Analysis of movie from structuralist method

 Structuralism is the offshoot of certain developments in Linguistics and anthropology. it takes for granted ' The Death of the author' hence it looks upon works as self-organised linguisticstructure. In literary theory structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative material by examining the underlying invariant structure.

              
              We find a particular structure in every work of art. and every structure is related with each other. we can find a same narrative pattern in every work. so, structuralism is not a method, it is also what Ernst Cassirer calls a ' general tendency of thought' or other would say an ideology. 


                I would like to analyze the Bollywood movie 'JANI DUSHMAN' 1979 horror fantasy thriller film produced and directed by 'Rajkumar kohil'. Sunil dutt,Sanjiv kumar, Shatrughan sinha,Vinod mehra, Reena roy, Rkha, Nitu singh in lead role and music composed by Laxmicant-pyarelal.


                      In this movie murder occurs (event A) then circumstances of the murder are revealed to a detective (event B), finally the murderer is caught (event C).

                     The murder of newly Bride occur. This event occur n time and be narrated n times. bride disappears from 'Doli' at temple and then found dead. this happens with five or six women. and finally when there is marriage of heroin the murderer caught by protagonist.and surprisingly the murderer is the 'Thakur' a respectable fellow of village.

                 But it was not Thakur who commit all this crime but another man 'monster' has committed all these murder through Thakur. who has been killed by his own wife on very first night of their wedding. so he wanted to take revenge and whenever he saw any lady in red wedding suit he killed her.
