However, her first feature film Bhaji on the Beach (1993) is one of the finest exam­ples of British diasporic films. Released in the sensi­tive post-Thatcheric era, it investigates the complex issues of gender relations, racism, domestic violence, and hybridity in the diasporic environment. The film director also emphasizes different ideological for­mations which are produced in, and disseminated through popular discourses. Therefore this article ex plores the ways identity is constructed through vari­ous ideological and nationalistic discourses embed­ded in the popular culture, particularly in Bollywood and imperial British cinema and heritage films. Such popular discourses are seen as major ideological forces used to establish monolithic and fixed identity, creating disruptions and crises when it clashes with contemporary hybrid British culture.http://www.literatura.flf.vu.lt/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/58-691.pdf
