How Politics Affects Indian Cinema

In this video, I'm not talking about outright propaganda films like The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story. I'm sticking to the portrayals of men and masculinity in commercially successful mass-appeal films. Still think politics and cinema don't go together? Watch this video and decide.

I'm sorry to everyone I scandalized by flashing Dwayne Johnson's measurements 10 seconds too early. 🙈 Edit: This video was recorded before the crackdown on Arundhati Roy and the houses of innocent Muslims. Just to clarify, these are horrific signs that the government is still trying to show 'strength', even after their lack of response to the J&K attacks, the NEET scam and the railway tragedy. The fight for democracy isn't over. Keep speaking up. Jai Hind.

The topic is too good Also narratives from news, movies, social media all simply wrong, fake, false or to spread hatreds. And everything is politics, even some friends say don't talk politics (if we speak up for the justice), but they post or text the "festivals", which are the real politics by hindutwa. So if some one don't care politics means he/she are privileged so not worry about the "others"

As an Adivasi thank you for pointing out the casteism of RRR. Only few people raised their voice against this. For example Komuram Bheem knew 5 Languages - Gondi, Telugu, Hindi, English and Urdu but by the end of the film Brahmin character Alluri Sitarama Raju taught him "How to write" it was so baffling for me. Also what I didn't like the most about Janwar was the cow urine drinking scene and "Make in India" dialogue scene - It confirmed that this director is regressive Sanghi.

I don't think pathan argument of having adversery as ally holds as I belive success of pathan is more signifier of narrative around Srk at that time. I mean if that were the case tiger 3 shd have been a blockbuster. Finally regarding jawan , While I agree that he is a rebel with cause, I think you in your analysis are undermining the cause of your political adversaries, it is just that their causes are different from what you consider important i.e, for some their faith in a diety, or dealing with a terror state with heavy hands , or getting a water tap or housing (Antodaya) may be the cause to which they ascribe to, srk just amplifies the message that are too generic, you giving it your value judgement as if they ascribe to left wing or Congress in India, is a shallow understanding of Indian politics. For ex when you say elite is trapped in this bubble , Remember that BJP won most of its seats in Northern India, and while it is true rural vote is the reason bjp lost, the reason might not be that they were less or more polarized rather multiple factors like fake news of taking away reservation , arrogance of bjp leadership, revival of Congress etc were the reasons. While BJP treatment of women and its heavy handed politics cs did play a role in its loss, ascribing credit to it solely would be a reach. And it is ignorant of various forces holding it together and tiring it apart. Finally, while I understand what BJP govt is doing with Arundhati roy amount to legal harrasment , it is a legit case(not conviction), a country have rules a regulation you can't escape the trial if you did something wrong in the past or in the folloy of youth abd activism as that is w very dangerous argument( And frankly it helps BJP in shifting focus on bigger issues like Train accident and NEET) On bulldozing houses, that is just sad reflection of the state of Indian politics and shitty legal system, the heavy cocktail of two is what you see in rhese cases. I am angry and yet apethetic because I know the only solution to these is litigation and taking issues via streets to the people of India( like in farmer protest) because otherwise politicians have no incentices to change status quo. P.S. I am not saying BJP is right or wrong, rather I am saying your presentation of Indian politics from your lens is distorted because of your inherent biased. What is needed is a case for more civic awarness and courtrooms to not remain feifdom of urban middle class and elites

Everything being political is a Carl Schmittian concept, suggesting that within the modern nation-state, even the most personal choices-like whether we consume beef or pork-are subject to politicization for the big boss to decide. This viewpoint reflects a deeply colonial mindset that has been effectively leveraged by the far right of our nation. Over the last decade, our nation has witnessed a decline in empathy, ethics, and gracefulness-inherently human qualities, and perhaps even transcendent, helping us glimpse the divine. We should move beyond the notion of everything being political and embrace art and cinema for the sake of gracefulness and love for the other....great video dear.....

Why politics Because it matters in everything

[@ptarchives]

Even in old times when there was less media , I think in politics people were always drawn towards men who speak in a very assertive agressive,self-righteous ways. I think people equate speaking with strong words makes the speaker strong . Being able to take a side , and unapologetically supporting it through and through is something people look up to . Maybe its because everyone is flawed and they want to feel supported and superior even if they do wrong . They naturally gravitate towards leaders who bash the opposition harshly . Now in this age women are able to contemplate and 'properly' get into deciding their votes,they choose people like RG who doesn't seem to be so male aggressive in their approach towards getting votebanks . Yes . Everything is politics. Being apolitical is also political. Such a nice video , its like discussing with some on tea time 🔥 .

The problem with Kannada cinema is that there is no film going culture in Karnataka except in the parts bordering the Telugu and Tamil speaking states. These areas tend to like the hero-worshiping kinds of films which is why massy Kannada films resemble Telugu and Tamil potboilers. That said, there has always been a set of evolved film-makers and authors (whose stories were turned into films). There were Girish Karnad and Girish Kasaravalli in the past. I have also heard good things about Puttanna Kanagal and Shankar Nag but am yet to explore them (beyond Malgudi Days). In the current set of filmmakers good things are happening in films made by those raised in and appealing to audiences from Bangalore and the coastal belt. The coastel belt audience is also a little unevolved (stuck in the comedy genre phase), but the film-makers are not. Raj B Shetty and Hemant Rao are my favourites followed by Rakshit Shetty. Kiranraj and others lesser known directors are also trying to narrate different kinds of films. There is an art-house movement alive even now but does not attract as many audiences and remain restricted to festival circuits. In short, I would not equate Kannada cinema to Telugu cinema. Coming to Kantara, it has some uncomfortable moments, but it is not trying to justify the bad behaviour. The protagonist gets told off by his mother countless times for his behaviour including the way he treats his girlfriend. It is meant to be a depiction of waywardness. For every Kantara, there is a Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye. Unfortunately, Hindi-inclined Cinephiles do not discover the films that do not cross borders in a big way. So, you end up watching only the KGFs. I appreciate GangsOfCinepur for being more adventurous in this respect. She has covered a wide range of films and discovered many of the under-appreciated gems.

Coming into contact with J. SAI DEEPAK ( Indie wing, SC advocate) ⚖⚖⚖ ANANDA RANGANATHAN ( atheist ) Vikram Sampant 😇😇( historian )🥸🥸 And many other U tubers and individuals Now you could see where my Indie wing stand has came I started to discover flaws in left wing slo lo low low low ly 🎶 that I ditched them ( ya but I didn't shifted to right wing because of the reasons I already mentioned which are the same like yours ) These guys always talked with facts . Mam you may also check out their interviews, debates vand books While Anand sir uses harsh words some words are so heavy I don't even understand some words are abusive too But he justify his emotions through facts ( not a huge fan of him due to his frustration) but ya😇😇😇 Vikram 😇😇😇sir is so calm and at peace Deepak sir being an SC advocate cut through my rock like stance for left with his sharp facts🪨🪨🪨🌊🌊 All I learnt from them is what the history is being taught to us is not completely wrong but ya highly distorted Our history books doesn't take into account the real masscare and cruelty Our sweet country went through in medieval times and even in modern times, the many unsung heroes of medieval and modern times.🤺🤺🤺🤺🙈🙉🙊🙈🙉🙊🙈🙉🙊 How caste system wasn't a thing based on birth , how our society was primarily matriarchal , how our society is highly liberal , plural and democratic in its core values How the irregularities and misconceptions in today's society is due to the destruction of their place of learnings and not because it was already like this How the leaders which we think were liberals were not actually like that but a complete reverse 🤡🤡🤡 I may be wrong Or I may be right Let the discussion go on which you started with your question at the last 😁😁😁🤔🤔🤔☺☺☺

[@kauilya314]

While I agree with everything in this video, I have only one disagreement with the simplistic reading of Kantara and putting it in the category of hyper masculinity films. Shiva's character is based on a bahujan south Indian idea of a god. This should not be confused with the north Indian upper caste idea of a god. The former is as flawed as most humans while the latter is supposed to be like Rama of Ramcharitmanas - flawless in every way. In the story itself Shiva is painted as a bit of a fool and a little crude but needs to come out of this stage to become a hero worthy of being inhabited by a god.

[@Cinemawali]

I understand that but that still doesn't justify the fact that woman just falls for a man who molests her. This is a very common trope in a LOT of films from all over the country. I know most people don't consider that a problem or even problematic, but it is the woman on the street who continues to face molestation at the hands of men who watch 'heroes' get away with this on screen and believe that it their birthright to treat women as objects to be played with. That is why the Bahujan woman often suffers a lot more than the Bahujan man.

[@amaannkhan]

Don't u think kgf & rrr both are underdog stories .

[@Cinemawali]

I understand where you're coming from. That's why I mentioned that there should be something lacking in the hero. Technically, in both films, the heroes seem invincible. I haven't watched KGF but in RRR, all they lack is direction. Anyway, that's not a problem on its own. My issue is with everyone winning every fight with brute force instead of ideas, ideology or skill like in Maidaan, Lagaan or even a comedy like Crew.
