King Of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema

Best

Well not only about SRK but also about Bollywood in general. His world and this world are so different it's like they are on different dimensions. I hope there'll be a second edition on this from the time it was published until now or a few more years from now.

I took this for inspiring and the book covers most of the details and includes other characters or stakeholders like directors, producers etc.Have to refer Google to translate or understand difficult words and here the author has to take care in writing other books.I am missing SRK as I am searching though all the pages. I still miss him and have to crawl the internet to understand him.I wish I get a time to spend with my inspiration to see and learn him closely,

Very convinient to buy books online and read them on yor device. Only if the price could be a bit better for ebooks

It's such an interesting book to read about Bollywood industry ND ofcouse about king khan. This book tells how inspiring SRK journey

A really good book. Its insightful how the Hindi Film Industry changed its course and how the majour players like Aditya chopra, karan johar and many other came into the scene and had there share of luck in-between of course we have Sharukh khan. It gets you closer to the entire Bollywood scene from the 90s. Would highly recommend to people who would like to have a glimps of the evolution of this glamour world.

Don’t read this cringe account, YouTube will serve you better

Very satisfying experience and I never expect to receive my item so fast!

Really enjoyed and enjoying reading this book. It is full of so many insights and interesting stories into the lives of all the amazing film makers who work extremely hard to entertain millions of people across the world every day with their stories. It was also sad to read about the darker side that has a huge impact on the lives of the the actors, directors, producers and crew of the film fraternity. Great book, loved it. Thank you.

Etant une fan de Shah Rukh Khan , j'ai apprécié ce livre qui met en lumière un parallèle intéressant entre le parcours cinématographique de SRK et l'évolution de l'Inde et l'ouverture de ce pays au monde.J'ai appris des anecdotes sur l'homme et l'acteur.Et ce livre écrit en anglais n'a pas été trop difficile à décrypter pour moi. ( avec l'aide d'un dictionnaire de traductions!)Un Bémol cependant, le livre écrit déjà depuis quelques années retrace l'histoire de SRK seulement jusqu'à l'année 2006.. Anupama ...on attend la suite de la saga dans un prochain livre! Racontes nous encore...Bref, à recommander pour les fans comme moi et pour les autres aussi qui sont curieux de découvrir l'homme, l'acteur, la star... le phénomène SRK!

The story of Shah Rukh Khan is very touching. A boy from a middle class family who became an actor and a world star with a huge fan following. Nothing is impossible. While reading the book you learn a lot for your own life and it's truly a book every Shah Rukh Khan fan should read.

This is an enjoyable, insightful read telling both the rise of Shah Rukh Khan to superstardom and the rise of India cinema. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. To understand the country and people of India, you must understand their movies which reflect their cultures, religion, and worldview. India is as complex as America with bloody religious conflicts, terrorists attacks, the extreme poor living near the extreme rich. It is a nation with over three thousands years of history and is currently the the largest, by population, democratic country in the world. Many of the most popular Bollywood movies are fantasy musicals filled with fun dance and end happily, unlike the real world. Bollywood films become the key link for 2nd and 3rd generation Indians who live overseas. How they perceive their culture and roots if from these movies.Enter Shah Rukh Khan who came from a humble background to rise to the top of Bollywood. A Muslim boy who came a superstar in Hindu movies. His passion for movies and ambition continue to drive him. Neither terrorists, mobsters, or box office flops have stopped him.For anyone interested in Bollywood or India, I highly recommend this book. I do suggest, though, to wait to read this book until after watching several of the more popular Bollywood movies so you will have a frame of reference. A must see movie you need to watch is Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge (often just called DDLJ). Which translates to "The Brave-hearted Will Take the Bride". It is the movie which launched Shak Rukh Khan to superstardom and is the longest running movie in Indian Theaters (its still running to this day).
