Hitchcockian movies from Bollywood



Hitchcock has a powerful influence on world cinema and bollywood is not far behind in taking concepts, ideas and influence from maestro. 60s and 70s was the time when Hitchcockian suspense genre was introduced in Hindi cinema. Films like Anita (1967, Raj Khosla), Gumnaam (1965, Raj Nawathe), Woh Kaun thi? (1964, Raj Khosla), Baharon Ki Manzil (1968, Yakub Hasan Rizvi), Mera Saaya (1966, Raj Khosla) were heavily influenced and inspired by Hitchcock's films. They were so much inspired by Hitchcock that they even copied framing and background music from the original, apart from occasional plot similarities. There are two characteristics in these movies which were indigenous: first, melodious songs and second, comedy tract. The films, though entertaining, lack the masterful weaving of fears and desires in Hitchcock's movies.

    They can be influenced by the idea however they should explore creative ways of presenting the same idea to deliver something new. It should not be imitation.

Mikhail Bakhtin and his Dialogic Imagination

Book: The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essays (1981) Author: M. M. Bakhtin Translated by: Caryl Emerson & Michael Holquist Edited: Michael Holquist Austin & London: University of Texas Press "The Dialogic Imagination: Four Essays" by Mikhail Bakhtin is already considered a classic not only from the perspective of literary genre but also as an important work on the philosophy of language. The present book contains the four essays: 1. Epic and Novel, 2. From the Prehistory of Novelistic Discourse, 3. Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel, 4. Discourse in the Novel and an Introduction and Glossary by the editor. The essays are a commentary on the  historical development of novel form and how it is different from the other literary form. His argument is that as the novel form is different from the other literary forms, we need a different type of stylistic and poetic analysis and dogmas for that in order to truly evaluate the Novel.
