Abstract

"Through an in depth analysis of key Indian filmmakers and actors, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Kangana Ranaut, Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher, Ajay Gehlawat considers the extent to which recent Bollywood films reflect several of the main tenets of the Hindutva movement. He examines the growing influence of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on film production, as seen in filmic collaborations on themes ranging from Modi's Clean India program to India's space program, and big budget historical epics such as Padmaavat (2018) and Manikarnika (2019), which attempt to reframe Indian history in accordance with Hindutva ideology"--
