5.0 out of 5 stars
Gorgeously illustrated Oxford UP edition
Readable academic study of visual aspects of Indian cinema, with a terrific chapter on Bollywood movie posters, gorgeously illustrated on almost every page. Get the Oxford UP India edition. Informative, well researched and documented, and stunning to look at.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Avoid! A "visual" book with four pages of color pictures!
An extreme disappointment. While the subject deserves attention, this book contains only a few black and white photographs, and minimal color photos, the latter from only three to four movies! Written in sophmoric, academic tones, page after page of un-interesting text failed to give any insight whatsoever into an art form that populates more movie marquees than any other...
