Bollywood is here. The online workshop/ course course is designed for both
new as well as the seasoned consumer and appreciator of Bollywood movies.
It will discuss Bollywood movies with special reference to depiction and
portrayal of romance and relationships and the identity of women within it.

The course will include an appreciation of Bollywood movies and the
portrayal of romance and romantic relationships in the sociological
backdrop of India.A term to refer to the Hindi film production industry
that is largely based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

The transition in Bollywood movies over the past century has been
interesting and with the emergence of a global film based economy, it has a
wider outreach and influence. The focus of the course will be romantic
relationships and the construction of identities of women and gender
encompassing different production and social values that can accommodate
disparate sensibilities within India and outside India. Each class will be
informed by two to three movies that illustrate the key aspects of the
content. Additionally there will be readings to supplement the lecture as
an option.

The course will be a hybrid with an online modality along with in person
lectures. Lectures will be audio and video format and accessible to those
enrolled.

Classes include an introduction to The history, transitions, and
comparisons over decades from 1920-2010 in Bollywood film production; and
several romantic genres including 'Boy meets Girl' prototype and "Arranged
Marriage" portrayed in Bollywood.
