These scenes illustrate the saturation of American popular media in Sri Lanka, a country with no direct Hollywood production base but with one of South Asia’s highest rates of smartphone penetration and YouTube usage among youth (LIRNEasia, 2024). For adolescent girls, who face uniquely intensified pressures regarding modesty, academic achievement, and future marriageability, American entertainment is not merely escapism.

These scenes illustrate the saturation of American popular
