The above post was written right at the cusp of my interest in Bollywood films and scores, 24 years ago. In fact, Indian cinema in general, also beyond Bollywood (especially Satyjajit Ray). It petered out a bit some 10 years ago; it’s simply such an enormous industry of which to keep abreast. But I do have some recommendations, should they be necessary.
By the way, we have a separate topic for A.R. Rahman.
