You and your students will get to understand how powerful Bollywood is and how it hinges on both tradition and modernity to appeal to its audience.
As the Quai Branly museum is organising an exhibition from October 2023 to January 2024, this could be the perfect occasion to help your students discover more about this aspect of the Indian culture, all the more so as if you are using Shine Bright 3e File 2 British Indian fusion or Shine Bright Terminale file 19 Indian girl power.
