Comment

Indian cinema is a fascinating story everyone wants to know about. A lot has been written about it but somehow nothing you read is sufficient because you are always missing that specific piece of the puzzle you want to put together. Published by Indian Express Group to what appears more for an inhouse circulation, the book is a glossy production with color pictures about what happened once upon a time on celluloid. Many mileston films and filmmakers, music directors and writers seem to be missing because it is not possible to include all films in a 322 page book. It is never easy to document history but writer Bhawana Somaaya and team make a sincere effort to put together a summary of 100 years of celluloid.
