About the book

Movies affect our growing-up years more than we’d like to admit, they say. Which means the average Bollywood fan is totally screwed. 42 Lessons I Learnt From Bollywood is a jolly look back at the glorious decade for Hindi cinema that was the nineties. Those were eventful years. The economy opened up. India changed. The Internet arrived. And Bollywood was like, ‘Wait for me, I can change too!’ 42 Lessons is the story of that transformation, even if it wasn’t always for the best. This is a treasury of the wisdom a young man garnered growing up on that unsteady fare.From Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Khalnayak, forty-two blockbusters – even some you may not have heard of – seen through the ever-attentive eyes of the Vigil Idiot.
