Making meaning in Indian cinema / edited by Ravi S. Vasudevan - India Oxford University Press 2002 - 317p.

This volume brings together some of India's most distinguished film theorists today. By examining the silent films of the 1930s right through to contemporary blockbusters, their essays explore - through formal and narrative analysis, archival resources and oral testimony - the political and ideological implications of popular cinema. Only a few such studies on Indian cinema are available. The contributors include well-known film theorists. The articles discuss in detail a range of critical Indian films.
