Films have the ability to bring about a change in our hearts and minds. That is the reason I have chosen the concept of Bollywood. All sorts of Bollywood news and titbits have been used productively here. Most of them are the actual idioms used in various situations, collected from various leading newspapers and other sources. Newspapers have been diligently scanned and then selected news has been turned into interesting stories.
The concept of teaching English through the medium of India’s beloved Hindi film industry is original. A lot of creativity, arduous work, painstaking effort and vast research has resulted in this book. Moreover, I wish it to be read by all film and TV stars. These stars have educated and entertained us through Bollywood; now it’s my turn to entertain and educate them through their own medium. In fact, it has taken almost ten years to put this book together. The range of subjects and their presentation amounted to no less than doing a PhD on the subject. Believe me; it wasn’t easy!
My exclusive collection of words and phrases convey a profound message and values, and I have tried to make learning more meaningful by focusing on them. These words and phrases flow like a story.
Heart:touching real:life stories have been combined with the reel world, which is a very novel idea.
