A panoramic celebration of Indian cinema through the lives and legacies of 60 extraordinary directors who have shaped its huesβfrom silhouettes of Phalkeβs silent reels to the slick thrillers of Sriram Raghavan to the lyricism of Ray and GhatakβOne Amazing Filmmaker at a Time is a tribute to Indiaβs astonishing cinematic breadth. Indian cinema is more than an industryβit is a mirror, a dreamscape, a revolution in motion, where a gaze can ignite a rebellion, and a song can soothe a nation. With essays that combine insight, anecdote, and aesthetic curiosity, this book traverses Hindi blockbusters, regional masterpieces, and fierce documentaries to demonstrate how Indian filmmakers have toldβand retoldβthe story of India. Richly illustrated with color portraits, each chapter is a window into the world of a single filmmaker, revealing how their personal vision refracted the political, cultural, and emotional tides of their time. Some traded in melodrama and spectacle, others in silence and resistance. Together, they forged a cinematic tradition as diverse and unruly as the country itself. Whether you’re a student of film, a lover of stories, or someone who still hums old movie songs on rainy afternoons, this book is an invitation to discoverβor rediscoverβthe genius behind the camera. Itβs a curated journey, not a complete one, but sometimes, the only way to understand the whole is to meet itβone amazing filmmaker at a time.
