Dil Chahta Hai was India's first mainstream Hindi movie meant for English-speaking and English-aspiring people.
The habitus of the film — unapologetically — consisted entirely of India's elite lifeworlds.
It was an India of five-star resorts, beach volleyball, artistic retreats in the hills, businesses in Australia, Merc convertibles — all lived through a cosmopolitan lens.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music was much more accessible to people who listened mostly to Western rock/pop than the songs of previous Bollywood movies meant for the rich — e.g., the Karan Johar/Aditya Chopra movies.
Dil Chahta Hai was released at a peculiar moment of great optimism for India's professional-managerial middle class. They were earning more, living better lives and, therefore, were getting automatically distanced from the everyday miseries of the remaining 95 per cent of Indians.
I don't think such a movie can be made today, as the middle class goes into decline.
In fact, Zoya Akhtar's attempt to update the spirit of Dil Chahta Hai, with Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, had a much smaller reach, because it was already about a narrower class which had risen above the rest of the middle class itself.
In retrospect, Dil Chahta Hai was a product of a short-lived economic bubble that has now burst.
The very fact that Indian Goverment offices require photocopies is a sign that India is a 4th world country.
The US, every Govt office I have been to, either takes pdfs or images or will make copies themselves.
Visit a government registration office.
Counter 1 sends you to Counter 4.
Counter 4 wants a photocopy.
Photocopy shop sends you back upstairs.
Upstairs says, “Come tomorrow.”
Digital India. Physical cardio. 😂🙄
Todays generation? Umm, not really..
I see only two types these days
- the urbane consuming whatever non indian content they can get their hands on - good/bad/ugly
- dehatis watching pushpa
The era of people with substance and sophistication will end with millennials..
