Bollywood movies that take on with gusto nationalist sentiments almost always garner positive responses from the audience. While they evoke very clear feelings of patriotism with their plots, they also use their sub-plots very cleverly to aid the justification of overly melodramatic sequences. One such plot device is the white woman in Bollywood movies - badly represented for the sake of offering a contrast to the native woman. However, it does not just stop at showing the pitfalls of westernisation and the Indian woman’s ability to embrace a stiff mix of modernity with sanskaar; it also requires the Indian man’s approval of both these women.
