	HIMAL SOUTHASIAN \| March - April 2006
		Hindi cinema is now ‘Bollywood’ cinema, although many in the Bombay film industry find the term derogatory.
		Cinema has perforce a role to play much beyond just its commercial aspects, and this is where the importance of regional-language cinema is so obvious – other than to those who are so glamorised by Bollywood as to be blind to reality.
		This cinema comes from a band of filmmakers whose creativity is driven by sheer zeal and love for the mesmeric images of the big screen, and despite the fact that they live a life mostly shorn of glamour and money.

	Dinesh Bhugra - Academic Psychiatrist - Education
		Dinesh Bhugra is exploring the portrayal of mental illness in Hindi cinema.
		In terms of their portrayal of mental illness, Hindi films tend to represent the mentally ill as comedic supporting characters that add an amusing sideshow to, for example, the central 'love story'.
		"Hindi cinema is a cultural and ideological force that creates and reinforces perceptions and attitudes in its viewers." As such, it could have a profound influence on the Indian population's attitudes to a mental health.

	Nationalist Hindi Cinema
		At the same time, it is not enough to argue that the dominant mode of address of Hindi cinema is frontal, rather than perspectival, because this cinema emerged from and functioned in a context that responded to realism as a colonial import.
		The forces orchestrating the narrative strategies of Hindi cinema and the speaking positions attaching to them are to be identified there, in the historically specific dynamics between the social and the economic spheres that shape Hindi cinema, as an industry and as a cultural practice or cluster of films.
		Whereas by the 1950s, Hollywood cinema was the product of a fully corporate venture, the economic priority and operational emphases of which were on production, this has never been the case for the cinema in India, where production is a highly fragmented sector of small-scale units that rely on localised sources of finance (Prasad 1994).

	Images of Hindi cinema
		Today, of course, this category has disappeared totally, but even when it existed in Hindi cinema, it depicted a world that was pure fantasy: those poet-heroes, nawabs, burqa-clad heroines, courtesans, havelis and streets never existed in quite that way in real life.
		The other author is Rachel Dwyer, a scholar of Hindi cinema who teaches at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.
		The authors jointly write the first chapter, which is an excellent survey of the history of Hindi cinema and the development of its various elements.

	Mdeii life: Defining Tamil cinema in the International context with a reference to Mani Ratnam’s Kannathil Muthamittal
		She watches Tamil as well Hindi cinema coming into the UK, and finds very little difference between the two, though she says that recently, she has come across a few Tamil films that are willing to be experimental and break the mould of formulaic tradition.
		Thus, this "middle cinema", in one sense, is an evolutionary branch of Indian cinema slowly defining and redefining itself.
		This cinema is patronised primarily by an expatriate Tamil audience, and not by a "crossover" audience.

		Mohanlal is soft-spoken, affable and gentle to the point of making you wonder how he could have played that passionate spectrum of characters in Malayalam films ranging from "Chithram" to "Minnaram" and "Nirnayam".
		His Hindi film appearance as the cerebral and intriguing police commissioner in Ram Gopal Varma's "Company" was widely appreciated.
		But it didn't really translate into a floodgate of opportunities in Hindi cinema for the self-effacing actor.

	The Hindu : Hindi cinema's Holi hues
		It is said that in olden days, royal families replaced the red leaf paste with red powder (gulaal), and gradually holi came to be identified as a festival of cheer, which in later times, got translated into abridging of class discrimination.
		Part of the attraction was in its secular message and part in the excuse to drop inhibitions, but Hindi cinema for decades has thrived on holi to evoke nostalgia.
		Despite repetitive situations and predictable dialogue and lyrics, the song and dance numbers triggered a feeling of deja vu in the audience and the magic has not diminished in all these years.
