Let's talk about Desi representation again!!

I don't talk about this stuff often but when I do, I have some strong ass opinions

and yes I'm gonna be talking about none other than Pavitr Prabhakar at the end cuz he's just special to me <3

Hollywood is lagging behind on Desi representation

You'd think one of the biggest film industries in the world would be able to represent us properly, considering the fact that we make up the largest group of South-Asian Americans and the second largest group of Asian-Americans in the US, but instead-

Western Television forces Indians to conform to harmful stereotypes

Some of the most popular Desi characters on screen are Raj Koothrappali from the Big Bang Theory, Devi Vishwakumar from Never Have I Ever and Kelly Kapoor from the Office.

Indian men are almost always portrayed as robotics engineers and computer whizzes, but with terrible social intellect, making them seem like awkward nerds.

Indian women are almost always portrayed as "whitewashed", or wanting to appear more western, with zero understanding of their own culture or language along with an unrelenting need for attention from white friends/colleagues.

These are both based on stereotypes that Indian culture is "toxic" and "too traditional" and that Indians are only interested in studies.

Most Desi characters in western media have stories that are solely based around their ethnicity and/or racial stereotypes.

British television actually showcases a lot more representation than Hollywood does

I was watching Polite Society, a movie starring two Pakistani characters as the main leads, and there was a dance scene where both the leads are wearing traditional desi attire. My mom turned over, looked at me, and asked, "Is this Hollywood? It can't be."

And she was right. It's a British movie with British-Pakistani actors.

The reason she didn't believe that it could've been Hollywood was because the dresses the two leads were wearing were traditional and beautiful and the song playing in the background was authentic Hindi music, not some random westernized DJ version of it.

A Hollywood movie would've never dressed up their Desi actors in actually flattering attire (*cough cough the Patel twins from Harry Potter) or have used real, popular Desi music in the background.

You see my point?

It is so uncommon to see well-thought-out Desi representation in TV nowadays, where to see real diversity we have to watch movies made by the same country that colonized us.

Ironic.

British movies/shows with desi leads have far better South Asian representation than anything I've seen in Hollywood recently.

The Hollywood movies starring Indian leads, like Slumdog Millionaire or Bend it like Beckham were filmed in the UK, and because they were filmed in the UK, they had fantastic South Asian representation.

Not only does Hollywood refuse to create shows and movies about real problems that South Asians face, but they also don't cast South Asian actors in good roles.

When's the last time you saw a South Asian actor playing a character that wasn't a walking stereotype? When's the last time you saw a South Asian actor playing a character that was a genuine part of the story rather than just comedic relief or a random smart kid in the classroom?

Not often, right?

Me, personally, I didn't grow up with a lot of South Asian characters or actors in shows/movies that I watched. In fact, every time someone even close to my skin color showed up on TV, I was on the edge of my seat because it was just so rare to see it.

This is why representation matters.

You've heard about all the young girls with braids being so excited when the new little mermaid with Halle Bailey came out. Well, us desi kids wanted that too.

I wanted to see a Telugu speaking girl with wavy hair and dark skin who would wear traditional clothing to Desi get-togethers and parties, go to the temple with her family, eat vegetarian Indian meals, etc...

I wanted to see a character who was a representation of me and my experiences as an Indian-American. I wanted to see a character that was at least a representation of Indians or just South Asians in general.

Instead, we were given characters that ridiculed their own culture, were extreme stereotypes and furthered the existence of casual racism in western society today. So many Desi kids experience small acts of racism on a daily basis because people have been so desensitized to the existence of these stereotypes.

Telling South Asians that their culture is a joke and feeding non-asian children media which pokes fun at other cultures is harmful, not only to us South Asians but also communities that could end up being targeted next.

Pavitr Prabhakar; Representation Matters

If you've been following me or if we're mutuals, you probably know I have a tiny obsession with Pavitr Prabhakar. But why?

Because of all the reasons I just listed.

There are few South Asian characters us Desis can look up to these days, and Pavitr Prabhakar is one of the maybe two or three characters who have great writing, magnificent representation, and overall a fun vibe.

He's likable, funny, smart and best of all, unapologetically Desi.

He's just like all the other side characters, with a little bit of his own culture mixed in. He's not being shoved down our throats to further an agenda about fake diversity, he's not a walking stereotype and best of all, he was designed by Indian creators.

He's refreshing and exciting to follow in a world full of a demand for half-hearted representations and the people who created him were obviously putting their hearts and souls into it.

He's awoken a love for Indian culture amongst, not only Desi children themselves but also among westerners who, prior to this, had thought of India as a "3rd world" country, because that's the agenda that Hollywood pushes onto many South Asian countries today.

WE LOVE PAVITR PRABHAKAR!!

This was kinda all over the place but I just had to get this off my chest <3

5, 6, 8 and 10 please :)

hi! thank you for the ask! i'm from india.

5. favourite song in your native language?

technically, my mother tongue is tamil, and though i do listen to the occasional tamil song i don't consider it to be a language i'm very fluent in. but. it is much easier to pick my favourite song in this language than in hindi. so here goes

absolute fav tamil song of all time = "enna solla pogirai" by shankar mahadevan

6. most hated song in your native language?

man, this is hard. the hindi film industry's been going through this horrible and extremely long phase of remixing old bangers and making them absolutely terrible. the "pasoori" remix was pretty shit. as is almost everything himesh reshamiya composes. although some of his songs are so ridiculous that they end up being good, so he has that going on for him. special mention to "tandoori nights"

8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?

i haven't travelled much outside the country, but i have been mistaken for being pakistani before, BY other indians. within india, people tend to think "i don't look south indian" whatever that means lol

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

this is like being asked to choose my favourite child. i think i'm most partial to using 'madarchod' which plainly means motherfucker, but it rolls off the tongue so much better. i also like 'chutiya' and 'gaandu' quite a bit, but they're more terms of endearments to me than actual insults

“hi, I’m not from the US” ask set

Remembering #KamalAmrohi on his 31st death anniversary (11/02/93).

As a director, he developed a style that combined a stylised direction with minimalist performances. This style was different from the one with expressive acting that was common in the Indian cinema of his period.

Kamal Amrohi was born in Amroha, which was part of British India and is now in Uttar Pradesh, India. He changed his name to Kamal Amrohi later. He was related to two Pakistani writers, Jaun Elia and Rais Amrohvi, as their first cousin. In 1938, Kamal left his hometown to study in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. There, a singer named K. L. Saigal found him and brought him to Mumbai to work in films. He started his film career at Sohrab Modi's film company, Minerva Movietone, and worked on movies like "Jailor," "Pukar," and "Bharosa."

Kamal Amrohi became a film director in 1949 with his first movie "Mahal," which had famous actors Madhubala and Ashok Kumar. This movie was known for its music. He directed only four movies in total, including "Daaera" with Meena Kumari and Nasir Khan, and "Pakeezah," which took a long time to make and was released in 1972. "Pakeezah" is considered a special movie in India, even though it had some flaws. Meena Kumari, who was a famous actress and Kamal's wife, praised "Pakeezah" as Kamal's tribute to her. His last movie was "Razia Sultan" in 1983. He also started making a film called "Majnoon" but it was never finished.

Kamal Amrohi also wrote scripts for other directors and was one of the writers for the famous movie "Mughal-e-Azam" in 1960, which won him an award. His style of directing was known for being different and unique, focusing more on the visual style and less on dramatic acting.

In 1958, he opened a studio named Kamaal Studios, but it closed after three years. He had planned to make another movie called "Aakhri Mughal" but it was never made. Film maker J P Dutta wanted to make this movie in the late 1990s and again in 2007, but it didn't happen. Kamal Amrohi died on February 11, 1993, in Mumbai, 21 years after his wife, Meena Kumari, passed away. He was buried next to her in Mumbai.

Six days after he died, a newspaper in the UK called The Independent wrote about him, saying he was a big figure in the Hindi film industry for over 50 years.

Class politics in the Knives Out franchise

A few weeks ago a friend of mine made a tiktok criticizing an article arguing that Glass Onion is bad anticapitalist media, on the basis that it's not anticapitalist media. Like, yeah, the villains of both films are rich people, but that's more of a plot device than a critique: death among rich folks entails a lot more motive, means, and opportunity for well-obscured murders to have taken place than among poor folks.

(For the record: I love these films and have watched both of them more than once, it's possible and even good to enjoy media with politics that are inconsistent with your own politics sometimes, and the argument I'm making here is definitely not the only legitimate interpretation of the text.)

Spoilers coming obv.

I commented on that video that the Knives Out films can even be read as critical not of wealth, per se, but of class mobility.

The format of both films are a man with an air of longstanding implicit wealth pursuing a career of excellence in his field more-or-less as a leisure activity, paired with a companion who has come into proximity to wealth, but does not desire that wealth, against a collection of horrible wealthy people, all of whom are desperately concerned with maintaining their wealth, and all of whose fortune is traceable to a specific, recent accomplishment of capitalist growth.

The protagonists of Knives Out do their best to perform the affect of old money, but that claim is discredited implicitly by the instability of the whole cast's financial support structure, and Benoit Blanc calls bullshit on it explicitly in the climax:

Ransom: You think I'm not gonna fight to protect my home, our birthright, our ancestral family home? Blanc (laughing): That is hooey. Harlan, he bought this place in the 80s from a Pakistani real estate billionaire.

No such pretense exists among the shitheads in Glass Onion—for all its criticism of the bullshit of tech billionaires, the film absolutely lets Miles Bron have the character trait of being a self-made man who came from nothing that the heroes of tech bro masturbation fantasies all claim, few of them legitimately.¹

The murder victim in both films is the person whose exceptional abilities led to the wealth that all the suspects benefit from, and an interest in which highlights and focuses their character flaws. In this regard, the film deviates from the historical nobility narrative that the lower class is incapable of the kinds of accomplishments that are typical of the nobility—an attitude that has been visibly indefensible for hundreds of years—and instead takes up the more recent narrative that the lower classes just lack the wisdom and moral character to handle wealth. The victims, through their genius, create conditions for explosive wealth, and, through their sentimentality, share that power with the people close to them, who are naturally working-class people whose moral character is destroyed by exposure to fortune. Ultimately they discover that those with whom they have shared their success consider access to that success an inalienable right, and at least one of them in each film feels justified in defending that right by murdering them.

The murderers, thereafter, are each undone by the collaboration of a pair demonstrating rightful and just class dynamics: a noble gentleman, whose contributions consist principally of being present and being exceptional, rarely rising to the level of doing anything apart from telling other people what their roles and responsibilities are; and a member of the working class, so far in both films women of color, who works in a care industry (a nurse, a teacher) and has never aspired to wealth, and who takes action informed by a moral compass premised not on the position that she deserves the wealth at play, but that the suspects don't.

Blanc: I want you to remember something that's very important: you won not by playing the game Harlan's way, but yours. You're a good person. Marta: This family. I should help them, right? Blanc: Well, I have my opinion. But I have a feeling you'll follow your heart.

This all doesn't mean that Rian Johnson is, like, a feudalist, though. His oeuvre doesn't maintain any kind of coherent overarching attitude towards class. Anti class mobility isn't a core theme of The Brothers Bloom, which explicitly valorizes the accomplishment of stealing from rich people for personal gratification, and the opposite position—a rejection of hereditary or institutional criteria for legitimacy in power—is a core thesis of The Last Jedi. I only saw Looper once, a long time ago, but I don't remember any positive portrayal of wealth at all in it. And I'm sure I will watch Brick eventually. Johnson doesn't seem to think of storytelling as a means to an end; he doesn't seem to write with any motive other than doing a good job telling the story he's trying to tell. The politics of his films are whatever they need to be to create the genre that he's working in, and to do something he feels is worth doing with that genre.

Johnson absolutely could've worked in "Miles Bron came from money and lies about it" somehow, and it would've been more true to the storylines of tech billionaires in real life. But it would've added nothing to the story in its capacity as a murder mystery; the only thing to gain from adding that would be to adjust the shades of political implication that you can get from applying the text to reality. The only time I've seen Johnson transparently do things with a film because of their implications outside the text, it was in The Last Jedi, and the implications were on what Star Wars is and is capable of being as a cultural work. It was still about the story—even when the film is a means to an end, to Johnson, it's because the larger story is an end unto itself.

Notes:

The Musk Family emerald mine is an exaggeration but in his childhood Elon Musk belonged to a wealthy family. Bill Gates got the edge he had early in his career by having a huge amount of free access to computer processing time due to his family's academic connections and the private school he attended. Jeff Bezos was born into poverty, but his stepfather, whom his mother married when he was four, was an entrepreneur, and by the time Bezos was starting Amazon his parents could (and did) give him a quarter million dollar startup investment. Steve Jobs did grow up in a working class family; Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak came from somewhat more money, but still in the territory of 'very well-paid working class,' what we sometimes call the middle class in America. To the best of my knowledge, Apple's story is the only one in tech that even borders on resembling the bootstrap fantasy without a thick layer of outright lies spread on top.

tbh i think a star cast for the netflix show seems plausible considering everyone really wants it to be a success but 😭😭😭 im afraid the weakness may lie in going for something we’ve alr seen.. but who knows! the cast is def worth looking forward to if it happens to be real lmao

honestly this cast would've had us salivating had it been an original script. a lot of confusion is coming from the fact that JBHSSL is a popular novel, one that has been rumored to be adapted for screen for YEARS. there's no on who is NOT aware of the main story and its lead characters. so this cast is not making sense of the characters of the story. i keep saying that to justify this cast FI would have to change the script heavily. like she had expanded on Diyar e Dil's story to make it a two generational story told from the beginning unlike the novella where the backstory was revealed through exposition only. but even then, Diyar e Dil didn't introduce any new characters merely expanded on the ones present in the original story in an organic matter. JBHSSL is a different story in a sense that it has time leaps but not of the generational kind. you cannot have an actor play 20 year old Sikandar and then have a different one playing Sikandar in mid-30s. whoever is casted as Sikandar and Zain has to be someone who can convincingly play the characters in their early twenties and then in their mid-30s. with character like Maryam who has a huge backstory that can be expanded to become an entire episode, again, the casting has to be such that the actor can play young university going student and then a woman in her mid-30s.

then there's the thing that Netflix is a platform for mostly fresh faces. oversaturation in Pakistani industry is exhausting now. same faces on TV and film and Zee5 and now on Netflix??? c'mooooonnnnnn. it's boring. where's the freshness???

[sealpup9]

Just letting you know that on the list sub it’s 3 billionaires, one of which is the ceo that owns the sub, the 19 yo son of one of the billionaires and a deep sea explorer. There are no researchers bc it’s not a research expedition.

As more info came out, I've learned a lot about the situation, yeah.

Hamish Harding is a british billionaire and pilot. Shahzada Dawood is a Pakistani billionaire, Sulaiman Dawood is his 19 y/o son. Paul-Henri Nargeolet is a French diver and explorer, one who used to be head of Michigan State University's Center for Maritime & Underwater Resource Management, has worked on films about the Titanic and is a historian of the Titanic. Stockton Rush is a millionaire and CEO of OceanGate, the company that owns the missing submersible and launched this expedition. My thoughts and such still stand, it doesn't matter who these people are, their lives are in danger and the fact that media outlets have gone so far as to treat this as some spectacle (to the point of some putting an 'oxygen run out in X hours' countdown over all of their other news) is despicable and inhumane.

I think it's vile that folks are pointing and laughing at the 'billionaires' when it doesn't matter how much money they paid.

OceanGate has been called a financial scam by two folks who didn't get their money back when their trip was cancelled.

OceanGate was called out many times by employees who spoke out about the safety issues of the vessels (one of which who was fired for doing so).

Other companies in the industry also called out OceanGate's low standards.

OceanGate has admitted that the submersible that is missing presently, Titan, is not 'classed' and therefore does not need to meet safety requirements and standards for groups mitigating industry standards. They claim that "by itself, classing is not sufficient to ensure safety." and would rather focus on ensuring "operators adhere to proper operating procedures and decision-making processes – two areas that are much more important for mitigating risks at sea."

Oddly enough, it was found that their website said "You do not need any previous [diving] experience!" and "You will learn everything you need to know for your dive onboard the expedition vessel, and we will help you prepare for the expedition before you join us on the ship."

OceanGate also lied about partnering with both Boeing and the University of Washington to create, design, test, and engineer the Titan (the current missing submersible.)

Experts stated as far back as 2018 that the submersible was not ready to be launched on expeditions.

In a CBS interview with journalist David Pogue, the OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush said "You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question."

That same journalist (David Pogue) was invited to dive with OceanGate during the summer of 2022, and he stated on twitter that the sub "does not have any kind of beacon like that." (In reference to someone asking if the sub had an emergency beacon of some kind) and that the sub "did indeed get lost for about 5 hours". He was not present on the sub at the time, but on a ship at the surface and during the event he claimed "they shut off the ship’s internet to prevent us from tweeting."

The fact of the matter is, in my humble opinion: a company and their CEO took money from 4 innocent people and brought them down in submersible that had been stated by employees and other companies in the industry to be dangerous. It does not matter how much money a ticket was, it does not matter how much money these people have. What matters is that due to a company's negligence and continual ignoring of safety standards and people calling them out, people are likely going to die.

As of right now, a banging noise has been detected near where the submersible went missing. The air supply is likely going to run out early Thursday morning. I hope they find these people alive.

People need to stop thinking this is some 'burn the rich' gotcha moment. The issue here is "why was a company allowed to get away with such little care for safety and so many issues on their expeditions?" No company should be able to get away with this shit. I don't care if those tickets cost $250,000 or $25. No one deserves to die.

The second people start making excuses for why one person's life is worth more than another is the second they've lost me. Anyone advocating for the death of another human being is despicable. You want to burn the rich? Vote and support more taxes on the rich. Start talking and supporting your neighbors and those in need. You want to fight capitalism at it's source? The source is around you. Start talking to people. Start advocating for equal treatment of your peers. And start thinking about how many corporations get away with shit like OceanGate has that hasn't been called out yet because tragedy hasn't struck.

Mithoon’s Most Iconic Songs: A Playlist for Every Mood

Mithoon Sharma, popularly known as Mithoon, is a name synonymous with soulful Bollywood music. A gifted composer, singer, and lyricist, Mithoon’s career is an inspiring tale of passion, persistence, and creativity. Rising from a family deeply entrenched in Indian classical music, Mithoon has carved a niche for himself in the Indian film industry. His melodies have not only dominated charts but have also left an indelible mark on the hearts of audiences. From his early days of recreating hit songs to becoming the musical genius behind chartbusters like Tum Hi Ho, Mithoon’s journey is one of relentless dedication to his craft.

Early Life and Roots in Music

Born on January 11, 1985, in Mumbai, Mithoon was destined for a musical career, given his rich familial heritage. His grandfather, Pandit Ram Prasad Sharma, was a legendary musician and teacher who trained several celebrated Bollywood composers. His father, Naresh Sharma, was a prominent music arranger in Bollywood, known for his work in over 200 films. Growing up in such an environment, Mithoon was surrounded by the sounds of classical instruments and music theory discussions, which deeply influenced his artistic sensibilities.

From a young age, Mithoon showed an inclination towards music. He began learning various musical instruments under the tutelage of his family members and developed an early understanding of music composition. Despite the expectations that came with his family’s reputation, Mithoon sought to create his own identity. This desire to stand out motivated him to experiment with different musical styles, blending classical traditions with modern soundscapes.

The Early Struggles and Breakthrough

Mithoon’s journey into Bollywood wasn’t without challenges. Though his family legacy opened doors for him, he had to prove his worth in an industry where talent often takes a backseat to connections. His first major project came as a music composer for the recreations of hit Pakistani tracks like Woh Lamhe for the movie Zeher (2005) and Aadat for Kalyug (2005). These songs, though not his original compositions, displayed his knack for adding depth and freshness to existing melodies. Both tracks became instant hits, and Mithoon began gaining recognition.

His big breakthrough as an original composer came with the title track for Bas Ek Pal (2006). The song, with its soulful melody and heartfelt lyrics, showcased Mithoon’s ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level. However, it was the release of Aashiqui 2 in 2013 and the phenomenal success of the song Tum Hi Ho that marked a turning point in his career. The track, sung by Arijit Singh, became an anthem for love and heartbreak, resonating with audiences across the globe. It not only topped music charts but also won Mithoon several accolades, including the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director.

The Evolution of Mithoon’s Musical Style

One of Mithoon’s greatest strengths is his ability to adapt and evolve. His music is characterized by its simplicity and emotional depth, often combining traditional Indian classical elements with contemporary sounds. Unlike many composers who prioritize commercial appeal, Mithoon’s focus has always been on creating music that is meaningful and timeless.

His compositions often explore themes of love, loss, and introspection, making his songs relatable to listeners from all walks of life. Tracks like Sanam Re (2016), Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga (2017), and Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage (2019) exemplify his ability to convey deep emotions through his music. His collaboration with some of Bollywood’s finest singers, including Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, and Jubin Nautiyal, has resulted in numerous chart-topping hits.

Overcoming Challenges

Despite his success, Mithoon’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. The Bollywood music industry is highly competitive, with new talent emerging every day. Moreover, the rise of remixes and commercialized music has often overshadowed soulful compositions. However, Mithoon has managed to maintain his relevance by staying true to his artistic vision. His focus on quality over quantity and his commitment to authenticity have earned him the respect of both his peers and his audience.

Personal Life and Milestones

Mithoon’s personal life has also contributed significantly to his music. His experiences, relationships, and spiritual beliefs are often reflected in his work. In 2022, he married playback singer Palak Muchhal, further solidifying their bond, both personally and professionally. The couple’s shared love for music promises exciting collaborations in the future.

Conclusion

Mithoon journey from an aspiring musician to a celebrated Bollywood star is a testament to his talent, dedication, and perseverance. His music has not only enriched the Indian film industry but has also touched the lives of millions of listeners worldwide. By staying true to his roots while embracing innovation, Mithoon has created a legacy that continues to inspire aspiring musicians.

As Mithoon’s career evolves, fans eagerly anticipate what he will bring next to the world of music. Whether it’s a heart-wrenching ballad or a soul-stirring melody, Mithoon’s compositions are sure to continue resonating with audiences for years to come.

EXCLUSIVE: Fawad Khan's Pakistani film The Legend Of Maula Jatt will be released solely in Punjab, India.

Fans rejoiced yesterday when it was revealed that The Legend Of Maula Jatt, the critically acclaimed Pakistani movie, will be released in India on October 2. The film stars the well-known Fawad Khan, and there has been a strong demand to see it in India. As a result, the surprise announcement of the film's Indian release became a hot topic on the internet.

Bollywood Hungama has heard that The Legend Of Maula Jatt will not be released in India. According to our source, "The film will be released only in the state of Punjab in India." However, the source is unsure of the purpose for such a regional release.

Nonetheless, the release will be a discussion point. An industry expert stated, "It is the first Pakistani film to be released in India in almost a decade. Fawad Khan has a large fan base across the country. This film grossed more than Rs. 200 crores at the box office and has yet to be released on any streaming site. Because of these considerations, Indian fans are extremely curious about the film."

The Punjabi-language film also stars Mahira Khan, Humaima Malik, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and others. Bilal Lashari directs, while Ammara Hikmat and Asad Jamil Khan produce. It will be distributed in India by Zee Studios. The Legend of Maula Jatt is based on a folktale about a local hero who confronts a powerful enemy from a violent tribe.

Bilal Lashari further revealed that his popular film will only be released in Punjab. Yesterday, he shared the India release poster for The Legend Of Maula Jatt on Instagram, writing, "Releasing in India, Punjab on Wednesday, October 2nd! Two years later, and the house is still filled on weekends in Pakistan! Now I can't wait for our Punjabi audience in India to witness the magic of this labor of love!" Interestingly, The Legend of Maula Jatt, which was released in Pakistan and other regions on October 13, 2022, was scheduled to hit theaters in India on December 30 of the same year. At the time, reports indicated that the film will only be released in the Northern belt, specifically Delhi-NCR and Punjab. However, days before its release, the idea was put on hold indefinitely.
