ABSTRACT

A study of Bombay Cinema, or the so-called Bollywood, will no longer be complete without looking at the consumption of Bollywood movies because this cinema is now global in a specifically diasporic sense. This paper is an attempt to unveil the nature of engagement between Bollywood movies and second-generation Indian diaspora. This study is based on the coming of age of the second generation of the Indian-American diaspora and their engagement with twenty-first century Bollywood movies. A group of young Indian Americans were interviewed over the telephone to find out the ways in which second-generation consume movies in comparison to that of the first-generation migrants. This article shows how their readings of Bollywood movies converge on themes of nostalgia, nation, and feminism, along with how their situational identities play out to resolve their sometimes contradictory cultural expectations.
