Description
Neta Abhineta: Bollywood star power in Indian politics (Hachette, Rs 599) by Rasheed Kidwai is an engaging read. Kidwai explores the relationship between India’s larger-than-life film industry and its equally fascinating world of politics. He also reveals the journeys of actors, from Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand to Govinda and Hema Malini, in politics. The book comprises anecdotes compiled from an extensive range of interviews and studies, along with examinations under the author’s own discerning, journalistic lens. Although the events date back to the early 1900s, the book does not fall short of context. Even the support extended by actors to Narendra Modi’s recent appeal for cleanliness for Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary finds mention. The conversational language, with a brisk narration, keeps the reader hooked.
