Book excerpt: Bachchanalia: The Films & Memorabilia of Amitabh Bachchan by noted film writer Bhawana Somaaya and Osian's CARD (Centre for Archiving, Research and Development) is the inaugural publication of the Osian's Publishing and Design House. The book, a collector's item, for the first time ever, pays the most comprehensive visual homage to Amitabh Bachchan by representing his aura through all of the 150 odd films he has acted in, during the last forty years. The book is dedicated to the films, publicity material and memorabilia of arguably one of the greatest personalities of Indian and world cinemas. The carnival of explosive colors and dynamic designing that runs through the pages of the book brings to the reader some of the most nostalgic and iconic moments in the annals of Indian popular art and culture as well as conveys the many flavors of the Bachchan legend. In his four-decade long career Bachchan has been a witness to all the turning points in show business both on and off screen and his growing stature from an actor to a superstar is evident from his altering body language reflected in film posters over the decades. In addition to the sumptuous illustrations that make the book the first of its kind about Mr. Bachchan's life and career there is a chronological filmography embedded in the images accompanied by a brief synopses of the films. There is a brief analytical introductory section on all the role types Mr. Bachchan has played in his career to give the reader an idea of the spectrum of social roles he has successfully conveyed on the screen. Also there is a running commentary through the text consisting of snippets about significant events or incidents during the shooting of the films pertaining to the film itself or to a moment in Mr. Bachchan's life. A glance into the trials and tribulations, his relationship with his colleagues and their perception of him and his role in the history of Indian cinema make this book an inspiring, illuminating page-turner, while the images of film posters, lobbycards, showcards, gramophone record covers and song synopsis booklets from the Osian's Archive Collection make it a visual delight.

Book excerpt: What can Amitabh Bachchan's life teach us in our pursuit of excellence? Everything. Amitabh Bachchan is not just a brilliant actor or the 'Superstar of the Millennium'. He is an institution in himself-not just for acting but everything that makes a person successful in his life. Most of his virtues-like professionalism, determination, a never-say-die attitude-are traits which one can follow to achieve the 'Excellence' everyone aspires for. Four National Film Awards, 15 Filmfare Awards and 41 nominations hold testimony to his excellence. How does he sail through different phases of life-the good, the bad and the ugly, which in his case are the best, the worst and the horrid-unruffled? How did he manage an unpredictable film career along with a failed business venture and then rose like a phoenix, never to look back again? All this requires unwavering determination, willpower, patience and a disposition to take it all in one's stride. In this book, educationist and inspirational guru Virender Kapoor analyses each and every trait of Bachchan that is immensely inspiring. Excellence: The Amitabh Bachchan Way not only reveals Big B's professional 'secrets', it also teaches one how to make the best of what we have!

Book excerpt: A remarkable insight into the films and times of India's greatest star-actor In an industry where fashions change every Friday, Amitabh Bachchan has been synonymous with cinematic entertainment for over thirty years. But beyond the labels of 'one-man industry' and 'star of the millennium', a number of issues pertaining to the star, his films and his era remain largely unaddressed. What is it that makes Amitabh Bachchan the star he is? Is it his undeniable genius as an actor, his ability to connect with the masses and the classes alike, or is it his writers and directors who project him in varied roles? Did his films in his heyday reflect the angst of his time, or did they ferment the spirit of anger and rebellion in the first place? Was he really the rebel as his 'angry young man' image suggests, or was there, behind all the sound and fury, a conformist subtext that called for restoration of the status quo? How relevant is Amitabh Bachchan today? In Amitabh: The Making of a Superstar, Susmita Dasgupta answers these and other questions that lie buried in the trail of glory the star blazed. In a warm and insightful analysis, the author traces the world-view and philosophy that have shaped the films of Amitabh Bachchan-from the angry young man of Zanjeer, the tragic antihero of Deewar and the entertainer of Amar Akbar Anthony to his more conservative turns in Mahabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. In the process, she not only chronicles the star's journey from a flop actor to a national icon but also brings to life a period in the history of Indian cinema which altered forever the economics of film-making in the country.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Every success story has its price to pay. So did Shatrughan Sinha (SS) who achieved the impossible twice over. The youngest and the most pampered in a family of academics and doctors where four sons were named after the four brothers of the Ramayan, SS stood out defiantly different. He was born for applause and the limelight; he was besotted with Raj Kapoor and cinema. In the face of stiff opposition from disciplinarian father Bhuvaneshwar Prasad Sinha, mother Shyama Devi’s chhutka bauwa (little darling) set out for the Film Institute of India (now FTII) in Poona. Bombay was the next logical destination. Without Kapoorian good looks or any connection with the Hindi film industry, the unknown scarface from Patna went on to create history on celluloid. In politics too, with no known surname or family to power his entry, he set a record as the first film star from India to be sworn-in as a Cabinet Minister.

Book excerpt: What makes Piyush Pandey an extraordinary advertising man, friend, partner and leader of men? How does he manage to exude childlike enthusiasm, and bring such deep commitment to his work? You’ve seen most of the things that Piyush Pandey has seen in his life. You’ve seen cobblers, carpenters, cricketers, trains, villages, towns and cities. What makes Piyush different is the perspective from which he views the same things you’ve seen, his ability to store all that he sees into some recesses of his brain and then retrieve them at short notice when he needs to. That ability combined with his love, passion and understanding of advertising and of consumers make him the master storyteller that he is. In Pandeymonium, Piyush talks about his influences, right from his childhood in Jaipur and being a Ranji cricketer, to his philosophy, failures and lessons in advertising in particular and life in general. Lucid, inspiring and unputdownable, this memoir gives you an inside peek into the mind and creative genius of the man who defines advertising in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: _______________ 'An assortment of autobiography, travelogue, social commentary and interviews ... held together beautifully by her bristling wit, charm and intelligence' - Daily Telegraph 'Funny, irreverent and affectionate ... a fascinating look at the Bombay film industry and the story of a very unlikely friendship' - Asian Leader 'Her quirky observations on Mumbai and its social strata are brilliantly cutting and her use of "Hinglish" is genuinely funny' - Metro _______________ In search of a one-man industry, a phenomenon, an urban demi-god and a national icon 'Jessica,' he pronounced, 'you have known me for seven years. My life has changed seven times. You will never finish this book.' There is no reason why Amitabh Bachchan and I should appear in the same sentence. He is India's most legendary film star - a mixture of Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino and Elvis. In India where film stars are treated as gods, Bachchan is the über-god, the Big B. As for me, I am English, almost thirty, and not in the least bit famous. Yet here I am in Bombay about to start writing his story. How did I get here? Why did I get here? Can I pull it off? Bombay is mayhem and Bollywood is maddening. The Big B is strangely aloof, the magazines are full of lies, and no one is talking. I want to write a book that explodes the myths surrounding India's most famous man. But what will I find?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anhonee ko honee karna hamara kaam hai.' (It is our job to make the impossible possible.) The sentence leading into the title song of the blockbuster film Amar Akbar Anthony sums up the magic of Manmohan Desai, the master entertainer whose desire to please his public made his name synonymous with success during much of his career in popular Hindi cinema from 1960 to 1988. In Enchantment of the Mind: Manmohan Desai's Films, Connie Haham delves into the director's work and analyses some of his cinematic signatures - speed, fun, adventure and delight, alongside a devotion to motherhood and a stance in favour of inter-religious harmony. His cinema is fondly remembered for its many catchy tunes and the characters brought to life by leading stars, from Raj Kapoor to Amitabh Bachchan. Lending extra magic to this book is Manmohan Desai's own account of a life dedicated to cinema - a medium he wielded artfully to depict both struggle and an affirmation of life.
