Bollywood Unplugged by Derek Bose
Bollywood cinema is unique. Its extravagant celebrations of
glamour, pomp and spectacle, persistent devotion of mythology,
an almost slavish reliance on songs and dances, convenient
coincidences, larger-than-life characters and happy ending
scarcely find a parallel anywhere in the world. The book
provides an insight into the deconstruction of truth, from the
most basic levels of shot-taking and sound recording to the
complexities of special effects, characterisation, dramatic
construction and image building. Very simply, its purpose is to
take stock of the devices and means film makers employ in
manipulating the minds of the masses.
Snapshots from Bollywood — all in black and white —
give the book a classic touch. - India Today
The coffee-tabler provides a rare insight into different aspects of
form and content which are peculiar to Bollywood cinema. - The
Tribune
The book is meant for anybody with even a fleeting interest in
Bollywood. - A must for film buffs. - Savvy
