Recenly came across a nice book published by SAGE Publications compiled by Ajay Gehlawat, "Reframing Bollywood: Theories of Popular Hindi Cinema" combines multiple theoretical approaches to provide a fresh perspective on Bollywood and challenges the homogenizing tendencies in much of the ongoing scholarship in the field.It covers five areas of controversial theorization: the religious frame, the musical frame, the subaltern frame, the (hetero)sexual frame and the ‘crossover’ frame. By deconstructing each of these hegemonic paradigms, this book reshapes the understanding of a Bollywood film and restructures its relationships with multiple disciplines including film and theatre studies, postcolonial studies,South Asian studies, queer studies, and transnational studies.
