This is the first book to investigate how mental illness is
portrayed in Hindi cinema. It examines attitudes towards mental
illness in Indian culture, how they are reflected in Hindi films,
and how culture has influenced the portrayal of the psychoses.
Dinesh Bhugra guides the reader through the history of Indian
cinema, covering developments from the idealism of the 1950s to the
stalking, jealousy and psychopathy that characterises the films of
the 1990s. Critiques of individual films demonstrate the culture's
approach towards mental illness and reflect the impact of culture
on films and vice versa. Subjects covered include: cinema and
emotion; attitudes towards mental illness; socio-economic factors
and cinema in India; Indian personality, villany and history; and
psychoanalysis in the films of the 60s. Mad Tales from Bollywood
will be of interest to psychiatrists, mental health professionals,
students of media and cultural studies and those with an interest
in Indian culture.
