Description

This Book Is Perhaphs, The First Modest Attempt By An Indian Film Critic Delve Into The Rather Delicate Subject Of Feminist Film Criticism Within The Framework Of Indian Popular Cinema. The Idea Was Rooted In A Consistent Thrashing Of Ideas And Concepts Attacking The Patriarchal Dominance In Hindi Popular Cinema Through Articles Written In Indian Publications And Papers Presented At Seminars On Cinema Over The Past Two Decades. It Is More Of An Emotional Response To The Portrayal Of Women In Indian Cinema Than A Cerebral And Clinical Analysis Conducted Along The British Schools Of Feminist Film Criticism Based On Psycho-Analysis, Semiology And Structuralism. This Is The Result Of Three Years Of Intensive Research, Through Films, Books And Documentation Consisting Of Archival Material On Indian Cinema.
