Contemporary Marathi Cinema: Space, Marginality, and Aspiration
Hrishikesh Sudhakar Ingle's revolutionary tome presents an intricate investigation into the vibrant realm of post-2000 Marathi cinema, meticulously uncovering the textual, industrial, and cultural elements that signify its current resurgence. This astute examination scrutinizes the essence of 'novelty' in Marathi films, emphasizing their profound interaction with both intellectual rigor and social commentary, which stand as defining features of contemporary artistry. Ingle categorizes four pivotal emotional landscapes that Marathi filmmakers have navigated since the turn of the century: a poignant evocation of nostalgia, ambitious social aspirations, reflective narratives from marginalized voices, and the interplay of transnational influences. The narrative engages in a critical discourse surrounding essential matters such as cinematic policy, the economics of multiplexes, diverse genre dynamics, matters of queer representation, and the overarching neoliberal frameworks. An indispensable resource for scholars and students captivated by Indian cinema, regional film artistry, media studies, and cultural analysis, this publication also captivates filmmakers and cinema enthusiasts eager to explore the dynamic evolution of Marathi film.
