India is a big film country (with the highest annual output and the largest number of moviegoers). In recent years, Indian films have set off another wave of climaxes in our country. Ashish Rajadyaksa, who published "You Don't Belong: The Past and Future of Indian Films" in our country in the past few years, this new book "A Brief History of Indian Films" is mainly in chronological order. It outlines Indian films from the day of their birth to the style of Bollywood in a simple, simple, detailed and easy-to-understand writing style. In the process of global popularity, Ashish excerpted important events at each stage in the history of Indian film, introduced many outstanding filmmakers and excellent film works, and supplemented it with hot events in society such as economics, politics, culture, etc., Closely integrated all aspects of society with film, and showed us a wonderful and twists and turns picture of Indian film history. I believe it will also have some reference significance for the development of our country's film industry.

This book gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Indian cinema. Just like a friend of mine, he particularly likes Indian movies and can feel the charm of singing and dancing in them every time he watches them. Moreover, the book also mentioned the Indian government's cultural industry policy, which reminded me of our country's film industry, which we can also learn from and create our own "Bollywood". All in all, this is a very enlightening book, recommended to friends who like movies.
