second look at popular culture, and found a wealth of resources in film, particularly in popular film. christian theologians reworked reinhold niebuhr' s and paul tillich' s thoughts on the relation between christianity and culture, and decided that there must be an engagement with culture, with film being one of the cultural expressions par excellence in modern life. the prevalence of the ideas of tillich and niebuhr in film and religion studies, a half - century after their writing, attest to these theologians' keen insights in relating religion and culture, though it probably also attests to the need for new theories of culture, since the culture of the first half of the twentieth century looks less and less like that of the twenty - first .

kabhi haan kabhi naa (1993) srk played the role of a young musician. it was a rare film where the hero played the role of a loser. it is considered one of khan' s best performances, and he has said that it is his favorite film .
from another angle, the religious dimension to film form and style can also be seen in relation to the contemplative emphasis of various religious traditions, and here film becomes a new medium in a long list of visual media, from icons to yantras to thangka paintings, designed to facilitate meditation. francisca cho, for example, discusses the relation of korean buddhist films to a
cultic mode
of viewing heavily dependent on the aesthetic choices made in the making of film (see cho in plate and jasper, 1999). and as with each of the examples given here regarding
film as religion ,
cho' s cultic mode of viewing film implicitly suggests that meaning cannot simply be found in the film form, for there must also be an audience that views the edited juxtapositions, the austere lighting, or the slow movement of actors .
this second wave is also marked by a number of explicitly christian theological studies, in contrast to the tendency to use existentially universal language evident in many of the first - wave publications. studies through the 1990s include the relation of film to christian, and occasionally jewish, understandings of the bible; the relation of film to doctrines of christian theology; and a plethora of works on christ figures in film. while there are a variety of interests indicated in these works, they can be seen collectively through their examination of popular film, by their chiefly christian theological orientation, and ultimately by the ways they see religion in film, paying scant attention to the specificities of the medium or the role of spectatorship .
using these lines, subash ghai made and promoted a film where the sentiment of loving your maatrbhoomi was re - enforced in almost every scene .
the film had a strange storyline, about a wife who sells her husband. but though it flew in the face of convention, the film did well. of course, it could also have something to do with the presence of anil kapoor, sridevi and the sensuous urmila matondkar .

because postmodern, postcolonial life consists of multicultural and interreligious encounters on a regular basis, there is an obvious need to branch out beyond the hollywood centrism evident in a majority of film - and - religion studies in the past. films made outside of hollywood do not conform to the same aesthetic standards that capitalist, industrial film relies upon, and by looking at films made in south america, africa, and asia, for example, and through attention to film form and reception, the student of film and religion begins to see the ways other worlds are visually constructed, not excluding religious worlds .

way before karan johar taught us that “it’s all about loving your parents, ” subhash ghai schooled us well in the belief that it’s all about loving your country. from proudly singing i love my india to hoping, wishing and praying that ganga finds her true bliss with arjun, the 1997 film pardes gave us lots of special moments and more. but almost 20 years down the line, where can we find the cast members of this somewhat patriotic love saga now? let’s find out…

while pardes focuses on the culture clash between nris and those living in india, it also highlights the divide between rich and poor. ganga' s family is poor in money (compared to u. s. standards), but rich in family and land and love. rajiv' s family is rich in money and possessions, but poor in love and truth. near the end of the film, kishorilal confronts arjun and asks for the truth about his relationship with ganga. arjun responds ,
pardes means foreign land. this film was released in 1997. shah rukh khan plays the role of arjun saagar. a wealthy indian man (amrish puri) raises his son (apoorva agnihotri) in america, but wants his son to marry a native girl from india. he arranges a marriage for his son. he sends his foster son (shah rukh khan) to india to make arrangements for the marriage. arjun (shah rukh khan) speaks favorably of his
brother
( apoorva agnihotri). however apoorva agnihotri' s character is not good. the young indian girl (mahima chaudhary) comes to america and finds it difficult to adjust to the

whether a film plot is based on a messiah, a saint, a bodhisattva, a pilgrimage, a reenactment of a sacred text, or whether religious performances are displayed in documentary film, religion shows up in film on a regular basis. this way of thinking about the relation between film and religion seems to be the most apparent to the textual and narrative bias of most religious studies, and it has therefore become the most prominent method of examining the relationship. as with so much of the study of religion itself, a vast majority of these studies have been based in christian theology and display a euro - american outlook .

times (often in seasonal cycles) and in special places (whether the living room of the family home or in the film theater) in which there is an emphasis on a communal experience and on the aesthetics of seeing and listening (and usually eating as well), and on interacting with other viewers and with the film. whatever else a ritual is, it certainly aims to be an activity that promotes attentiveness and sensual focus, and film form enables just that .

which is a critical point of interrogation for the scholar of religion. while theorists of film and religion continually mention the importance of audience reception, very little work has been done in this area. scholars often theorize about the effect of editing, for example, but seldom do they do any ethnographic work to find out how audiences actually do react. more complicated still would be a study that gauged the responses to a particular film in varying locations, times, and cultures, thereby reorienting the location of the meaning of film to the cinematic event .

bollywood (hindi cinema) has had an amazing impact upon cinema audiences as well as scholars of film studies outside of india. arguably, hindi cinema has always provided a nostalgic link to the indian diaspora scattered around the world (manas ray, 2000), but it is only recently that western audiences, film studies scholars and film critics, (who until recently described the genre somewhat negatively, and in some ways looked down upon the hindi cinema industry), have turned their attention to bollywood. until this period, it was predominantly films from the ‘parallel cinema’ in india, (screened in art - house cinemas in western europe and north america) that received attention and in some cases awards in the west. a noteworthy development occurred in 2001 when bollywood was recognised as an industry in india. the campaigning groups were the film federation and lobby groups who demanded legal status for the film industry under the industrial dispute act of 1947. this meant that the film industry that was previously privately funded could now be funded by national banks. this period marked the new era in hindi cinema.
