Shah Rukh Khan's larger-than-life tale takes us through the colorful and idiosyncratic Bollywood movie industry, where fantastic dreams and outrageous obsessions share the spotlight with extortion, murder, and corruption. Khan broke into this $1.5 billion business despite the fact that it has always been controlled by a handful of legendary film families and sometimes funded by black market money. As a Muslim in a Hindu majority nation, exulting in classic Indian cultural values, Khan has come to embody the aspirations and contradictions of a complicated culture tumbling headlong into American style capitalism. His story is a mirror to the greater Indian story and the underbelly of the culture of Bollywood.-- From publisher description. 600 10 Khan, Shah Rukh,|d1965- 650 0 Motion picture actors and actresses|zIndia|vBiography. 856 42 |3table of contents only|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ ecip072/2006033943.html 935 .o14351237 946 PFA PN2888.K48C46 2007.
