Reviews

Rocking 2017's glitziest cover, this celebration of Hindi cinema is a romp through, as the sub-title hollers, 'The films! The songs! The stars!' Has a foreword by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan * Total Film * As actor Amitabh Bachan points out in his foreword, 'Hindi cinema... is the largest film-producing unit in the world,' but its one whose history has been extremely poorly documented. DK's gorgeous tome sets out to rectify that, guiding you through a history of Hindi cinema from 1913 to the present day, highlighting key players and movies along the way. * Home Cinema Choice *
