MATINEE MAN : A JOURNEY THROUGH BOLLYWOOD (HB)

Easy read. Surprisingly, I liked the John Abraham chapter.What was irritating is the use of 'ji' after every name - every mention - every time - every para. Agreed, it is respect. But, in a book, it should be free flow.

An engrossing book with a very personal insight into the minds of some of the iconic legends of Indian Cinema. The author, a distinguished journalist of Indian film industry, gets the real facet of these silver screen stars and brings on print the humane side of them.A must read for all film buffs and cinema afficiandos

If you love your Bollywood heroes then this is a must read. Easy breezy, anecdotal and good fun!

The author, Roshmila, has drawn from her personal experiences and observations to give a super interpretation to the personalities of the Matinee Men. A rare in-depth read, giving life to these Men who have made cinema.

A good read.

The author narrated all the interviews in a fun and balance manner which makes us understand the perception of an actor's life.That how people perceive them according to their roles while in personal life they are distinct and have same life approaches like any normal person. I really enjoyed the narration and language is simple. It's a good book including so many candid moments about them which makes it a must read for Bollywood enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys movies.My ratings - 4.5 ⭐ / 5

The ISBN for this book - AS PRINTED ON THE BOOK - points to a different book which is Bhagavad Gita by Bibek Debroy. Amazon delivered the wrong book thrice to me. I did a little digging and compared the ISBN of this book as printed above in the website to the actual ISBN on the book itself..Please correct this. I have attached a picture of the ISBN as printed on the wrong book but corresponding to the Matinee Men book
