Bollywood Film Traffic
A History of Hindi Films’ Circulation in Beirut, Cairo, and Dubai (1954–2014)
About this book
This book brings to light a lesser-explored facet of cultural globalization by unearthing Bollywood films circulations in the Middle East. Delving into the intricacies of South-South cinematic circuits, it unveils the networks linking the Bombay film industry with the Arab world. Through a blend of historical analysis and ethnographic insights, the book offers an exploration of how film circulations have evolved amidst geopolitical shifts and technological advancements. By reframing our perspective to view Arab cinema cultures through the lens of the Bombay film industry, it challenges prevailing Orientalist narratives, offering a nuanced and refreshing portrayal of the Arab-speaking region.
