Why are people fascinated with Bollywood? What is the cultural significance of the films produced there? In recent years Bollywood - the popular Hindi cinema from Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India - has received widespread international attention in the global media.

The book:
· provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical engagement with Bollywood cinema and its audiences;
· examines the role and representations of cultural icons in Bollywood films;
· pinpoints the key trends in the Bollywood film industry as it develops in the age of globalization;
