More of a review on some Hindi filmsBy Deacute;sireacute;eIf youre looking for gossip; I dont think youll find it in this book; despite its title and the cover picture. The Gods; I assume; are the male stars themselves; while the glamour is of being a movie star. The book is a review of 124 films; listed at the back of the book. It discusses the period of the story; the romantic themes; its Indian-mess and culture; and shows how music has changed by the implementation of other instruments; with discussions on the dream and dance sequences. The films reviews are quite interesting and may give you the inclination to watch any of these films; you may not have seen before.
