Summary: This book combines multiple theoretical approaches to provide a fresh perspective on Bollywood and challenges the homogenizing tendencies in much of the ongoing scholarship in the field. It covers five areas of controversial theorisation: the religious frame, the musical frame, the subaltern frame, the (hetero)sexual frame and the crossover frame. By deconstructing each of these hegemonic paradigms, it reshapes the understanding of a Bollywood film and restructures its relationships with multiple disciplines including film and theatre studies, post colonial studies, South Asian studies, queer studies, and transnational studies.
