Podcasts about lollywood

The specialisation of our species is storytelling -- and yet, some people say, we are really just telling the same stories again and again. Welcome to Episode 69 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Amit discusses the classic book by Christopher Booker, The Seven Basic Plots. Booker asserts that there are just seven storylines we recycle again and again -- and all of literature & Hollywood & Bollywood & Tollywood & Lollywood draw on these. What are they? Can there be more? Why should we never feel constrained as storytellers? What do Jaws, Sholay and the Russia-Ukraine war have in common?

Fresh figures from China show the world's second biggest economy took a big hit as a result of strict coronavirus lockdowns. Shirley Yu, a senior practitioner fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, explains. US President Joe Biden is due to land in Saudi Arabia today. The White House described Saudi Arabia's decision to open it's airspace to Israeli planes as an important step towards a more stable Middle East. The BBC's Middle East business correspondent Sameer Hashmi has the latest update. As harvest time looms, countries that rely on importing grain are hoping for crop prices to fall. But drought and heatwaves mean it's not looking good. Arnaud Petit is the executive director of the International Grain Council; he says that crop-producing countries have until October to export grain in time for new crops. Ghana's annual inflation rate climbed to 29.8% last month, the highest since late 2003. The BBC's West Africa business journalist, Nkechi Ogbonna explains what representatives from the IMF have agreed. We delve into the glamorous world of Bollywood and Lollywood, Pakistan's film industry which is named after the city of Lahore. The BBC's Emb Hashmi asked the stars of the new Lollywood film 'London Nahi Jaunga' about the finance behind the film making. One of the industries that will be vital for Sri Lanka's economic recovery is the tourism sector. Shiromal Cooray is the chairman and managing director of Jetwing Travels and Chairman of Jetwing Hotels tells us how her business is coping.

This episode explores what sort of movies were shown in Lahore in the 1920s. Most were American/Hollywood pictures. But Indian movies were more popular.

This episode is in two parts. The first traces the emergence of the movie culture in Lahore and focuses on the growth of cinema halls in the city.

Lahore is a city with an ancient pedigree. It's history goes back to the very beginnings of Hindu India. But when the British took control of Punjab in 1849 the city was mostly in ruins and long past its glory days.  Over the next 100 years the British transformed Lahore into one of the most important and culturally dynamic and vibrant places in India. The perfect place for new ideas and technologies to take off--the movie making.

Punjab is home to one of the most dynamic, diverse and ancient cultural traditions in South Asia. And it is this rich cultural heritage of stories, music and drama that gave rise to the film industry in Lahore. 

How the Parsi community, refugees from Zoroastrian Persia, landed up in India and went on to become a major force in the development of early South Asian film industry.

How two botanical products fueled the rise of Bombay and allowed it to become, eventually, South Asia's main film producing city. 

Even though the men who invented the movie camera and the first films didn't believe it had any commercial future, they sent a Frenchman to Australia--via Bombay--to show their new magical toy.   By the time the Frenchman left--several weeks later--India was changed for ever.In this episode we look at how and when movies first were exhibited in India and introduce you to some of the early adopters who played a pivotal role in establishing cinema in South Asia.

The Partition of British India in August 1947 that created the new country of Pakistan seemed to signal the end of the movie making dream for the city of Lahore.    For the city's biggest film mogul, Roop Kishore Shorey, the events of that summer were almost too much to bear.

Join me for a unique history podcast that traces the fascinating, untold story of Pakistani movie industry based in and around the city of Lahore.
