Indian Cinema: Ebbs and Tides

Indian Cinema : Ebbs and Tides is a detailed chronicle of the developments that have cast their shadows on the Indian film industry. In the last 15 years, the reel world has undergone drastic changes with infusion of technology and invasion of extra-terrestrial forms of entertainment posing serious threats to the very existence of the movie world. Equally true is the fact that in this very era there have been luminaries who have reached the pinnacle of glory effortlessly in virtually every field of cinema making–production, direction, cinematography, music, technological superiority, choreography, etc. This book compares and contrasts the effects of all of the above and many more in ten, easy-to-read chapters. Virtually every major development has been highlighted in this compilation with a style that is fluid and a content that is at once informative and data-based. A special point to note would be the rise of the southern movie industry which has now occupied centre-stage in the Indian film scenario. This hitherto, under-reported industry, across the Vindhyas, is effectively highlighted all through the book.
