Bollywood

Bollywood: The Films!  The Songs!  The Stars!
D.K. Publishing
5/5 stars

This fantastic book is over 300 pages of full-color photos, stills and reproductions of movie posters. It breaks down the history of Hindi Indian cinema into eras, and in these sections it expands on the important actors, directors, songs, and films of that era. For some of the films, it provides pages of information, including a time line of the plot. It also discusses the prevalent character types and themes of these various eras. This is not a book intended to be an introduction to Bollywood films, but rather an in depth guide for those deeply interested in the genre. It is an exceptional book that will take hours to peruse, and is entertaining and informative all the way through.
