Indian popular cinema is both a reaction to India’s globalization and a driver of it.

For this assignment, YOU WILL WATCH THE MOVIE: Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga  (Available on Netflix) .

Write a 6 page (double-spaced) paper on how the film expresses both Indian and global desires. As appropriate, you may want to consider such topics as melodrama, realism, and family, as discussed in the lectures.

Your paper must be argumentative. It should be clear the point you are arguing, and what is the evidence from the film you are providing to back up that argument. You should be detailed about characters, narrative, music, or whatever specific elements of the film best support your argument. This is not a film review. Your opinion of the film is not important here.
