Event Description : Hachette India presents "Picture Abhi Baaki Hai" by Rachel Dwyer. 

Hindi film scholar Rachel Dwyer looks at Bollywood films since 1991, the year of India’s economic liberalization, and explains how the films have corresponded to – and in some cases, birthed – India’s changing dreams and hopes, fears and anxieties. From DDLJ to Dabangg and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Kahaani, the writer shows how escapism and entertainment function in Bollywood, revealing the ways in which Hindi films have imagined and portrayed modern India, and will continue to do so.
