Talkies : Cinema Ka Safar1 (Hindi Edition)

This book is a delightful journey, revealing the world beyond the screen. That world is the world of cinema, a magical world where authors and film critics Ajay Brahmatmaj and Mayank Shekhar take us along, conversing with film luminaries and master directors of their genres. Conversations that begin in the streets of our homes reveal the twists and turns of the film industry, its ups and downs. This book weaves the techniques, nuances, and challenges of filmmaking into captivating stories, revealing to readers how a film idea is conceived, how it transforms into a story, then into a script, and finally, the films completion. This book is also significant because it beautifully depicts the challenges of filmmaking today and the ability to properly absorb the immense exposure of the film world. In fact, the Jagran Film Festival, which made this conversation possible, is Indias largest festival geographically, held in 16 cities across the country. Here, cinema, documentaries, and ad films from India and abroad are presented live to the audience. This book teaches not only the art of watching and evaluating cinema, but also the art of living it.
