May is special! Beyond celebrating May Day, Azhar and Ankita decided to crank it up a notch. As educators, cinephiles, Marxists, and postcolonial scholars, they believe in breaking hierarchies. So they bring you "Diasporic Gazes," a series of special episodes featuring Ankita's film students from her classes on Global Bollywood and Global Other Cinema. In this episode, Lasya Malladi and Adi Krish unpack masculinity in Hindi and other Indian language films. They rate them over a "rizzometer." It turns out that SRK is a clear winner in portraying positive masculinity. But for more insight, listen to Lasya and Adi. Show these young learners some love and cheer.
Speaker Bios:
My name is Lasya Malladi, and I just recently took Dr. Ankita Rathour’s Global Bollywood class this past semester. I’m obsessed with everything Tolly/Bollywood, especially all things Nani and old SRK ! (We don’t speak of Pathaan)”. Thank you so much for featuring us!
I’m Adi Krish, but my friends call me Adi Krizz. I am a Computer Science major at Georgia Tech, and a huge Bollywood fan! I’m a terrible dancer, but I love dancing. I’m tone deaf, but I love singing!
