1. Age? 20


2. Gender? Male


3. Ethnic Background? British Desi


4. Do you think that there is a major difference with Bollywood now and films that were produced 15 years ago?
Yeah, Even more leg sheg are being shown... [Note my display pic]

5. Do you think that films now are better quality to what they were, in terms of how the story is represented to the audience?
Films themselves as regard to quality are much better, but baring the story in mind, you cant beat some of the storys which came out in the past, Todays storys are all about 'Bedding your best friends husband etc etc' (Which i dont mind , but needs a lil variety once in a while...)

6. Do you think the target audience that Bollywood films are aimed at are only one particular type of audience in terms of their age?
(If YES then what age do you think the films are aimed at?)
Some films are quality and are family watches, such as Bhagban, K3G. But some films are more aimed at more younger audiences such as Aitraaz, Jism, Page3 Etc... Which are for the kids that go out to watch a movie. Not so much familys going out on a sunday to watch a good film.

7. Do you think that the way in which Bollywood films illustrate female gender roles has changed in the last 15 years?
(If YES then how do you think the roles have changed?)
Yeah, quite simple really... Films are moving with the times, and with good reason to, in the past women were portrayed as doing the housework, abused by husband when not doing such, but now... women are seen as career women, who go out and LIVE their life, and build a future for themselves.


8. Do you think the Bollywood film industry and how its female characters and storylines are portrayed affect the representation of women in the last 15 years?
Well... Kinda..... but i wouldnt say it would affect the past 15 years..

9. Do you think that Bollywood films portray women and men using gender stereotypes?
(If YES then in what ways do you think the representation has changed of women and men from films 15 years ago?)
No... They keep it balanced.... They don't just use one model, and some films use really amazing storylines, and actresses to play the part, some roles whicha are out of the 'Norm'.

10. Do you think that producers of Bollywood films rely on how much money is put towards the production of the film which make it market successfully?
Some films such as 'Page 3', And other flop titles, are obviously not given the same finance as something like Dhoom3, obviously this affects the exposure to the market, but these days the soundtracks are the main source of promotion, and marketing, such as u see a song on B4U "wowww yaar i love that songgg, vich film is it from?' Thats the reaction u get from a typical asian lol! (lol Im steretyping now)

11. Do you think the influence of western cinema has had an impact of the Bollywood film industry within the last 15 years?
(If YES then how do you think western cinema has influenced Bollywood films?)
Yeah... Krissh = Batman! LMAOO!

12. Do you feel people like Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty have made an impact on Hollywood and Britain?
(if YES please elaborate how)
Yeah... Aishwarya Rai is damn gorgeous, and so is Shilpa.., anyway back to topic...... Aish started it off.. with Bride and Prejudice and then the mistress film, which have put herself, and also the asian market firmly on the british dvd charts. and Shilpa with Big Brother has came and made her mark, and because at the moment they see her as a sex symbol, they are interested in her films, hence british people heading into the bollywood movie stores/sites.
