Mad Mad World of Indian Films is a book that lets you into the 'prohibited' areas of film industry. Stripped of their make-belief glamour and mask of make-up, the stars and starlets are a little different from normal working men and women. Portraits of some of the all-time greats - Meena Kumari, Nargis, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Shantaram, Amitabh Bachchan and others - are therefore sharp, down-to-earth and revealing. So is the author's encounter with censors. Published in 1977 by Hind Pocket Books.
