Abstract

Cosmopolitanism celebrates ‘universal community’ and ‘world citizenship’. It can be considered as something that conditions us to survive in a highly transitional world. Unlike globalisation, cosmopolitanism upholds an extended mentality towards societies that are transmuting themselves. Bollywood cinema has played a prominent part in transporting culture and ideas worldwide and thereby transforming the world boundaries as highly porous. This article is an in-depth analysis of how KANK has become a huge success in heralding and popularising cosmopolitanism in the sub-continent as well as in the diasporic communities.
