Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the widely held belief that India's mainstream cinema is pure entertainment and entirely fantasy-oriented. Instead, the author shows how conventional cinema voices the concerns of the people and is essentially political, in that it is a major cultural and ideological force that not only reflects reality, but constructs it.
