The Almost Impossible Bollywood Quiz by Rohit Jayakaran covers 50 quizzes featuring some of the most iconic Bollywood films. These Hindi films have entertained us by making us laugh and cry over the decades. Each quiz is based solely on the events that take place within the story of the film. If you would like to challenge your knowledge about a film, I recommend first attempting the quiz without the multiple choices. Since getting all the answers correct is almost impossible, each quiz is followed by a version that includes clues in the form of multiple choices. The Hindi films covered in this book are - Sholay, Mr. India, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Khiladi, Baazigar, Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Coolie No. 1, Rangeela, Yes Boss, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Munna Bhai MBBS, Kal Ho Na Ho, Main Hoon Na, Dhoom, Swades, Bunty and Babli, Rang De Basanti, Om Shanti Om, Jab We Met, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Race, Rock On, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Singh Is Kinng, 3 Idiots, Wake Up Sid, Dabangg, Band Baaja Baaraat, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Tanu Weds Manu, Desi Boyz, Ra.One, Barfi, Dabangg 2, Chennai Express, Queen, Special 26, Kai Po Che, Krrish 3, PK, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chuppi.Some of the biggest Indian Cinema actors starred in the films covered in this book.

Mumbai is a city that thrives on extravagant spectacles and larger-than-life characters. But as Chopra is about to discover, even in the city of dreams, there is no guarantee of a happy ending. Rising star and incorrigible playboy Vikram Verma has disappeared, leaving his latest film in jeopardy. Hired by Verma's formidable mother to find him, Inspector Chopra and his sidekick, baby elephant Ganesha, embark on a journey deep into the world's most flamboyant movie industry. As they uncover feuding stars, failed investments and death threats, it seems that many people have a motive for wanting Verma out of the picture. And yet, as Chopra has long suspected, in Bollywood the truth is often stranger than fiction. . .

From Bombay to Bollywood analyzes the transformation of the national film industry in Bombay into a transnational and multi-media cultural enterprise, which has come to be known as Bollywood. Combining ethnographic, institutional, and textual analyses, Aswin Punathambekar explores how relations between state institutions, the Indian diaspora, circuits of capital, and new media technologies and industries have reconfigured the Bombay-based industry’s geographic reach. Providing in-depth accounts of the workings of media companies and media professionals, Punathambekar has produced a timely analysis of how a media industry in the postcolonial world has come to claim the global as its scale of operations. Based on extensive field research in India and the U.S., this book offers empirically-rich and theoretically-informed analyses of how the imaginations and practices of industry professionals give shape to the media worlds we inhabit and engage with. Moving beyond a focus on a single medium, Punathambekar develops a comparative and integrated approach that examines four different but interrelated media industries--film, television, marketing, and digital media. Offering a path-breaking account of media convergence in a non-Western context, Punathambekar’s transnational approach to understanding the formation of Bollywood is an innovative intervention into current debates on media industries, production cultures, and cultural globalization.

As various nations wrestle with issues of immigration, integration, and pluralism, second-generation immigrants are exploring new ways to make sense of who they are and where they belong in the face of competing cultural demands. Dreaming in Canadian turns the spotlight on the role of Bollywood cinema in the production of cultural, religious, and national identities among South Asian youth in Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa. By documenting the voices of these young adults and how they draw on media in the formation of uniquely hybrid identities, this book interrogates the realities that underpin media portrayals of diaspora, nationalism, and multiculturalism.

Why should we study language? How do the ways in which we communicate define our identities? And how is this all changing in the digital world? Since 1993, many have turned to Language, Culture, and Society for answers to questions like those above because of its comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects of linguistic anthropology. This seventh edition carries on the legacy while addressing some of the newer pressing and exciting challenges of the 21st century, such as issues of language and power, language ideology, and linguistic diasporas. Chapters on gender, race, and class also examine how language helps create-and is created by-identity. New to this edition are enhanced and updated pedagogical features, such as learning objectives, updated resources for continued learning, and the inclusion of a glossary. There is also an expanded discussion of communication online and of social media outlets and how that universe is changing how we interact. The discussion on race and ethnicity has also been expanded to include Latin- and Asian-American English vernacular.
