Chak De! India gave us a Muslim protagonist who loved his country and his religion at the same time, even when the country questioned whether he belonged to it. This isn’t me endorsing Bollywood. It’s about consuming different kinds of media to understand the politics and culture of the moment that produced them. Before Bollywood’s current turn toward increasingly Hindu nationalist and anti-Muslim narratives, some of its biggest actors, writers and lyricists were Muslim. So I want to take you back to that era through Shah Rukh Khan’s films, and explore why he may be the last of a generation of stars Bollywood might never produce again. #shahrukhkhan #southasia #bollywood #moviereview
