Wonderful discourse! I enjoyed every second of it. Quite a professional oration, research as well as editing. I am surprised this video has so few views and likes. Keep it up!

[@mustafashabbirfilm]

Thank you so much!

Great video! Really sheds some light on how history intertwines with all aspects, even cinema. Keep creating, we need this type of content to get popular...

[@mustafashabbirfilm]

Thank you so much!

Boy you struck a gong in my brain that will echo for an unconventional amount of nighttime mind wanderings to find correlations to so so so many events in history .

[@snehasarkar8345]

Wow. I mean wow. What a piece! I thank my algorithm that I could find your channel through this masterpiece. The subject of this video itself is so marginalized and yet you've successfully depicted it with every single detail. It's amazing. Subscribed!

[@mustafashabbirfilm]

Calling Shakespeare “Masala Literature” Is EXACTLY the kinda validation I needed in my love for both genres, lol. I love how wide the range of Shakespeare adaptations have in India tho. His plays aren’t put on such a pedestal that there's always a pressure to intellectualise the adaptations. There’s a certain freedom Indian filmmakers have with just playing with the content of the original script and rolling with it, giving us the space to have movies from Bhardwaj’s socio-political adaptations to something as silly-goofy as Anurag Singh's "Dil Bole Hadippa".

[@mustafashabbirfilm]

Definitely, it's always interesting to adapt the source material to tell stories relevant to your own cultural context!

[@lylepearson-m2p]

There's much more, in other Indian languages, e.g. In Malayalam, Jairaj's Othello, Anthony and Cleopatra, and Macbeth. I actually prefer Jairaj's Othello over Bhardwaj's. Excellent lecture, visuals, and bibliography here. I subscribed immediately.

It's the reason the British felt so at home in India and refused to leave for so long. It's the reason Blackpool gave Gandhi such a warm reception. It's the reason, curry is the favorite dish of the Brits. The common people of the UK are very similar to the larger population of India. There's a cultural bond. Wierd but true.

[@user-hq8wm8giyujcg]

u r saying he was like a mainstream masala chatpata picture maker like storyteller but then compare his works to his adaptation which are more on the art house side

[@philoxoper]

this tells Bollywood is soooo behind 😂

na videshi na hum is bare mein baat karte hain aur promote karte hain ki humne duniya ko ivc se leke ancient bharat se leke medieval times se aaj kal kaise influence kiya, jisse is topic ko development aur promotion mile, par hum abhi yeh bariki se samajne aur baat karne mein lage hain ki videshiyo ne hamare pe kya asar dala, koi videshi hamare baare mein yeh aisi baat karta hai is level pe, nahi , hum abhi bhi unke hi dimag mein fase hain, aur hamesha raheinge mujhe lagta hai, aage nahi badeinge

yeh fake firangi accent marne ki koshish zaruri nahi hai
