Riddhi Son– Media Studies I hate luv stories– my cast studies I hate luv stories is postmodern because of the use of references and parody moments of Bollywood, some which have been shown and some which have been told trough t he storyline. Other postmodern elements such as irony have also been used through the story line. Postmodern is a complex theory with many different definitions but postmodernism is a reaction to modernism in all disciplines such as art/film/video games/music/literature/etc. The song SADKA KIYA is very postmodern because it has reference to other Bollywood films, it s tarts will a direct reference to DIL CHAHTA HAI, as the actor closes his eyes he can see the love of his life, this reference is very clear to the audience as it is done in a very similar way by using the same colour change effect making every but the girl black and white showing the audience she is the most important, and through using the same fades and transactions between cuts within this sequences. Then shows a famous scene from MOHABBATEIN has been referenced several times through one famous stance the and the clothes being worn as this is direct reference to the film. Pastiche has also been used in the song, the actor and actresses are referencing and copying the couple from KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, another element of pastiche is shown by showing famous romantic couple within Bollywood for example in a scene where J and Simran are near mountains and with sand and a lake, which is where a song from BACHNA AE HASEENO, the scene after show J and Simran in a park, J wears a green shirt and Simran wears a Blue dress exactly like in DIL CHAHTA HAI.
