This book reflects Bombay's huge Hindi-language film industry that is more than just a giant entertainment for 1 billion-plus Indians worldwide. It's a part of Indian culture, language, fashion and lifestyles. It's also a parcel of contradictions and contrasts, like India itself. Thrillers, horror, murder mysteries, courtroom dramas, Hong Kong-style action gunfests, romantic comedies, soap operas, mythological costume dramas... they're all mixed into the musical boy-meets-girl formula of Bollywood. The results are a bizarre, overblown mixture of high concept, ethnic colour, traditional values, high-pitched emotional drama, sizzling sensuality and music, always music. In this book, as well as an introductory essay, are a selection of 25 major seminal films that are examined in entertaining, intimate detail. There's also a section on, the star system, film music and a list of additional books and films that will help you enjoy and make sense of the latest Hindi movie showing at your nearest cinema.
