'Music in Contemporary Indian Film' provides a rich and detailed look into the unique dimensions of music in Indian film. Music is at the centre of Indian cinema, and India's film music industry has a far-reaching impact on popular, folk, and classical music across the subcontinent and the South Asian diaspora. In twelve essays written by an international array of scholars, this book explores the social, cultural, and musical aspects of the industry, including both the traditional center of 'Bollywood' and regional film-making.
