This insightful analysisi of popular Bombay cinema presents a comprehensive discussion of its contemporary history, background, financing and social and political underpinnings. It maps the cultural landscape of this medium tracing the relationship between the state, cinema and society. It reviews the ways in which gender and sexuality are articulated in the organisation of images, and demonstrates how heterosexuality operates as a stabiliser within ths constellation. More generally, it looks at the emergence of heroes and anti-heroes, at the changing faces of masculinity, at femininity, and the regulation of desire, and at Bollywood’s construction of gender, sexuality, and the nation.
