"Although the motion picture industry in India is one of the oldest and largest in the worldwith literally thousands of productions released each yearfilms from that country have not been as well received as those from other countries. Known for their impressive musical numbers, melodramatic plots, and nationally beloved stars, Indian films have long been ignored by the West but are now at the forefront of cinema studies.

In addition to these notable productions, this book also examines key film directors and the work of major film stars in the industry.
