  1. Abhishek Ranjan –

    A fun read! Ghosh captures the s Bollywood vibe perfectly. Though sometimes it felt a bit too academic for my taste.

  2. Anshika Agarwal –

    Ghosh’s writing is sharp and witty! It dragged in places, but definitely worth your time!

  3. Anurupa Das Sarma –

    Ghosh offers a unique perspective on the era. I learned a lot, but found it lacking in emotional depth.

  4. Swapnil Harishbhai Patel –

    Interesting concept, but the writing style wasn’t always engaging. Still, a worthwhile read for Bollywood enthusiasts.

  5. Subhajoy Datta –

    A well-researched and insightful book. Occasionally, it relies too heavily on academic jargon.

  6. Vaibhav Kumar –

    The book felt comprehensive but somewhat dry at times. Great for film students, maybe not casual readers.

  7. Jaskiran Kaur Dhanoa –

    I enjoyed the comparisons between ‘Ardh Satya’ and ‘Himmatwala’. A few sections felt disconnected though.

  8. Anish Kumar –

    Offers a fresh perspective on classic films. Wish it had more personal anecdotes, but overall, a very good book.

  9. Akshat Chourasia –

    A must-read for Bollywood fans! The book needed better editing. Great content, though!

  10. Kshitij Vilas Chaudhari –

    An engaging exploration of parallel and mainstream cinema. The author’s passion shines through. Some parts were slow.

  11. Satyam Chaudhary –

    I appreciated the in-depth analysis. It felt a little preachy at times. Still, a valuable contribution to film studies.

  12. Digvijay Singh Rana –

    Fantastic analysis of the socio-political context. It could be better organized. Still a great read.

  13. Sanidhya Kumar –

    A nostalgic trip back to the s. The book sometimes gets bogged down in details, but it is an important work.

  14. Mehak Bareja –

    Loved the insights into Om Puri and Sridevi! The book is informative but occasionally repetitive. Overall, a good book.

  15. Shubham Pandey –

    Provides a great understanding of s cinema. Wish there was more focus on Sridevi. Good effort!
