Megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently launched film
critic-author Bhawana Somaaya’s book ‘Once Upon A Time In India – A Century of
Indian Cinema’ at The Club (Mumbai) on 17th January, 2017.
About the book:
If you are a Hindi-movie buff, karva chauth immediately
brings to mind DDLJ, and Easter probably reminds you of Anthony Gonsalves. Take
a trip down the memory lane with this beautifully conceived celebration of
Indian cinema, which contains its century-long history in a fun capsule, and
includes fascinating facts and milestones.
‘Once Upon a Time in India’ will be your constant
companion through the weeks of the coming year, with its attractive diary pages
featuring iconic dialogues and fun trivia.
Like the timelessness of Indian cinema, the fifty-three
full-page original illustrations in Bollywood poster art style—depicting some
of the most memorable scenes from your favourite films— make this a volume to
treasure even when the year is over.
