Retelling Diaspora through Films

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Theorizing cinema from a national and transnational perspective is central to diasporic cinema, which also centers on questions of home, belonging, and nationality. Films provide a platform for the expression of multi-faceted identities rooted in doubt, as opposed to rigid allegiances to ethnicity and nationalism. The Indian Diaspora has used a variety of ways to portray its mindset. Topics such as identity, transnationality, migration, and nationalism are introduced through Diaspora as a technique in film presentation across disciplines when these human journeys are discussed. One of India's most beloved artistic forms is film. Indian cinema has acquired a large audience in more than 90 countries. Indians living in these 90 nations and other places are as likely as any other audience to flock to these massive Indian film blockbusters.
