Bollywood is India's most popular entertainment and one of its most powerful social forces. Its films contest ideas about state formation, capture the nation's dispersed anxieties, and fabricate public fantasies of what constitutes 'India'. Written by an award-winning scholar of popular culture and postcolonial modernity, this work analyses the role of Bollywood's most popular blockbusters in making, unmaking, and remaking modern India.
