Gulzar's Aandhi

Viac o knihe

At one level, Gulzar s Aandhi (1975) is a story of estranged love between two headstrong and individualistic personalities; at another, it is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the political scenario of the country. Through a close textual analysis of the film, this book examines in detail its stellar cast, the language and dialogues, and the evergreen songs which had a major role in making the film a commercial success. Gulzar s own insights into the making of Aandhi (from an interview) will further enhance the readers understanding of the film. Saba Mahmood Bashir s book will delight those wanting to savour the duality and drama that befit life, or shall we say, cinema.
