Bollywood cinema includes a variety of genres. Its superior ability to create a connection between all layers of viewers gives us a reason to explore the hidden representations in Bollywood cinema. Not long after India regained its independence, a new era of Indian cinema began. This era produced heartbreaking films, full of patriotic messages and a very clean concept of national progress. The core concept of the nation-state has been integrated into almost every Hindi film made since then. Nationalism meant protecting the accumulation of wealth within the nation, countries like India were going through a phase of protectionism. However, a significant problem arose: within India, the nation was made up of diverse cultures and many languages, so creating the homogeneity needed to drive this nation-state concept would simply fall by the wayside, unless some types of unification methods had been adopted. it has not evolved. Indian cinema, mainly talking about Hindi cinema, now known as Bollywood cinema, has created this imaginary of a nation. Bollywood cinema has adapted the conservative and “ancient” tradition, as a modern idea of ​​“nation”. There creating a separate category of melodrama which was termed "feudal family romance" by Madhava Prasad. This melodrama encompassed a filmmaking technique in which the nation was represented as a family on screen. And all the problems the family faced were a small representation of the larger national problems. The realism used in these representations was also modified to fit this “national” interest. These were just fragments of reality borrowed and crafted to resemble the problems faced by the entire Indian nation. So in reality these were the problems mainly faced by the b...... middle of paper ...... as in QSQT, this is still in conflict with what happens in reality. Which brings me to my last point, epic melodrama in Hindi cinema, creates a fictional realism, which can only be depicted through films, this realism is in contrast to what the nation and people go through in everyday life . These are perhaps representations of the feelings that people have always had. However, although epic melodrama successfully weaves together the contradictory ideologies, but when shown through a realistic point of view, these ideologies will fail. Epic melodrama is a cinematic technique that attracts and creates all the emotions that are portrayed by the characters. heard by the cinema audience, but it ends the moment the film ends, since the implementation in real life of all the messages is not only difficult, but in my opinion up to a certain point impossible.
