A few months ago, popular Film Scholar Professor Ira Bhaskar delivered a talk on “Popular Cinema and National Imagination.” In this talk, she addressed the question of the representation of National Idioms through the lens of Indian cinema. While her effort was well-intended, eventually the talk was generic and superficial owing to her lack of engagement with films that can actually be considered commercial cinema patronised by the audience, and hence her conception of “Popular Cinema” was left for her own discretion. The talk conveyed in broader strokes, making broad generalizations which could well be challenged and problematised. My observation from the talk was that Professor Ira Bhaskar tended to arm-twist the narrative to suit her political opinions, without caring for the dynamics that cinematic narratives can offer.

The film has been promoted well, the songs have made their presence felt too, the recall value is good due to remake factor and Akshay Kumar’s presence in a special appearance has got it further noticed. Moreover, Lisa Haydon is ensuring that her perky act pulls in masses to theaters. A seemingly safe affair due to controlled costs, The Shaukeens should take a decent start at the box office and find audience in single screens as well as multiplexes.

On the other hand Rang Rasiya is primarily a multiplex release and its promotion has picked up mainly in last 10-15 days. The film’s delay won’t make much of a difference though since it...
