Like most Indians, Sunny Singh was born and brought up in a country of film fanatics. She and her friends waited impatiently for the latest releases, listened to the songs on radio and wore clothes inspired by those seen on screen. They learned about India and the world, determined their enemies and friends, and chose their moralities thanks to films.
A Bollywood State of Mind is a personal and historical journey which crosses five continents and tracks the last 50 years of modern Indian history and cinema, exploring why Bollywood means so much to so many across the globe. Sunny describes how this exceptional cinema retains its hold on the national imagination, how Bollywood has enhanced India's global standing in the 21st century and how its characteristics endure despite the social and political changes of recent years.
From excited and joyous gatherings around the family VHS player as a child in India, to exchanges with strangers in the marketplaces of Dakar and Marrakesh and the nightclubs of New York, the pioneers and heroes of Bollywood have cut across national, linguistic and cultural lines not only in India but around the world.
A Bollywood State of Mind is Sunny Singh's love letter to India, cinema and to family and friends.
