Hi, do you think there’s a divide in the way we consume media as Indians in India and Indian diaspora outside India? Like on one hand, I know that since the Indian diaspora has not been represented in Hollywood or western cinema, turning towards old Indian cinema (especially the 90s) and being comforted is understandable but on the other side, the number of people just on this site who keep romanticising Padmavati or old movies like DDLJ is a little annoying? Like sure, 25 years ago DDLJ may have been romantic but today any woman who would watch it would find it creepy on many levels. I get that old movies will be problematic because of “the times” but that doesn’t mean they need to be romanticised today? It’s also very annoying how the movies that are always acknowledged are terrible period dramas like all of SLB’s movies or Kalank (that was bad) but not movies like Pink or Thappad or Ludo or Pagglait like there are so many new movies that are so good in terms of content and their message. In the same breadth, there’s also this weird obsession with the same 5 light skinned actresses? Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone etc. and maybe I’m biased because the current generation of mainstream actors like Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Pandey are just not that good in their craft but I’m still seeing them be idolised for their craft and not actresses like Konkona Sen Sharma, Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari and so many more. Sorry for dumping this on you - you don’t have to respond, just wanted to know what you think about this.

You make some fair points. I've myself always been singularly neutral about this perceived "divide" between commercial and indie cinema; if a film is good I'll watch it, whether it centers around societal issues or over the usual guy and girl falling in love (think of movies like Jab We Met that have a very run-of-the-mill storyline but near-perfect execution). Also, for a country like ours, Bollywood is often a very important source of escapism and idyllic bliss- say, perhaps, my parents who have tough, bleary, underpaying jobs as healthcare workers; they return home late at night to watch Katrina Kaif in a comedy- not a film about child marriage or marital discord....and we should see the importance of both sides without immediately dismissing one as qualitatively inferior.

But like yeah. SLB movies are hollow substantially. not our fault people think "India" means tanishq jewellery and only the north/north-west.

That being said, I think it's natural to be irritated when people perceive Bollywood as this cesspool of tacky garish screenplays and loads of dramatic songs in mustard fields, while just ignoring the vast plethora of problems that some of these so-called iconic Hindi films have perpetuated, and also sidelining all the good, less mainstream projects. As for the actors discourse, the current generation of nepo-kids are mediocre af, absolutely agreed. But there's really nothing you can do about A listers; star power does count and will continue to count forever in showbiz, like it or not (not a contemporary matter btw, look at the Kapoors, look at Suchitra Sen ffs) and I don't want to go on a tangent about my complicated take on charisma and opportunity.

Finally, I take greater issue with people thinking the end-all representation of strong brown women are the light skinned elite A-lister actresses, however I think it's important to hate the game and not hate the gamer (especially in a complex scenario like the Indian movie industry, which is pretty shitty to women, even the women who supposedly make it big). I have seen multiple posts which somehow think the problem of colourism is rooted in one or two celebrities instead of societal beauty standards and the way big corporations and the indian govt. pay the celebrities to endorse products and ideas that perpetuate terribly regressive stances (from fairness creams to right-wing propaganda, lol). What I'm trying to get at is: it's not really a black-and-white job of indie good, big budget blockbuster bad, if we need to criticise bollywood, the conversation won't be very simple or straightforward.

Male rhinoplasty at Verygood Plastic Surgery 🙆🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️. . A study showed that people first look just to the left of the center of the nose and then to the center of the nose when trying to determine if a face is one they have seen recently. These two visual “fixations” near the center of the nose are all you need in order to determine if a face is one that you have seen just a few minutes before. Hump nose makes one look angry and older than actual age. Don't you want to have smooth,define and natural nose?. . . 😍Ask us anything about plastic surgery!💘. .
