Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the journey of popular Hindi cinema from 1913 to contemporary times when Bollywood has evolved as a part of India's cultural diplomacy. The essays critically consider transformations of the Hindi film industry, issues of gender, dance and choreography, Bombay cinema's negotiations with cityscape and urbanisms, and concentrate on its multifarious regional, national and transnational implications in the 21st century.
