Image: book cover

The Indian film industry is the largest in the world with over 800 films being produced each year. And who better to provide a comprehensive overview of the industry than Indian cinema expert and BFI Governor Nasreen Munni Kabir.

Kabir, who introduced British audiences to the world of Hindi cinema by programming Bollywood films on Channel 4 and educated them with documentary series like Movie Mahal, displays the breadth of her knowledge in this book. Using her extensive contacts in Bombay to great effect, Kabir profiles the best-known actors, directors and musicians in the industry. The book also includes previously unpublished interviews with film personalities. Generously illustrated with film stills, this book is an invaluable primer to the magic that is Bollywood.
