ABSTRACT:
The Indian audiovisual media scenario has always been very sensitive to change. It is the contention of this paper that since the growth in awareness, in the last decade, of the postcolonial status of Indian culture, a critical self-consciousness has started to play a distinctive role in our audio-visual media. The paper wishes to focus on the confluence of music and visual in popular culture – namely film songs and music videos to show how they reflect Indian postcoloniality at two levels: (a) Unconsciously, the audio-visuals depict different dimensions and issues that prevail in Indian culture today, and thus, implicitly, draw attention to issues like identity, nationalism, hybridity, vernacularization and so on. (b) Consciously, many of these audiovisuals contemplate these issues, depict their problematization and critique them, thus generating an audiovisual discourse of postcoloniality.
