SPECIAL SERIES: Diasporic Gazes: with Kandarp, Parth, Sai, and Vignesh.

from The Desi Gaze · host Kandarp Vadia, Parth Parikh, Sai Lalith Kanumuri, and Vignesh Burugupalli, and Ankita Rathour

They say, save the best for last! We end our special series with an episode on myriad meanings and observations on Bollywood with Ankita's former students: Kandarp Vadia, Parth Parikh, Sai Lalith Kanumuri, and Vignesh Burugupalli. Our guests begin the discussion with the importance of Hindi films for the desi diaspora along with presenting crucial insights into the problems of (mis) representation, the use of CGI, issues of adapting/borrowing/stealing stories etc. Though difference in opinions arise here and there, all the participants do agree on the postcolonial power of Hindi film and the spirit of storytelling the contemporary Hindi filmmakers must return to.  Azhar miscalculated the time difference and could not make it. Though, Ankita and he have decided to be back for an episode before taking a much-needed summer break.    Show these youngsters some love, please like and subscribe!
