GOLDEN AGE OF INDIAN CINEMA

From its roots in ancient Sanskrit theatre in the Vedic Age dating back to 3,000 B.C, Indian Cinema is steeped in its cultural traditions. With the advent of modern digital & satellite technology, the Indian Film Industry has become the largest and most influential in the world, uniting a global audience of domestic & foreign viewers numbering over a billion. Yet it finds itself in disarray and creative gridlock paralyzed by its own internal contradictions in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. "The Golden Age of Indian Cinema" by acclaimed Author-Filmmaker C.S.Nag is a probing analysis of the decadence and degradation that has sullied the Dream Factory's glitter and offers a new vision for an "Indian Renaissance"!
