This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives
that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in
contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India
since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the
changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given
period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India:
Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas
also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical
representations follow political patterns and market compulsions,
giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a
narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From
Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the
chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic
identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be
of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and
culture studies, and South Asian studies.
