These and other hitherto unfamiliar stories of directors belonging to the \"100 crore club\" like Rohit Shetty and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra; the adventurous Kabir Khan; and the maverick, Mahesh Bhatt take us through the unusual lives of 15 filmmakers of extraordinary films.Sonia Golani achieves the incredible by sitting each director down to candidly discuss the hype around the Oscars; the exclusivity of the \"100 crore club\"; effect of corporatization and much more. Decoding Bollywood is more about demystifying the \"world of Bollywood\" than a mere decoding of 15 directors who have created benchmarks in their respective genres for generations to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 20, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42105455771783,"sku":"9789384030308","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/ec42c79ce1bb1501b0b2b339584a9b6a.webp?v=1732434376","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/decoding-bollywood-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
