The Maker Of Filmmakers

The Maker of Filmmakers by Radha Chadha tells the remarkable story of Jagat Murari, the visionary who built the Film and Television Institute of India from the ground up. After learning from Orson Welles in 1940s Hollywood, Murari returned to newly independent India and nurtured generations of cinema legends including Shabana Azmi and Adoor Gopalakrishnan. Based on diaries, letters, and over a hundred interviews, this richly illustrated biography captures the ambition and artistry behind Indian cinema's golden era.
