100 Bollywood Films
(Rachel Dwyer)

Publicidade
Rachel Dwyer?s ?100 Bollywood Films?, is a compilation of films which fall within the ambit of her very own subjective interpretation of Bollywood cinema. The introduction prefacing the collection details her chosen criteria of selection ? the films should be in Hindi, should be produced and released in India and should be significant to the history of Indian cinema. She claims to have selected films which have noticeable features like use of melodrama, grandiloquent dialogues etc. These parameters make for a somewhat skewed selection which includes a film like Ankhen but excludes films like Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gum and Baghbaan which were box-office hits or films like Darr and Company which ushered in the anti-hero or Black which redefined the mores of modern cinema. Also absence of films belonging to the parallel cinema genre leaves a gaping hole in this compilation. A movie lover cannot overlook the poignant beauty of Saaransh, Sparsh or Mr & Mrs Iyer. It is this sense of the incomplete that mars the book. Interest wanes when the reader sees Bollywood in a straitjacket. Dwyer in her quest for academic credence forgets that the ?goodness? of a film is defined by its emotional response and not some theoretical parameters. Although, at the objective level we can appreciate the attention to detail in her well-researched film abstracts, at the emotional level we cannot but decry Dwyer?s selection.
