The Evolution of Song and Dance
in Hindi Cinema

Exploring the evolution of song and dance in the popular Hindi film, this book examines how these quintessential elements have been and continue to be theorized.

As song picturizations, as they are frequently called, have evolved, shifting from little more than impromptu moves around tree trunks to highly choreographed affairs featuring scores of professional dancers and exotic backgrounds, their theorization has also developed beyond the initial, peremptory dismissals of earlier critics. Featuring a landmark collection of essays from leading theorists, as well as newer contributions from up-and-coming scholars, this book develops new and exciting ways of thinking about song and dance in Hindi cinema and, in turn, explores how these elements work to (re)define popular Hindi cinema in the twenty-first century.

This collection will be of interest to students and scholars of Hindi cinema, musicals, and global popular cultures. It was originally published as a special issue of South Asian Popular Culture.

Ajay Gehlawat is the author of several studies of popular Hindi cinema, including Twenty-First Century Bollywood (Routledge, 2015). He is Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Theatre and Film at Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, USA.

Rajinder Dudrah has authored numerous studies of Indian cinema and is the editor of the South Asian Popular Culture journal. He is Professor of Cultural Studies and Creative Industries at Birmingham City University, UK.
