Description

""A rigorous and monumental historical study of Bombay-produced Hindi cinema, which addresses the paradoxes of Bollywood's histories in highly engaging as well as truly enlightening ways. This is an essential study of Indian popular cinema and its indomitability.""--Catherine Grant, coauthor of The Videographic Essay: Criticism in Sound and Image ""The longue durée of Bollywood is the subject of Unruly Cinema. A lively and textured account of the contradictory development of mainstream Hindi cinema as an industrial product, on the one hand, and an art form, on the other, this book is a must read for students of South Asian film, the culture industry, and discourses of globalization.""--Keya Ganguly, author of Cinema, Emergence, and the Films of Satyajit Ray
