Description

Explore the cinematic world of one of India's most significant filmmakers with this study from Routledge. Shyam Benegal's India: Alternative Images examines how Benegal's films present different perspectives of the nation. The text traces the evolution of his cinematic style and aesthetics, specifically looking at how his work changed during the post-liberalisation era. This book looks at the struggles India faces as a nation-state in post-colonial times through the lens of film. By analyzing complex narratives in works such as Manthan, Junoon, Kalyug, Charandas Chor, Sooraj Ka Satvaan Ghoda, Zubeidaa, and Well Done Abba, the author explores how stories are built. These films use characters and plots adapted from mythology, folk-tales, historical fiction, and novels to create a unique vision of Indian life.
