The Mumbai-based Hindi film industry, popularly known as Bollywood, has, over time, seen a substantial increase in the number of women who choose to work behind the scenes, as directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, choreographers and editors. Scripting Bollywood is a first-ofits-kind volume of interviews that aims to amplify the discussion on the contribution of women screenwriters. Through candid, insightful conversations, 14 women, who have penned everything from mainstream masala potboilers to poignant, humorous stories for the big screen, give their take on female writers and their relationship with the commercial Bollywood framework; women and collaborative processes of filmmaking; and how regular women’s lives and their realities influence their work.
