Excellent film guide! I bought this way back when I had seen a total of three "Bollywood" movies. Over a hundred films later, I still enjoy flipping through this to get ideas for what to watch next. I find myself with this book in my hands at least once a month. Besides brief film summaries, there are fun facts and statistics, and every page has a photo.

Perfect for the Bollywood obsessed and the newbies! It has "filmy" tidbits, a film timeline, is categorized by film type and release date and Has sections which list the flops, hits, and top hero's and heroines of each film decade.

Really good resource, especially if you're interested in learning more about the older classics. Intro by Amitabh.
