Rise of the zombie
 

I would put this film into the horror-romance genre, it is a little gory at times but much of the narrative relates to back to him and his ex-girlfriend and their love for each other. Some of the soundtracks used are quite eerie and there are a couple of jump scares too, this could help broaden out to two audiences at once as romance and horror are two completely different genres but they work well together.

The production context for this film is Bollywood, this explains why the narrative is quite romance driven as all Bollywood films are massively to do with romance and love. The songs in this film are written to tell the story of the film and they also last a lot longer than they would in British or Hollywood. The things that were allowed to be shot for this film were much more strict than it is in British or Hollywood films, this includes nudity, language used, violence, gore and other things like this too.

The star of this film is Luke Kenny of Italian-Irish descent, he directed and acted in this film, he is also known for starring in Rock On!! and Bombay Boys but if you're not a fan of Bollywood films it is unlikely that you will know this star who may be quite well known in India but outside of there he probably isn't well known at all.

The soundtracks used sound very typically Asian/Indian in most of the songs and tunes. The dialog seemed quite simple as only one person would speak at one time at most. It got pretty confusing when they kept switching from speaking English to their own language but in India that is common for people to do so it makes sense why they did it. They only have two locations throughout the film which is very different compared to World War Z as they used many different famous locations all over the world.

Some of the equipment used was surprisingly good like the camera quality but the sound technology was very disappointing and uneven sounding quite muffled up when it went to different cameras so it seems like they used external mics on the cameras to get the sound and not any real audio equipment or if they did they didn't use it consistently. The make-up used for the zombies was decent but it wasn't to a great standard like Hollywood zombie films as the make-up used there is much better plus they have CGI which Bollywood films don't have the budget to create great CGI to make the zombies look better, this is normal for a Bollywood film.

I think the narrative was fairly decent and a good production for this region but they could improve on the acting, make-up, locations, sound equipment and some special effects. The audio when it kept changing in quality just made it more obvious. The intro contradicts the film as it seems so happy and colourful with an up-beat soundtrack at the start and  by the end there's panic in the streets with a zombie outbreak.
