Lights Camera WAR! looks at 50 Indian war films from 1950 to 2020 across various Indian languages and examines their balance between entertainment and history. It looks at factors such as the real history behind the plots; the equipment and uniforms depicted; the use of music in the context and setting or, as often in Indian films, as a narrative device in the nautanki tradition, or for temporary relief; and the use of “filmy” coincidences, and other plot devices. The author’s sometimes surprising view is that some Indian war films classified as “flops” deserved more respect, at least in that they have been authentic in the depiction of history while some “hits” leave much to be desired. There are also comparisons with Hollywood and the West, where war films form a distinct genre. Some Indian war films, including major hits, are clearly “inspired” by such Hollywood films, and what they lose (or gain) in transplanting to the Indian screen is also discussed. The book also includes small historical capsules for comparison with the on-screen action, to illustrate how far the Indian war film accurately presents the history, serves as ‘masala’ entertainment, or manages a balance between them.

A Bollywood actor who leads a seemingly glamorous life on the surface, but behind the lights, camera, and action is a woman struggling with issues that are eroding her very belief in existence. What happens next is a stuff that can make for a great movie: She stumbles upon the path to self-discovery that transforms not just who she is but her entire life. But this is not what this book that you hold is about. Its about the journey of the very same actors spiritual exploration that has lasted nearly three decades and what she has learned and experienced. (This is exactly where most people will put it right down.) Yet it is not a boring biography. Nor is it a spiritual rambling of a celebrity on a high. Theres no discourse on curbing your materialistic pursuits or calls for giving up worldly pleasures. Its simply an invitation to consider another way of looking at life and at yourself. If you will, you can call it a practical manual to upgrade your worldview so that you function better than beforein this world, right here, right nownot in some alternate reality or next life. The best part is you can sample it all while still holding on to your car, your job, your faith, your favourite food, and all the other lovely things in life. What will change, though, is your view about spirituality. More importantly, about the one that really matters in life: you! Happy journey.
