Produced under the editorial guidance of Gulzar, Govind Nihalani and Saibal Chatterjee, Encyclopaedia Britannica's Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema offers a detailed and analytical perspective of the dynamics of the Hindi film industry-- from its first unsteady steps of infancy, to becoming a leader in the world of celluloid. It comprises thirty-four essays written by an array of experts, twenty-one interviews with legendry personalities, two hundred biographies, and over five hundred photographs.
The excitement of cinema is the pulse of the Indian nation. There is nothing quite like it in the world. Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema looks as much at the trends and techniques of filmmaking in Mumbai as at the personalities who shaped the industry into what it is today.
This Encyclopaedia seeks to capture the big picture in a manner that is both informative and entertaining. The book brings together an array of experts, who either have first-hand knowledge of the craft of filmmaking or have observed the industry from close quarters for decades. With that end in mind, this encyclopaedia focuses as much on the stars and directors as it does on films and movements. The book is rounded off with a comprehensive section that throws light on the work of towering individuals whose contributions to Hindi cinema in their respective areas of specialization have been second to none.
