An innovative visual history of Indian cinema's history, actors, directors, influences and graphic style

In India, the power of an icon or a holy person is often conveyed by way of sight: one must behold the entity in question. This particular import of sight has undoubtedly contributed to cinema's elevated position within Indian culture; the release of a film and the hero-worship of actors in India arouses great fervor. Bollywood Superstars traces the development of Indian cinema from its precedents in the late 19th century to its establishment as a massive industry a century later. Several chapters are dedicated to key figures within this remarkable history, including cinematographer Ravi Varma, producer Dadasaheb Phalke, director Satyajit Ray and the actor Rajinikanth.
