	Description:		Conceived, Written and Produced by Irfan Based on Pillars of Parallel Cinema by O.P. Srivastava The book offers a retrospective of 50 landmark films that defined Hindi parallel cinema, covering the period from the late 1960s to themid-1990s. It explores the emergence of parallel cinema as an alternative to mainstream Bollywood, emphasizing films driven by creative vision rather than commercial motivations. Srivastava highlights the socio-political contexts these films were set in and how they resonated with the middle-class audience by reflecting their realities. The book includes background stories about how each film was made and delves into the significant role these films played in shaping the "new wave" of Indian cinema. Filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, who contributed to this movement, praised the book for its comprehensive approach to documenting this important era in Indian film history.
