About the Book
This fascinating exploration of the Indian goddess archetypes in modern media delves into how figures like Parvati, Lakshmi, Kali, and Saraswati have shaped Bollywood cinema and beyond. In this thought-provoking work, Shyaonti Talwar examines why these deities are so prominently featured in cinematic plots and what their presence reveals about women’s roles in media. From the portrayal of female cops as modern-day Durga to the Lakshmi-like characters in political dramas like House of Cards and Scandal, the book uncovers the enduring influence of mythology on contemporary culture. Through an in-depth analysis of mythology and its intersection with modern-day storytelling, Talwar advocates for more empowering representations of women in media. This book is a must-read for both film lovers and those interested in mythology, as it presents a new lens through which to view the portrayal of women in film and television.
