  Produced, directed and starring Raj Kapoor, India's favourite storyteller, Shree 420 (1955) is one of Bollywood's all-time classics. The music continues to be popular with all ages and remains a legacy that is passed on through generations of Indian filmgoers. It's the story of Raj Saxena (Kapoor), a man who leaves his small hometown to arrive in Bombay, city of opportunities, to pursue his dreams of success with honesty, uprightness and a good education. Following his arrival he learns that Bombay has no place for such values; a strong division in the social structure defines it. The rich rule through underground activities and cheating the poor, and the poor survive these blows by begging, stealing and working the highly prevalent black market. As he struggles to find a place in the city, Raj meets Vidya (Nargis), a school teacher with similar values and they quickly fall in love. However, when he is offered a chance to move into debauched high society he soon finds himself shifting far away from his values and Vidya into a world of treachery where no price is too much to pay for success. On the DVD: Shree 420 is remastered from the original film and is presented in remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. --Anika Puri

• Bombay Talkie | DVD | (30/06/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Bombay Talkie is Merchant Ivory's affectionate bemused view of bollywood - India's huge dream factory. The film is like a brightly coloured sumptuous Indian sweet covered in gold foil and cameraman Subrata Mitra's ravishing photography has never been surpassed in any other of James Ivory's films. The story set off by elaborate studio numbers is a melodrama echoing those of Bombay's mass audience movies and the sexy best sellers of the film's heroine American authoress Lucia Lane (Jennifer Kendal). Visiting India in search of 'new material' she becomes romantically involved with handsome move star Vikram (Shashi Kapoor). When that doesn't work out she flees to an ashram to take up the spiritual life. That also - hilariously - doesn't work out and the ill-fated couple get together again with explosive results.

  Nawab a popular novelist of Hyderabad is suffering from the classic case of a writer's block. Five years have elapsed. Stories of substance seem to have dried up. Almost providentially Nawab comes across Meenaxi at a traditional qawwali ceremony. The young woman is enigmatic and individualistic. She's not quite willing to perform the part of a passive muse. Meenaxi assumes different personae. She can be the mysterious perfume trader of Hyderabad the exotic desert bloom of Jaisalmer and the orphaned Maria of Prague. Inexorably she consolidates her command over the novelist. She dismisses his renewed attempts at writing as insubstantial and hackneyed plunging him into a state of deeper despair. She is scathingly critical about his story and is amused by one of the characters he creates the lovelorn and awkward kaameshwar. Nawab strives to start on a new page all over again. Meenaxi comments that perhaps the book is in vain. In any case it is much too late. The writer must survive and live if he can without her support inspiration and criticism. Delving into the limitless world of creative endeavour and the vicissitudes in the way of such endeavours Meenaxi : Tale of 3 Cities approaches myriad aspects the relationship between art the real and the imagined being just one of them.
