The Arts Dialogue - Movies, magic, life - Making movies work in a brand new decade.
Since Deewana, his debut film in 1992, two things have changed for Shah Rukh Khan. The manner in which he is perceived; and the industry he works in. The one-time television rookie is today the Hindi film industry's pre-eminent superstar. And Bollywood, as this Mumbai-based industry is popularly known, has shed its low-tech reputation and relative clumsiness of form to morph into an edgy juggernaut that competes aggressively in the era of high-decibel entertainment TV. In great part this is because the art of storytelling has changed with the evolution of Indian audiences into a more aspirational, aware, and nationally and globally wired society. How has this art really changed? How have new writers and new directors refreshed Bollywood's vision? How will the industry change in this decade-in India and globally? Will screen stars still rule, or will special effects? Will the way we watch movies change the way we make them? Shah Rukh Khan talks about all this and more as he recounts his own experiences of showing movies from India to the world.
