[icernet] Daring to be different, Hinglish leads Indian films

[Arul Selvan]

As Bollywood and its candy-floss romances flounder at an all-time low, a 
new breed of sometimes disturbing films is wowing Indian audiences with 
taboo tales of incest, homosexuality and religious violence. Dubbed 
Hinglish -- Hindi-English -- these low-cost productions are cashing in 
on the growth of a large urban elite whose first language is English and 
newer, smaller cinemas that give niche movies a longer shelf-life. 
Hinglish spurns box-office names -- it can't afford them, anyway -- 
experiments with camera angles and tackles issues many find prickly in a 
deeply conservative society where nudity has yet to make it on-screen 
and a kiss can still stir controversy.
