AlbakiReads Editorial A reference guide to India’s post-2010 independent-film movement
A reference guide to India’s post-2010 independent-film movement
Covering a decade beginning with the consolidation of India’s new independent cinema in 2010, this compact guide places films alongside shifts in the country’s political, economic, cultural, and social landscape. It maps a filmmaking current outside Bollywood’s dominant sphere and uses concise case studies to examine work engaging with LGBTQ+ issues, women’s empowerment, caste discrimination, populist politics, and religious violence. The book’s reference-oriented format makes it less a general history of Indian film than a focused introduction to a particular contemporary independent movement and the intersections of screen culture and public life that shape it.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and researchers of contemporary Indian cinema
- Film and cultural-studies readers interested in independent cinema
- Readers exploring links between cinema, politics, and social issues in India

This book offers a concise and cutting-edge repository of essential information on new independent Indian films, which have orchestrated a recent renaissance in the Bollywood-dominated Indian cinema sphere.
Spotlighting a specific timeline, from the Indies' consolidated emergence in 2010 across a decade of their development, the book takes note of recent transformations in the Indian political, economic, cultural and social matrix and the concurrent release of unflinchingly interrogative and radically evocative films that traverse LGBTQ+ issues, female empowerment, caste discrimination, populist politics and religious violence.
A combination of essential Indie-specific information and concise case studies makes this a must-have quick guide to the future torchbearers of Indian cinema for scholars, students, early career researchers and a global audience interested in intersecting aspects of cinema, culture, politics and society in contemporary India.
