the rolling stones rock and roll circus is a film released in 1996 of an 11 december 1968 event organized by the rolling stones .

the original line up was going to be the small faces , the rolling stones and the who and the concept of a circus was first thought up between mick jagger , pete townshend and ronnie lane and was originally meant to be aired on the bbc , but the rolling stones withheld it .

the stones contended they did so due to their substandard performance , because they had taken the stage early in the morning and were clearly exhausted .

led zeppelin were also originally considered but the idea was also dropped .

there’s no denying rock and roll circus is a cool , profoundly strange snippet of rock history . it’s also a little like watching a late - night fever dream — and glimpsing a surreal alternate universe where the gods of rock ’n’ roll get no satisfaction .

for all the controversy and mystery surrounding it for 28 years , these days the rolling stones rock and roll circus now comes across as a quaint time capsule of the last days of swingin & apos ; london . and as strange as the idea of combining a rock concert and a circus may be , it manages to work – even if the only person who wasn & apos ; t stoned was probably the guy who ate fire . you can see what we & apos ; re talking about from the comfort of your home , as the rock and roll circus is now available on itunes .

the rolling stones rock and roll circus is a film released in 1996 of an 11 december 1968 event put together by the rolling stones . the event comprised two concerts on a circus stage and included such acts as the who , taj mahal , marianne faithfull , and jethro tull . john lennon and his fiancee yoko ono performed as part of a supergroup called the dirty mac , along with eric clapton , mitch mitchell , and keith richards . it was originally meant to be aired on the bbc , but the rolling stones withheld it because they were unhappy with their performance .

upon viewing the footage , the rolling stones felt their performance was lacklustre , and that they had been upstaged by the who ' s a quick one while he ' s away , so decided not to release rock and roll circus . the audio and video footage circulated widely on bootlegs before being released officially in 1995 .
the last half of the show is devoted to the stones , which is why the special wasn & apos ; t aired at the time . the band held it back because they were unhappy with how they sounded . because of numerous production delays , the rolling stones rock and roll circus took 15 hours to film . with the stones up last , exhaustion and the copious substances they had ingested had taken their toll .

in december 1968 , the rolling stones and friends met in a north london television studio to film a concert , complete with fey late - 60 ' s flourishes like a fire - swallower , circus costumes for the rock stars and silly hats and smocks for the studio audience . the stones were joined by the who , taj mahal , eric clapton and other musicians .

filmed in december , 1968 , the circus ( officially titled the rolling stones rock n roll circus ) would not see the light of day until october 1996 . some of us lucky fans got to see it years earlier , as three different bootlegs came out around the mid 1980s . since i have a copy of one of those boots , i will write about it too , as the official release is a bit different .
unfortunately , the result was a trippy train wreck — and it ended so badly for the rolling stones that everyone forgot about it for 20 years .
tv special the rolling stones rock and roll circus was a mick jagger - - helmed vanity project that somehow went horribly right . the chaotic show - - a hybrid of circus and rock concert with some of the hottest acts in swinging london ( john lennon , the who ) - - was shelved in the 1960s and not released on video until 1996 . the new dvd adds commentary from jagger , yoko ono and others . keith richards mumbles the best line :
i remember not remembering everything towards the end .
but watching a young jagger lead the stones through sublimely insolent versions of you can ' t always get what you want and sympathy . . .

the rolling stones rock and roll circus was an entertainment extravaganza planned and put on by the rolling stones in december 1968 . originally done as a bbc tv special to be broadcast not long afterwards , it has never been shown . for a while there was talk of releasing it as a feature film for theater distribution . nothing happened . there are still no definite plans for release , and it looks now as if it may never be shown , though by all accounts it is a remarkable film . the following report , written at the time , gives us a glimpse of the stones show we have never seen .

the lineup of all time was the beatles , the stones , and the who , at the 1966 nme concert .
this was one of the first grand rock ' n roll events of the 1960s , and for years it was the one that got away ! the circus was put together by the rolling stones after mick jagger came up with the main idea . it was suppose to be a tv special , filmed in december , 1968 , but was never shown and finally released years later as a vhs video and cd , in 1996 . released as a dvd in 2004 .
1945 ) , is an english rock and blues guitarist , singer , and songwriter . he is the only three - time inductee to the rock and roll hall of fame : once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the yardbirds and cream . clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time .
although it includes some not - too - hot pieces , rock and roll circus presents a strong roster of good music . none of the participants demonstrate their best work , but they mostly sound good , and the program is very cool to see from a historic point of view .
for nearly 30 years , the rolling stones rock and roll circus was a legendary , unexperienced piece of pop detritus , cousin to smile and jerry lewis’ holocaust movie the clown that cried . the project - - a big - top - themed concert featuring the stones , the who , taj mahal , john lennon , and others - - was supposed to be shown on television , but was never broadcast . reasons for its absence abound , but the most accepted theory is that jagger and co . were unhappy with their performances and felt upstaged by their colleagues .
the rolling stones’ rock and roll circus had more ups and downs than the last days of elvis : jethro tull and the who lead with forgettable performances , followed by a decent show of taj mahal , then another forgettable performance by marianne faithfull . lennon takes the stage and gives a stellar performance with his supergroup dirty mac . his second song starts off with a refreshing violin rock compilation , but ultimately , the song is utterly ruined by yoko’s dead cat impersonation that is persistent throughout the rest of the song . possibly bolstered by the abysmal performance that preceded them , the rolling stones then performs at their best , making the rest of their show entertaining and uniquely enjoyable , allowing you to ( almost ) forget about the previous forty minutes you wished you had back .

originally filmed in december 1968 ,
the rock and roll circus
was originally intended to be released as a television special . the special was filmed over two nights and featured not only the rolling stones but the who , jethro tull ( with future black sabbath guitarist tommy iommi filling in for the recently departed mick abrahams ) , marianne faithful and an all - star jam featuring john lennon , eric clapton , keith richards and mitch micthell . sadly , this also marked the final appearance of the stones founder and original guiding light , brian jones , who would be dead within six months after filming the special .
the whole show was arranged on something of a handshake basis , the kind guaranteed to require lawyers later on . so it has taken 28 years for ' ' the rolling stones rock - and - roll circus ' ' to surface . it will be shown for only two days , today and tomorrow at the walter reade theater , as part of the new york film festival , before its release on videocassette and laser disk next week . not many home viewing experiences are likely to match seeing this on the walter reade ' s big screen with an audience ready to roll down memory lane .

the stones had not toured recently , and were not in top playing condition to match the who .
before i get into this review , i really feel that anyone who hasn ' t seen or heard the rock ' n roll circu s , should first view the video - and then get a hold of the cd .
in between all of the songs , we get a mix of other elements . dressed as circus performers , various stones introduce the acts , and we also find genuine circus acts tossed into the mix as well . these expand the show’s concept but aren’t very interesting , so i always skip them .
the who were next , stealing the show with a ferocious version of
a quick one , while he & apos ; s away .
although the complete rock and roll circus was never aired , the climax of the who & apos ; s mini - opera was featured in their 1979 documentary the kids are alright and in its entirety on its soundtrack album .
shot in 1968 , this concert film ( conceived and organized by mick jagger ) was made in london over a two - day period . the show was literally set in a circus - like atmosphere , with the rock bands dressed in colorful costumes , and acrobats , clowns and other big - top acts performing between sets . the film captures such groups as the rolling stones and the who at the height of their creativity , providing unforgettable entertainment for fans both young and old .
for the first time ever in their 50 year long career , the rolling stones played in havana , the capital of cuba . the movie shows how music can work as tool of social improvement .

but the stones suffered their attempt at self - promotion . “that plan just blew up in their faces , ” classic - rock writer jen cunningham explains .
straight out of its time capsule , ' ' the rolling stones rock - and - roll circus ' ' brings back the sleek young stones in all their insolent glory , recalling a time when they ruled the roost . gorgeously smug , well aware that the world is their playpen , they preside grandly over this uneven but ripely nostalgic show and then close it with a sensational set of their own . rumor had it that the stones , who were up all night before their segment was filmed , thought they looked tired and felt upstaged by the high - energy who . it hardly looks that way as mick jagger ' s fabulous performance nearly turns this into a one - man show .
because these 24 hours could have been classic rock’s make - or - break .
the best music by the stones for me was that recorded up to and including sticky fingers . this album not only features a live set from the stones but also includes some excellent live performances by jethro tull , the who and john lennon . for fans of yoko ono , she does a bit of screeching and wailing on a track as well . a worthwhile listen if you like the rolling stones .
the tickets , distributed by the rolling stones fan club and by the n . m . e . , were printed on gold metallic cards with a 19th century wood - cut of a galloping elephant in green . clutching them we entered the giant studio . inside , half a circus tent was draped around one end of the studio , a circus ring that came apart in the center , sawdust in the ring , ropes and poles , all the mysterious rigging of the circus reproduced inside this gigantic space . at the end of the studio was an archway covered with bare bulbs like a side show , and all the acts entered through it .
the rolling stones ' own performance began 2am the following morning . by this time lennon and ono had departed to do a bbc radio interview , but they returned for part of the stones ' set . the couple were also filmed at various times offstage earlier in the day , and lennon and jagger traded jokes for a link sequence to introduce the dirty mac .
the main rock ' n roll circus show that is shown on the new dvd , is the exact same one you see on the vhs tape , so no need to review all that again , however , like all dvds , there are a bunch of extras added in , so i ' ll cover all of them here .
there were so many firsts and lasts involved with the the rock ' n roll circu s , it was not only one of the first major rock n roll get - to - gethers , but also the first major gig for jethro tull , which for tull would also include the first and last gig with guitarist tony iommi , who would leave to form black sabbath just weeks later . it was one of the first times the who would perform a rock opera live . it featured one of the first rock super groups , the dirty mac ( the name through up by john lennon , as he was poking fun at fleetwood mac ) , and in turn , would be dirty mac ' s first and only ( last ) performance , not to mention lennon ' s first concert without the beatles . it also was the last time the original rolling stones would perform live , and sadly , the last gig for brian jones , who would die a few months later .
, an acid rock - infused guitarist who used wailing feedback and effects pedals to create new sounds for the instrument .
by that time the audience and most of the stones were exhausted ; jagger ' s sheer stamina managed to keep them going until the end . jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band ' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film , and kept it from public view . this was the last public performance of brian jones with the rolling stones , and for much of the stones performance he is inaudible , although his slide guitar on

back in the sixties , a couple of years without touring looked like an eternity . to remind the fans that they still existed after two years off the road , the rolling stones planned an all - star musical extravaganza . this would feature a mix of other artists and culminate in a set by the stones themselves .
ask mick jagger to put on his dream concert these days , and he’ll probably hire martin scorsese . forty - seven years ago , he could do even better : he put the rolling stones , the who and a beatle on the same stage and made a movie .

the stones usually picked the hot new band of the time and tull were up and coming and getting plenty of good press in 68 much like king crimson in 69 when they joined the stones on the bill at hyde park . in hindsight they seem like bizarre choices .

it was hard to believe it was actually happening . lennon , keith richards , clapton and mitch mitchell playing together in a supergroup , a real circus with tigers , plate spinners , a boxing kangaroo , the stones , the who , acrobats , clowns , midgets and a fire - eater , and entirely planned and produced by the stones themselves . it seemed like another unlikely pop rumor . jo bergman , stones liaison with the world , kept calmly saying , “yes , it really is going to happen , ” and it was due to the stones’ determination and the fluidity of the english music scene that this was planned , put together in two weeks and rehearsed and filmed in just two days , the 10th and 11th of december . jo bergman said about the circus getting together : “the stones wanted to get people into their movie . all the artists involved were responsible for getting it together . nobody sold out . the stones got down what they wanted to get down and it was all done inside of two weeks . ”
damn , the only bad thing about the rock ' n roll circu s video , is that it almost was never shown , and kept under wraps for so many years ! by the time it was released , several of it ' s main stars were already long dead . to even call it a video is unfair , it was really a made for tv film . but what ones gets to see here is amongst the best of shows , as far as rock n roll goes .
that ' s what i was thinking too . zeppelin would have totally blown the circus tent far , far away .

by that time the audience and most of the rolling stones were exhausted . it was only due to jagger ' s sheer enthusiasm and stamina that they kept going until the end . regardless , jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band ' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film , and kept it from public view . pete townshend recalled :

en een alternatieve versie van sympathy for the devil met brian jones op gitaar .
years ago , i bought this cd when it first got released on cd in the late 90 ' s only bc i am a die hard beatles fan and stones fan and john lennon was a headliner as were the stones , obviously . little did i know that it was going to open my musical spectrum up so much more than i had ever anticipated ! it introduced me to classics like jethro tull , the who , and so many more great acts ! its a great musical collaboration , and i highly recommend it if you dig rock n roll and the british invasion bands !
this is a great album for any rolling stones fan , a true gem for anyones collection . performances from john lennon and his super band
the dirty mac

a significant segment , featuring the who , had been shown theatrically in the documentary the kids are alright ( 1979 ) , the only public viewing of the film until its eventual release . the rolling stones ' film was restored , edited , and finally released on cd and video in 1996 . included on the recordings are the introductions for each act , including some entertaining banter between jagger and lennon .
clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time . [ 1 ] [ 113 ] [ 114 ] [ 115 ] clapton is the only three - time inductee to the rock and roll hall of fame : once as a solo artist , and separately as a member of the yardbirds and cream .

the project was originally conceived by mick jagger as a way to promote the new record beggars banquet beside conventional press and concert appearances . [ 3 ] jagger approached michael lindsay - hogg , who had directed two promos for rolling stones songs ( and would go on to direct the beatles ' let it be documentary ) , to make a full - length tv show for them . according to lindsay - hogg , the idea of combining rock music and a circus setting came to him when he was trying to come up with ideas ; he drew a circle on a piece of paper and free - associated .
the next ( non - circus ) music we hear comes from the bluesman taj mahal and his band , but the song played ,
ain ' t that a lot of love
is more rock sounding than blues , and it ' s a dandy ! jessie ed davis ' lead guitar is so fine , and tai mahal delivers some smooth vocals .
the rolling stones , the who and marianne faithfull were the marquee names . also appearing was the dirty mac , a one - off supergroup comprised of john lennon , eric clapton , keith richards , yoko ono and jimi hendrix experience drummer mitch mitchell . bluesman taj mahal and jethro tull , who had just released their debut album six weeks earlier , rounded out the bill .
in october 1963 , clapton joined the yardbirds , a blues - influenced rock and roll band , and stayed with them until march 1965 . synthesising influences from chicago blues and leading blues guitarists such as buddy guy , freddie king , and b . b . king , clapton forged a distinctive style and rapidly became one of the most talked - about guitarists in the british music scene . [ 18 ] the band initially played chess / checker / vee - jay blues numbers and began to attract a large cult following when they took over the rolling stones ' residency at the crawdaddy club in richmond . they toured england with american bluesman sonny boy williamson ii ; a joint lp album , recorded in december 1963 , was issued in 1965 .
by that time the audience and most of the stones were exhausted ; jagger ' s sheer stamina managed to keep them going until the end . jagger was reportedly so disappointed with his and the band ' s performance that he cancelled the airing of the film , and kept it from public view . this was the last public performance of brian jones with the rolling stones , and for much of the stones performance he is inaudible , although his slide guitar on

sympathy for the devil
, and rhythm guitar on
jumpin ' jack flash
and
parachute woman
remain clear . the last song ,
salt of the earth
, was sung live by keith richards and mick jagger to the pre - recorded tape from the beggars banquet studio album where the song had been released .
to some degree , it may be unfair to come down too hard on jagger and the stones for their flaws on display here . as the dvd’s supplements document , the
the stones contended that they withheld the film ' s release due to their substandard performance , because they had taken the stage early in the morning and were clearly exhausted . many others believe that the true reason for not releasing the video was that the who , who were fresh off a concert tour , upstaged the stones on their own production .

in january 1969 , when the beatles were recording / filming what became let it be , tensions became so acute that harrison quit the group for several days , prompting the others to consider replacing him with clapton , an idea that particularly appealed to john lennon . [ 32 ] michael lindsay - hogg , television director of the recording sessions for let it be , states ,
i was there when john mentioned clapton—but that wasn ' t going to happen . would eric have become a beatle ? no . paul didn ' t want to go there . he didn ' t want them to break up . then george came back .
[ 33 ] clapton was on good terms with all four of the beatles ; in december 1968 he had played with lennon at the rolling stones rock and roll circus as part of the one - off group the dirty mac . [ 34 ]

the cd and show closes out with a sing - a - long , with the stones song

this was supposed to be released in 1969 , but mick jagger wasn ' t happy with the stones performance . sound is excellent throughout - jethro tull & the who were my favorites . the stones sounded fine , so i don ' t get why mick was unhappy . 😐😐

and an alternative take of

nonetheless , the headliners ' scaled - back performance has definite appeal . it’s interesting to hear the rolling stones with a little less energy than usual and more interesting still to hear them perform for a small audience . after an introduction from john lennon ( in its entirety : “and now” ) , the band starts their set with “jumpin’ jack flash , ” followed by “parachute woman , ” “no expectations , ” “you can’t always get what you want , ” “sympathy for the devil , ” and show closer “salt of the earth . ” it’s a solid set , and if the rumor about the project’s shelving is true , it’s a shame the stones didn’t have enough faith in their fans .
worth buying for one of the greatest live performances ever - the who performing ' a quick one ' - and one which was only surpassed by the who themselves . they steal the show so one can see why the stones ( who are good too ) were reluctant for this to be seen . listen to the album version of ' a quick one ' , then the performance at monterey , at this circus , at the coliseum and then live at leeds to hear the evolution and increase in power , interplay and virtuosity of the band which has never been equalled . tasteful drumming on here by mitch mitchell with the dirty mac also .

here is a version of the song
i love my india
from the film pardes .
pardes - ( with making of film ) bollywood dvd - shah rukh khan , mahima choudhary .
the film pardes is a love story about people and a love story about india . released in 1997 , the film both opens and closes with the title :

pardes was a three hour propaganda about the sanskari - ness of india by dissing every other culture .
chorus : ganga why are you going to pardes ( foreign land ) , leaving your own desh ( country ) .
that said ,
pardes
does suffer from some challengingly old - fashioned viewpoints , which i ' m sure are more difficult to take as a non - native viewer . those , coupled with an overall datedness make
pardes
not among my favorites .
. while the academic study of
film and religion
as a subfield within religious studies has only come of age since the late 1980s , the connection between film and religion is as old as film itself . as film theorist andr
tabun sutradhar composed the film ' s music . several lyricists wrote for the film , including zameer kazmi and sameer .
at such a time , back in 1997 , subhash ghai released pardes , in the year that marked 50 years of indian independence .

madhuri dixit had great expectations from this film , produced by her secretary rikku . the film also starred sanjay kapoor and akshaye khanna . the film flopped , managing rs 13 million per territory after being sold at rs 15 million .

like when i watched pardes i asked my mum is this how it is in india , how it’s shown in the film . sometimes she agrees with the film , at other times she doesn’t . if she doesn’t then i’ll just take it in for myself and it’s interesting to see how they portray india and indian things . ( p . 73 )
it is not only the content of film that connects film and religion , for as a number of critics have observed , one can find religious interests and implications in the formal style of film , as well as in the cinematic experience of viewing film . as another early film critic and director , jean epstein , once said ,
i would even go so far as to say that the cinema is polytheistic and theogonic
( abel , 1988 , p . 317 ) . film , and the experience of viewing film , may be religious in and of itself , creating its own gods , goddesses , and myths , and film does not merely represent or reflect an already established religion . so , while not mutually exclusive categories , film studies and religion studies can be usefully divided into three key approaches , and the second half of this entry will examine the various scholarly responses to the connections between film and religion : religion in film , religion as film , and the cinematic experience and ritual .

similar to the dual nation setting of dilwale dulhania le jayenge ( 1995 ) , pardes ( 1997 ) takes a serious look at the lives of westernized non - resident indians ( nris ) in north america . whereas dilwale dulhania le jayenge was about nris with indian hearts , pardes is about westernized nris . ) and hence the meaning of the title -
foreign land
.
the most awaited film of the year . indra kumar ' s fourth film proved he could have a hit without madhuri dixit , the heroine of his earlier three hits ,
but ghai maintains that it is too early in the game to pass a verdict on his movie . he says the film will soon settle down to steady business like his last release , pardes , which picked up after the opening week and went on to become a hit .
sold at rs 17 . 5 million the film netted rs 25 million on an average .
and still managed a better opening than either film . but thereafter , it lost out . sold at rs 9 million per territory , the film made rs 15 million per territory .
ghai is quite confident that his film will pick up steam soon and become a hit .
praised victor banerjee ' s acting , but said the film was too cliché and unoriginal .
subhash ghai ' s ' pardes ' celebrates 50 years of indian independence as it delves into the lives of nris in north america and beautifully encapsulates the sentiments of ' american dreams . . . indian soul ' .

pardes got all the rewards for championing the indian values but it was actually just the music of the film , by nadeem - shravan , that created an impact that still has the ability to make the audience sing along . songs like meri mehbooba , yeh dil deewana became instant hits and can easily be credited as contemporary classics .
the popular feeling of celebrating the golden jubilee of india ' s independence was everywhere and bollywood was right at the forefront . jp dutta ' s border had created a huge impact already and then , it was pardes ' turn .
there are three key scholarly approaches to the relationship between film and religion . the first might be called
religion in film ,
a way of analyzing the religious dimensions of film by focusing primarily on its narrative content .
film as religion
is the second key approach , and is based on formal parallels between the aesthetic styles of film and religious practices . finally , there is an interest in
cinematic experience and ritual ,
where a focus on spectatorship and its relation to ritual takes precedence . these categories often overlap in individual studies , and are charted here for heuristic reasons . the key question that divides these approaches seems to revolve around the location of meaning : is religious meaning found in the subject matter of the film , in the aesthetic form of the film , or in the experience of viewing the film ?

mahima chaudhry’s innocence in pardes was appreciated by all and even won her a filmfare award for best debut ( female ) . ahe disappeared from the scene for a while in 2008 , only to emerge earlier this year , first as the butt of jokes around a swiss bank account controversy and then for her foray into bengali cinema , with the film dark chocolate , where she’ll be playing a character inspired by indrani mukherjee .
ramgopal verma flubbed the formula test . sold at a very high price of 17 . 5 million per territory thanks to the sanjay dutt - urmila combination , the film collapsed like a pricked balloon . the film made losses of over rs 10 million per territory .
the study of film and religion became solidified through the decade of the 1990s , as evidenced by the upsurge of publications in the field , the establishment of a program unit on film and religion within the american academy of religion , and the launch of the online journal of religion and film . in many ways reacting to the earlier paradigm that found film and religion only in
serious
art house films , the 1990s witnessed the next wave of film and religion criticism , which self - consciously took popular hollywood film as its primary focus . biblical scholars and theologians began to take a second look at popular culture , and found a wealth of resources in film , particularly in popular film . christian theologians reworked reinhold niebuhr ' s and paul tillich ' s thoughts on the relation between christianity and culture , and decided that there must be an engagement with culture , with film being one of the cultural expressions par excellence in modern life . the prevalence of the ideas of tillich and niebuhr in film and religion studies , a half - century after their writing , attest to these theologians ' keen insights in relating religion and culture , though it probably also attests to the need for new theories of culture , since the culture of the first half of the twentieth century looks less and less like that of the twenty - first .

kabhi haan kabhi naa ( 1993 ) srk played the role of a young musician . it was a rare film where the hero played the role of a loser . it is considered one of khan ' s best performances , and he has said that it is his favorite film .
from another angle , the religious dimension to film form and style can also be seen in relation to the contemplative emphasis of various religious traditions , and here film becomes a new medium in a long list of visual media , from icons to yantras to thangka paintings , designed to facilitate meditation . francisca cho , for example , discusses the relation of korean buddhist films to a
cultic mode
of viewing heavily dependent on the aesthetic choices made in the making of film ( see cho in plate and jasper , 1999 ) . and as with each of the examples given here regarding
film as religion ,
cho ' s cultic mode of viewing film implicitly suggests that meaning cannot simply be found in the film form , for there must also be an audience that views the edited juxtapositions , the austere lighting , or the slow movement of actors .
this second wave is also marked by a number of explicitly christian theological studies , in contrast to the tendency to use existentially universal language evident in many of the first - wave publications . studies through the 1990s include the relation of film to christian , and occasionally jewish , understandings of the bible ; the relation of film to doctrines of christian theology ; and a plethora of works on christ figures in film . while there are a variety of interests indicated in these works , they can be seen collectively through their examination of popular film , by their chiefly christian theological orientation , and ultimately by the ways they see religion in film , paying scant attention to the specificities of the medium or the role of spectatorship .
using these lines , subash ghai made and promoted a film where the sentiment of loving your maatrbhoomi was re - enforced in almost every scene .
the film had a strange storyline , about a wife who sells her husband . but though it flew in the face of convention , the film did well . of course , it could also have something to do with the presence of anil kapoor , sridevi and the sensuous urmila matondkar .

, 3d ed . ( oxford , 2002 ) . many of the early film theorists took this approach as well ; see the sources listed above .
because postmodern , postcolonial life consists of multicultural and interreligious encounters on a regular basis , there is an obvious need to branch out beyond the hollywood centrism evident in a majority of film - and - religion studies in the past . films made outside of hollywood do not conform to the same aesthetic standards that capitalist , industrial film relies upon , and by looking at films made in south america , africa , and asia , for example , and through attention to film form and reception , the student of film and religion begins to see the ways other worlds are visually constructed , not excluding religious worlds .
there were karisma , rambha and two salman khans in the film . it started of well and then lost steam . the film , sold for just rs 12 . 5 million per territory , caught the fancy of the masses with its racy lyrics and rap music . all in true david dhawan style .
way before karan johar taught us that “it’s all about loving your parents , ” subhash ghai schooled us well in the belief that it’s all about loving your country . from proudly singing i love my india to hoping , wishing and praying that ganga finds her true bliss with arjun , the 1997 film pardes gave us lots of special moments and more . but almost 20 years down the line , where can we find the cast members of this somewhat patriotic love saga now ? let’s find out…

whereas in ddlj nri ' s are viewed mostly positively , in pardes they are filled with vice and mostly evil . and we ' re supposed to view as good family values the heroine ' s offer to her father to kill herself with poison for besmirching the family honor when she returns home after an attempted rape ? um , no .
a film about the battle between love and fear , between two stubborn men and their opposing beliefs and the outcome of the love stories of 3 couples .
and the title number amusing audiences , the film was sold at rs 10 million per territory and recovered , on average , rs 20 million per territory .
the film released in 2003 and did well at the box office , opening the way for a new genre of films like mumbai matinee and morning raga .
planet bollywood also positively reviewed bannerjee ' s performance , but criticised the film for having a

the sanjay dutt magic has withered and waned . or maybe several years in the making made the film , which also stars madhuri dixit , lose its lustre . it was sold at rs 15 million per territory and was swiftly pulled out of theatres . the film could not even manage rs 5 million per territory .
whether a film plot is based on a messiah , a saint , a bodhisattva , a pilgrimage , a reenactment of a sacred text , or whether religious performances are displayed in documentary film , religion shows up in film on a regular basis . this way of thinking about the relation between film and religion seems to be the most apparent to the textual and narrative bias of most religious studies , and it has therefore become the most prominent method of examining the relationship . as with so much of the study of religion itself , a vast majority of these studies have been based in christian theology and display a euro - american outlook .
the film sold at rs 15 million per territory and made almost double the sum invested , rs 29 million . in bombay it got back rs 35 million .

the religious implications of film reception are most obvious when the experience is understood and analyzed in terms of ritual ; this is not to say that every screening of every film is a ritual , for that would make both terms meaningless , but that the cinematic experience can become a ritual . we can see this when viewers perform

in july . in these ritualized performances , the religious content of the film is beside the point . rather , what is crucial is the way these activities occur at special

times ( often in seasonal cycles ) and in special places ( whether the living room of the family home or in the film theater ) in which there is an emphasis on a communal experience and on the aesthetics of seeing and listening ( and usually eating as well ) , and on interacting with other viewers and with the film . whatever else a ritual is , it certainly aims to be an activity that promotes attentiveness and sensual focus , and film form enables just that .

, the cinematic transformation of reality through the technological properties inherent in the form of film itself . because of its emphasis on the formal properties of filmmaking , much of this early film theory did not depend on narrative film , and indeed often triumphed nonlinear , nonnarrative films . thus , through the camera ' s ability to slow down or speed up
real time ,
or to juxtapose images in ways that display new relations , or to zoom in on particular segments of visual reality , the world itself is reconfigured and viewers are given a brand new outlook , a new
worldview .

the truth of the world in an altogether new form . and even though debates eventually emerged between the realists and antirealists in film theory , both arguments have implications for a religious view of film form .

which is a critical point of interrogation for the scholar of religion . while theorists of film and religion continually mention the importance of audience reception , very little work has been done in this area . scholars often theorize about the effect of editing , for example , but seldom do they do any ethnographic work to find out how audiences actually do react . more complicated still would be a study that gauged the responses to a particular film in varying locations , times , and cultures , thereby reorienting the location of the meaning of film to the cinematic event .

of all the films of shahrukh khan which are available on dvd , i would say this is one of the least pleasing i ' ve seen . try just about any other one first . this tangled , jumbled mess of a film makes little if any sense at all . any film with alok nath trying to slash someone to death with a sword is a bad one .
bollywood ( hindi cinema ) has had an amazing impact upon cinema audiences as well as scholars of film studies outside of india . arguably , hindi cinema has always provided a nostalgic link to the indian diaspora scattered around the world ( manas ray , 2000 ) , but it is only recently that western audiences , film studies scholars and film critics , ( who until recently described the genre somewhat negatively , and in some ways looked down upon the hindi cinema industry ) , have turned their attention to bollywood . until this period , it was predominantly films from the ‘parallel cinema’ in india , ( screened in art - house cinemas in western europe and north america ) that received attention and in some cases awards in the west . a noteworthy development occurred in 2001 when bollywood was recognised as an industry in india . the campaigning groups were the film federation and lobby groups who demanded legal status for the film industry under the industrial dispute act of 1947 . this meant that the film industry that was previously privately funded could now be funded by national banks . this period marked the new era in hindi cinema .

deal with the religious reception of films . film and religion are usefully brought together by the use of such third terms as cultural studies , media studies , or visual culture . from a media studies perspective , see eric rothenbuhler ' s
the subfield of film and religion has gradually gained acceptance in religious studies , and prominent theorists of religion now regularly incorporate discussion of films into their analyses of myth , ritual , and other aspects of religion . alongside this development are newer modes of religious inquiry that utilize material and visual artifacts as primary evidence , rather than
illustration ,
of religious belief and practice . as part of a broader movement within religious studies that is increasingly paying attention to visual - and material - culture studies ( and concomitantly emphasizing religious practice rather than merely belief ) , film and religion studies can continue to play a vital role in the shaping of religious studies and not merely be an appendage to the discipline . along these lines there are two key directions that the field is beginning to take ( and will likely keep elaborating on ) . first , film and religion studies is moving beyond the christian - hollywood matrix and displaying the varieties of global religious experiences and traditions as mediated through film . second , religious approaches to film are helping to point out the constructed nature of vision by making links between visual representation and the creation of socioreligious , worlds with all their attendant myths , ideologies , and practices .
