Reading the Silhouette

India is a land of diverse cultures and languages. So is her cinema. There are various genres within the Indian cinema which demands a closer look. This book tries to focus on three such genres and reviews ten films falling under each of them. It hopes to act as a precursor for you to rake up materials on Indian films that venture out of the mainstream commercial films and yet reflect everything of this profound country.
