Event Description
Anthropologist and writer Tejaswini Ganti’s new book Producing Bollywood explains the Bombay-based Hindi film industry became "Bollywood," the global film phenomenon and potent symbol of India as a rising economic powerhouse. This rich and entertaining ethnography examines the dramatic transformations in the Hindi film industry's production culture, daily practices, and filmmaking ideologies since 1991, a time of tremendous social and economic change in India.
Astute observations and diligent research distinguish Ganti's work, providing an insider's view into what is essentially a closed world and, in the process, adding deep perspective on an industry that has undergone a remarkable transformation. (thenational.ae)
