Abstract
This paper analyzes the interplay of both Western audiovisual landscape and Bollywood cinema, cultural contexts that are constantly polluting each other, but due to the asymmetry of the different political categories of origin, a critical analysis that helped us to determine what the political consequences are when a peripheral cinema imitates a globally entitled cinema would be required. To achieve this, once drawn the media and cultural landscape of this cinematic dialogue, we will illustrate the effects of Western mimesis of India products with the study of a particular case. This detailed analysis will allow us to establish two distinct interpretative hypotheses that will attempt to determine whether Western mimesis of Bollywood cinema is an ironic appropriation that subtracts the value of the cited product or, conversely, a hybrid product with the vocation of achieving a transnational dialogue.
