Indian Literature and Popular Cinema: Recasting Classics - Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Heidi R M Pauwels
This book considers the popular cinema of North India (Bollywood) and how it recasts literary classics. It addresses the socio-political implications of popular reinterpretations of elite culture, exploring gender issues and the perceived sexism of popular films and how that plays out when literature is reworked into film.
