	Pakeezah - An Ode To A Bygone World by Meghnad Desai
	Price : Rs 250.00
	Your Price : Rs 195.00

An entertaining look at one of the landmarks of Hindi cinema

Meghnad Desai tracks the film`s tortuous journey and reveals fascinating, little-known aspects of it. He foregrounds the craftsmanship, perseverance and perfectionism of its maker, Kamal Amrohi, who would wait weeks for the perfect sunset. Desai sees the film as a ˜Muslim social` set in a ˜Lucknow of the Muslim imagination`; as a woman-centric film with a dancing heroine at a time when they were a rarity; and above all, as a film that harkes back to an era of ˜nawabi culture with its exquisite tehzeeb`, a world that is lost forever. Pakeezah: An Ode to a Bygone World is a fitting tribute to a film that Meghnad Desai calls ˜a monument to the golden age of Hindustani films` ISBN 9789350293690
