`Dudrah... successfully renews an interdisciplinary dialogue between cinema and sociology... Dudrahs book is a great reference for multi-disciplinary research... the book gives academic credence to Bollywood cinema - The Tribune `A new book which gives an extraordinary insight into Bollywood - Asian Voice `This book asks and answers some interesting questions about what exactly Bollywood is - New India Express Why are people fascinated with Bollywood? What is the cultural significance of the films produced there? In recent years Bollywood - the popular Hindi cinema from Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India - has received widespread international attention in the global media. The book examines the reasons for this interest and provides an unrivalled guide to the phenomenon. The book: � provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical engagement with Bollywood cinema and its audiences; � examines the role and representations of cultural icons in Bollywood films; � pinpoints the key trends in the Bollywood film industry as it develops in the age of globalization; � subjects Bollywood to the first systematic sociological, cultural and media analysis. Packed with memorable examples and penetrating insights, this is a marvellous work which combines sociology with media and cultural analysis to provide a highly original account of the Bollywood phenomenon.
