This document discusses the portrayal of Muslims in Bollywood films from an Orientalist perspective. It begins with an introduction to Edward Said's book Orientalism, which defined differences between East and West and challenged stereotypes. The document then discusses how modern Orientalism and Western views have negatively portrayed Islam and Muslims. It argues that some Bollywood films, like Padmaavat, Lamhaa, Kalank, and Raees, have similarly portrayed Muslim families and communities in a stereotypical and negative light. The conclusion states that Bollywood movies often depict Muslims in India and worldwide in a more negative rather than positive manner, which can spread and reinforce stereotypes.
