While analyzing with the Sex Role Perspective, I will utilize the items for evaluating masculinity and femininity as presented by Hyde (1995, p. 134), and these specific items will be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">italicized<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In this post, I will be discussing the music video for \u201cBadri Ki Dulhania\u201d from the Bollywood movie <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Badrinath Ki Dulhania<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link to video: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1YBl3Zbt80A\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Badri Ki Dulhania (Title Track) Varun, Alia, Tanishk, Neha, Monali, Ikka | &#8220;Badrinath Ki Dulhania&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Evaluating Masculinity<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reinforcing stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main male character is often shown with sunglasses on and wearing black clothing. His appearance, in combination with his mannerisms, present him as stereotypically <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dominant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and having a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the song, the phrase \u201cBadri ki dulhania\u201d is repeated. Badri is the name of the main male character, and this phrase translates to \u201cBadri\u2019s bride\u201d or \u201cthe bride of Badri.\u201d Referring to the main female character as being &#8220;Badri&#8217;s bride&#8221; reinforces the idea of Badri, as a man, being stereotypically <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dominant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> over his bride, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">independent<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-reliant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Resisting stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main male character is seen softly touching the main female character\u2019s face in several instances, which resists stereotypically masculine traits like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">individualistic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and instead portrays stereotypically feminine traits like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gentle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At several points, the men and women are wearing relatively equally revealing clothing. These instances of a somewhat equal standard of modesty resist stereotypes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Evaluating Femininity<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reinforcing stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of the women in this music video, including the main female character, are shown with pink, red, or purple clothing, accessories, lighting, and more, associating femininity with stereotypically <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">warm<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> colors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a couple instances, the main male character is shown picking up, holding, and twirling the main female character. This portrays the female character as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">childlike<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Resisting stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In one instance, the main female character playfully shoves the main male character away, portraying the female character as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">assertive <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forceful<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, stereotypically masculine traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In most instances, the women in the music video are doing the same dance moves as the men. In general, these dance moves are not overly feminine and can portray stereotypically masculine traits like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forcefulness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main female character makes eye contact with the main male character and with the camera many times and also makes many distinct facial expressions throughout the music video. In this way, she is portrayed as less <i><span>shy <\/span><\/i><span>and instead having a more <\/span><i><span>strong personality<\/span><\/i><span>, a stereotypically masculine trait.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am analyzing the most viewed Bollywood music videos on YouTube using the Sex Role Perspective.
