Event Details : 'The singer not the song?' Song and dance are integral to Hindi cinema, now usually known as ‘Bollywood’. Much loved by audiences, the songs are one of many non-realistic features characteristic of these films. This richly illustrated lecture examines ways in which contemporary filmmakers seek new ways to incorporate songs and give them continued importance, juxtaposing this with the practices of the ‘golden era’.
