Books by Ashish Rajadhyaksha and Paul Willemen
Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema (Revised Second Edition)
by Ashish Rajadhyaksha and Paul Willemen
This is a labour of love. Both authors are substantial film scholars in their own right. It’s remarkably accurate and it’s an indispensable tool for scholars working in Indian film. There are also some interesting interpretive essays and it’s organised into films and people. Rajadhyaksha was one of the first people to take the ideas of Michel Foucault into the history of Indian film.
