Kal Ho Na Ho trailer



This film is a great example of the intermingling of western influences with a conventional bollywood narrative. The entire film is set in New York, the first city that springs to anyone's mind at the mention of Western locations. Yet the trailer also shows shots of traditional dancing with colourful costumes that could fit into any conventional bollywood film. In terms of the story-line the film is based on the traditional love triangle interspersed with the issues of an extended family.
This film is also an interesting case study for my project as it seems to be aimed just as much towards an indian audience living in the west as the national indian population. The setting, the costumes shown through most of the film, the amount of English present in the dialouge, and some of the issues represented in the film can be related to by south asians living in countries like the UK and the US.
