Abstract
- This paper explores the Indian sports film as a category that gains popularity after the economic reforms of the 1990s. Influenced by the Hollywood sports film and global neoliberal ideals, these films incorporate local ideological influences and contribute to the prevailing discourse about sport in India. While mainstream films convey dominant values associated with sport, there are films which challenge these notions. This study examines two such films, Mukkabaaz (2017) and Sudani from Nigeria (2018), which carry subversive potential against hegemonic conceptions of individual, community, nation and merit, and offer an alternate understanding of sport and its role in society.
