AB The Western image of India has traditionally been based on the attraction of stereotypes likethe exotic, the mystical or the spiritual; if this imaginative construct is evident in literature,with examples like Paul Scott’s The Jewel in The Crown and E.M. Forster’s A Passage toIndia. I suggest that this recreation could also be applicable to cinema through stereotypi-cal visions that originally appear in films about India. In this article I aim to explain theevolution of Indian cinema as a genre of its own, using postcolonial concepts like ‘mimicry’,‘hybridity’ or ‘liminality’ discussed by H.K. Bhabha in The Location of Culture (1994), andthrough the threefold perspective developed by Priyamvada Gopal in The Indian EnglishNovel: Nation, History and Narration (2009).
