Billboards or huge posters promoting a new film, have long traditions in Bollywood. Imagine that you have been asked to create an English-language billboard for a Bollywood film. (If you do not know of any, choose one from the list below.)

Find some pictures and do some research on the film, especially on the actors and the general plot. Do not forget that it should be geared toward an English-speaking audience.

Use the information and pictures to create a "billboard". You probably do not have the tools to produce in a real billboard format, so just use your digital software like PowerPoint or Impress to present it.

If you have the chance to present your billboard in class, you might want to add some snippets of the music from the film to spice up your presentation. Search the internet using the film's title as a key word (hint: There are several songs on YouTube, for example).


Some film titles:

Devdas (2002)
Jodhaa Akbar (2008)
Dhoom 2 (2006)
Lagaan (2001)
Omkara (2006)
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)
