    The popularity of Bollywood produced films have steadily increased over the years in Southeast Asia with the economic reforms of the 1990s in India. For all I know, most people in the West are aware of the term with a shallow understanding to it with a few people who have actually studied the facts behind it. In the process of selecting my interviewees, the individuals who decided to proceed with the interview held very broad, generalist views on the first two questions. Many of them have never had the opportunity to experience a Bollywood film. The closest they would consider to be “Bollywood-esque” is Slumdog Millionare.…

    Now in a culture strongly influenced by technology, communicating with an individual across the world is simple with the free program Skype. Also, travelling is becoming more popular; I have visited both of my grandparent’s home countries before either of my parents. Living in Canada, going to the University of Toronto, I see different cultures living, learning, and interacting together in one community. We are living in a very globalized world. Many would believe globalization is a wonderful term, yet the definition presents a few negatives. Globalization can bring changes that stray away from cultures deep traditions. For example, in the article “The Globalization of Bollywood: An Ethnography of Non-Elite Audiences in India”, it talks about how Bollywood films are currently influenced by Western themes and cultures. As result, the globalization of Bollywood is slowly diminishing India’s unique culture and film genre. With Bollywood turning Hollywood, it is believable that Western media may be directing several countries in a linear perspective. However, the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” portrayed the positives of globalization. Although Bollywood has strayed away from its original roots, “Slumdog Millionaire” brings back the excitement of Bollywood traditions through a U.K. production. Furthermore, the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” falls under a drama-romance category, but with the heavy Bollywood influence the film brings a relief from popular western themes.…

    Robert Koehler’s review on Slumdog Millionaire talks about how the film failed to touch upon the problems or culture that are truly present in India today. Rather it is, “Boyle’s feverish, woozy, drunken, and thoroughly contrived picaresque also conveniently packages misperceptions about India (and the East) that continue to support the dominant Western view of the subcontinent,” as Koehler states in his thesis statement. He continues in his paper to talk about how Boyle has created a skewed view on India that takes advantage of the westernization happening in India, but over exaggerates and glamorizes many aspects…

    Indian cinema has prided itself on being a sole distraction and leisure industry for nearly a century, in a country where allied entertainment forms like music or the fashion industry are subservient to the glamour that cinema and its stars bring.From rock chic to glamour, to dress and design, creating indelible images and daily references, business, politics and sports, travel destinations and colloquialisms, violence and sexuality, hero-worshipping and icon-making, Indian cinema had and continues to provide templates and set trends.…
