The History of Indian Cinema with Karan Johar | On Film

Renowned Indian filmmaker Karan Johar presents a concise overview of the evolution of Indian cinema from the 1940s onwards in an exclusive interview inside TIFF's Studio 9.

Progressing through the years, Johar explores the exuberant and youthful films of the 60s, the era of socially aware filmmaking in the 70s, and the rise of the remake in the 80s. He discusses the significant changes that came in the 90s as India's economy opened up, influencing the film industry's narratives and production values. The discussion leads into the high-octane and vibrant cinema of the early 2000s, concluding with Johar's insights and aspirations for the ongoing growth and innovation in Indian cinema's future.
