Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Weeks 16 and 17, 2008, at the University of Kent. This week’s lecture delivered by Dr. Catherine Grant for Introduction to Narrative Cinema 2: World Cinema is titled “Cinema as Entertainment: Hindi Cinema as Case Study”.
These are the aims of my subsequent seminar:
• look at Hindi Cinema as an entertainment industry, concentrating on the musical drama;
• explore Richard Dyer’s ideas on the musical and its utopian sensibility;
• examine the role of imagination and conflicts in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).
