Abstract "Examining a broad range of films that feature the double plot, from classics like Mahal (1949) and Madhumati (1958) to contemporary commercial hits such as Kal Ho Na Ho (2003) and Dostana (2008), Recognition in Hindi Cinema traces the evolution of the trope within the post-independence period in India. Considering how these films incorporated transgressive narratives like cross-dressing and gender disguise, Richard Allen highlights how these cinematic motifs navigate the complexities of traditional worldviews and modern experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
