Summary/Abstract: European viewers associate Indian cinema especially with Bollywood’s commercial film industry. However, India is currently witnessing the rise of a “new wave” of independent filmmakers who are not afraid to reflect reality and reveal the taboo of the controversial and multilayered Indian society. Despite difficult conditions in distribution, young filmmakers recount original and meaningful stories in their inspiring productions. Using three films as examples (Six Feet High, 2014, dir. Sanal Kunal Sasidharan; The Divine Call, 2014, dir. Aadish Keluskar; Fandry, 2013, dir. Nagraj Manjule), the paper presents their formal and content points of departure and aesthetic principles, focusing on the definition of “taboo” and its disruption in Indian society.
