The Adventures of an Intrepid Film Critic
By Anna MM Vetticad
Om Books. Pages 234.  Rs 295.

The dream merchants of Bollywood entertain billions worldwide; influencing lifestyles, moulding mindsets, setting fashion trends and filling gossip columns. But even ardent movie buffs underestimate the sheer magnitude of this industry. So the author undertook the formidable task of viewing all the films released in Delhi during 2011. Among the 121 movie reviews she blogged there are many virtually unheard of productions some rightly so and others woefully unappreciated. Additionally her interviews with producers, directors and actors provide insight into motivations of those both established and aspiring.
