This book provides a sustained engagement with contemporary Indian
feature films from outside the mainstream, including Aaranaya
Kaandam, I.D., Kaul, Chauthi Koot, Cosmic Sex, and Gaali Beeja, to
undercut the dominance of Bollywood focused film studies. Gopalan
assembles films from Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and
Trivandrum, in addition to independent productions in Bombay
cinema, as a way of privileging understudied works that deserve
critical attention. The book uses close readings of films and a
deep investigation of film style to draw attention to the advent of
digital technologies while remaining fully cognizant of 'the
digital' as a cryptic formulation for considering the sea change in
the global circulation of film and finance. This dual focus on both
the techno-material conditions of Indian cinema and the film
narrative offers a fulsome picture of changing narratives and
shifting genres and styles.
