In the article“Sare Jahan Se Achchha Hindustan Hamara”? The Western world in Karan Johar’s films, Tatiana Szurlej describes the works of this famous Indian director. She presents foreign, mostly western influences on the Indian culture. Films of Karan Johar are often regarded as praise of traditional Indian culture opposed to the western world. Tatiana Szurlej tries to prove, that Johar’s films only seemingly praise Indianness. In fact, Johar’s films often condemn the Indian blindness and the intolerance. The director tries to confront the west openness with this attitude. The Indian tradition is the source of tensions and endearing heroes in his films, but Johar does not criticise it completely. He believes that Indian and western tradition do not have to compete, because they both represent good and bad aspects. Tatiana Szurlej presents four films directed by Johar and one with his screenplay and shows the development of this idea.

The present paper is a short presentation on the most popular historical films produced in Bollywood after 2000, which proved to be a great success both in India and abroad, and which represent not only the era of British domination in the Subcontinent but also the subsequent independence. This time was rather traumatic for India, because of the division of the country and the accompanying violence, which was on an unprecedented scale, making it unappealing material for a mainstream movie. This paper presents some common ways in which filmmakers in India introduce every uncomfortable historical fact and show victory in a particular way without revealing the dark and uncomfortable aspects of the times in question. The purpose of this article is to present the observed basic methods employed by filmmakers in manipulating the audience, rather than to be historical research, or detailed discussion of all historical films about the era of British domination in the Subcontinent.
