    While India has been behind the rest of the world when it comes to game development, it doesn’t mean we aren’t catching up. There are more studios opening up in India that assist in making globally successful games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed and countless others. However, there are plenty of games that have been produced and developed in India from the ground up that are coming to consoles and phones soon or are already out right now. Here are four incredible games that were developed in India:
    1. Prince of Persia Remake © Ubisoft
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake is about to launch all over the world soon and it would be prudent to point out that the game was developed at the Mumbai and Pune studios of Ubisoft. The game is a remake of the original game that was released in 2003 with updated graphics and gameplay mechanics. The game has been in development for a couple of years and it will be released for PC, PS4 and the Xbox One on January 21st 2021.

    Developed by ‘Nodding Heads Games’ from Pune, Raji: An Ancient Epic is already out for the Nintendo Switch and will be making its way to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later this month. The game has been highly influenced by Transistor and Bastion by SuperGiant Games. Oddly enough, the game needed £120,000 but failed to achieve their goal. However, the studio still pulled through and managed to complete the game.

    Remember the movie? Well, this game was released at the same time in 2008 by FXLabs and Geetha Arts. While the game is not considered to be that great, it was still a great attempt at developing and releasing a 3D action-adventure game at a time when India wasn’t really known for making games. It had an impressive render of Aamir Khan who plays the character of Sanjay Singhania. It follows the same story as the movie which was a rip-off of Memento. 

    4. FAU-G  © Core-Games
    We all know about FAU-G or Fearless and United: Guards that is set to release for smartphones later this month. The game has been in development for months and is based on the incidents that occurred in the Galwan Valley region. The game was under fire for using a stock image for their poster and having a hilarious play on the name of the game based on the popular Battle Royale game PUBG. It has been described as “a new multiplayer mid-core gaming title” by the developers which means it may not have any form of battle-royale mode.

    Growing up in India, Bollywood is fed into our systems right from our childhood and is no less than a staple diet for movie buffs in the country. The world's largest entertainment industry has the power to influence millions of people who blindly follow what Bollywood preaches. But given the amount of influence it enjoys, Bollywood’s ignorance about colorism and its obsession with fair skin is apalling to say the least.
    Thankfully, with more awareness around the issue of colourism, such stereotypes have become fewer, but here's a list of movies which show how the issue of colourism has existed since ages in Bollywood.
    1. Mother India (1957)  © Mehboob Productions
    It's sad how being fair is naturally associated with righteousness and being dark-skinned is associated with everything unfair and illegal. Mother India is Bollywood’s first Oscar-nominated film and we wonder how the filmmakers were so ignorant. The light-skinned son does all the right things whereas the dark-skinned son does everything that disappoints his mother. 

    2. Meri Surat Teri Aankhen (1963)  © GeePee Films
    In this movie, a father gives up his child for adoption because he finds his dark-skinned son ugly. Ashok Kumar plays the role of the grown-up son who is shunned by society for his colour.

    3. Fashion (2008)  © UTV Motion Pictures
    In the 2008 movie Fashion, Priyanka Chopra plays an aspiring model who falls off the right path to stardom and doesn't realize it until one fine morning, she wakes up next to a dark-skinned person. It was unfortunate to see a person of colour being used as a metaphor to imply drug abouse and the likes.

    4. Kambakkht Ishq (2009)  © Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment
    In Kambakkht Ishq (2009), the makers made Akshay Kumar wear a terrible wig and coated his face with black color for a comedy scene. Just goes on to affirm how lazy Bollywood script writing has time and again relied on racial stereotypes for cheap, distasteful scenes.

    5. Khaali Peeli (2020) 
    It's 2020 but Bollywood continues to be ignorant about the stereotypes of colourism with the lyrics of a song in the upcoming movie Khaali Peeli sparking outrage on social media over colourism. It received massive backlash as it was termed racist. It came under the scanner for its hook line - 'Ho tujhe dekh ke goriya, Beyonce sharma jayegi.' 
    Be it 1950 or 2020, Bollywood still does not seem to be taking the issue of colourism seriously and continues to promote such stereotypes.
