Exploring the evolution of song and dance in the popular Hindi
film, this book examines how these quintessential elements have
been and continue to be theorized. As song 'picturizations', as
they are frequently called, have evolved, shifting from little more
than impromptu moves around tree trunks to highly choreographed
affairs featuring scores of professional dancers and exotic
backgrounds, their theorization has also developed beyond the
initial, peremptory dismissals of earlier critics. Featuring a
landmark collection of essays from leading theorists, as well as
newer contributions from up-and-coming scholars, this book develops
new and exciting ways of thinking about song and dance in Hindi
cinema and, in turn, explores how these elements work to (re)define
popular Hindi cinema in the twenty-first century. This collection
will be of interest to students and scholars of Hindi cinema,
musicals, and global popular cultures. It was originally published
as a special issue of South Asian Popular Culture.
