Situates the remake as one of the primary responses to Bollywood's globalization and corporatization.

Focused on post-1990 Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films, Déjà Viewed tells a larger story of the rapidly changing Indian film industry in the wake of globalization and corporatization. It situates the remake as a gendered response to these changes, drawing on approaches from film theory, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book looks at films from a variety of genres and modes, including the Bollywood family film, romantic comedy, noir, and melodrama, and each film's close analysis is accompanied by attention to concerns related to remake theory, such as homage, anxiety of influence, defamiliarization, and pastiche. Seeking to historicize how gender and genres become translated and transformed in the Bollywood remake, the book contributes to transnational understandings of gender and genre as media texts move across various borders-geographic, cinematic, economic, and aesthetic.
