Sorry there has been no real posts about movies and such, but it has been crazy! I have been reading a neat little book (from my favorite bookseller in India!)--Bollywood by Ashok Banker. Banker is columnist in India--I do think I have read his reviews on various sites-and he talks about 50 films that he feels are very influential in Hindi film. Geez, this book makes me realize that I have lots more films to see--especially films from the 40's and 50's!! That will be my quest--I guess I should compare his lists to Rachel Dwyer's top 100 films, I suspect many are on both lists! Chalo for now!
About Me
- bollywoodenabler
- I am a historian/historical reinactor. I used to work in a a living history museum--but now teach about all sorts of history. I have been entranced by India since I was a child--I had a penpal in Delhi for many years--until she got married!! I got introduced to Hindi film by my goddaughter, and was hooked. I wanted to know all that I could about Hindi cinema, so I began to read, collect books, and DVDs on Hindi cinema. I plan on putting together an introductory class on Hindi films--in the meantime, I just hook folks on Bollywood with music and movies!
