What forms of western culture can be found in the films

  • Increasingly more and more dialogue in english
  • Even title, trailer text/ narrator voice, credits in english 
  • Little representation of indian culture/ religion through:
  • Costumes - which are mostly western in contemporary films 
  • Narrative elements: less family orientated, more focus on individual life
  • Love life focus changed from marriage to relationships outside of marriage
  • Less focus on Hinduism, quite a lot of characters in modern films are shown to be from christian families.
  • Indian film narratives that are highly 'influenced' by particular hollywood films. e.g. Unfaithful and Murder.
  • other films that have only elements of hollywood films e.g matrix style action in 'Main hoon na"  
  • more and more sophisticated sfx
  • Tendency to film abroad- european countries and us especially, whichever is more popular/
  • well-known with population at the time
