Abstract:

"Imagine films with the scale of classic Hollywood Busby Berkeley musicals, the action of James Bond thrillers, and the epic style of spaghettic Westerns. Indian 'filmi' are this and more; the Indian film industry is the new Hollywood. 750 feature films a year! 100,000,000 viewers per week! 600 movie magazines! Casts of thousands; orchestras of hundreds! Astonishing soundtracks mixing classical music, folk music, Western pop, reggae and everything else under the sun! There Will Always Be Stars in the Sky takes you behind the scenes of India's Hollywood to meet star actors (Raj Kapoor), star singers (Lata Mangeshkar), top musical directors (Kalyanji Anandji) and others in recording sessions, on shooting sets, in posh residences and in the teeming streets." -- VHS Container
