DESCRIPTION (back to top)

The largest film industry in the world after Hollywood is celebrated in this expanded and updated reference work. Covering the full range of Indian cinema the new edition includes vastly expanded coverage of mainstream productions from the 70s to the 90s, and additional material on the stars that have made their mark this decade. For the first time the work also includes a comprehensive index of names. There is no comparable guide to this generously illustrated volume that captures the incredible vitality and diversity of historical and contemporary Indian cinema.
