Format:Paperback
I havn't got very far with this book as the print is so small it gave me a headache. appart from that is seems very informative so far and has given some insights into the industry, its hypocrisy and the writers experience of short photo shoots with amitabh bachan and madhuri dixit. it has many quotes about the industry but is often too verbose for my liking. i think the book could be half the size if they would just get to the point. in some quotes or comments by the writer i read it twice and realised that they hadn't actually said anything! very long-winded. but i'm sure it's worth it once you finally gegt some information. i'm not currently motivated to continue with this book as it is hard work but i'm sure when i get through all the swings and round-abouts i will learn something. i hope. i do wonder if this style is to illustrate the writers frustration with the industry as he is constantly denied interviews and kept waiting for hours upon hours in the lobbies of stars who have no intention of showing up or possibly not even any knowledge of the promised interview.

This is not only a fascinating insight into how the Indian film industry developed, but it is also an insight into how India emerged and developed to become an independent country. Thoroughly recommend it.

This book both informs and entertains about the fascinating details from the history of Bollywood - such as the story of Fearless Nadia, who spoke no Hindi, but learnt to read the lines in roman script and sound just like the other actresses.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and informative book.

A brilliant story, poorly told
This was a frustrating book to read. The author has written the only history of Bollywood available (so far), so he has something of a captive audience. Read more
