BollySwar is a decade-wise compendium of information about the music of Hindi films. Volume 8 chronicles the Hindi film music of the decade between 2001 and 2010. This volume catalogues more than 1000 films and 8000 songs, involving more than 2000 music directors, lyricists and singers. An overview of the decade highlights the key artists of the decade - music directors, lyricists and singers - and discusses the emerging trends in Hindi film music. A yearly review provides listings of the year's top artists and songs and describes the key milestones of the year in Hindi film music. The bulk of the book provides the song listing of every Hindi film album released in the decade. Basic information about each film's cast and crew is provided and detailed music credits are provided. Where available, music credits go beyond information regarding music directors, lyricists and singers, and include the names of session musicians, assistants, programmers, arrangers, mixers, recordists, etc. Where applicable, music related awards are listed. Interesting trivia is listed for most films, more than 1500 in all. This includes information about artist debuts, plagiarised or sampled songs, controversies and stories behind the making of the film and its music. This book is primarily meant as a quick reference for people looking for information related to a Hindi film or a song, but readers can also browse through the book to get an overview of the events that shaped Bollywood music in the decade. Given that Hindi films are a reflection of the Indian society, the reader can also glean insights about the country's socio-political and cultural environment from the book.

Censorship is a bad word. It raises visions of dirty old men, armed with scissors, waiting to snip at any film that comes their way with no apparent provocation. That the practice militates against the spirit of liberty and the right to freedom of expression is an issue that concerns every right-thinking individual in a progressive democracy. The opposing view to this is that no freedom can ever be absolute and must necessarily be accompanied by appropriate checks and controls. In the absence of a self-regulatory mechanism within the Indian film industry, a third view is also gaining currency: the Central Board of Film Certification or CBFC can at best play an advisory role and rather than censor, must rate films according to their suitability. This book dwells into various aspects of the social discourse and raises some disturbing questions on issues like the government playing moral police, inconsistency in interpreting the censorship guidelines, liberties filmmakers take in glorifying sex and violence, role of the public at large, the feminist perspective on denigrating women on screen, politicization of the censorship process. It also offers some options by way of comparisons with the censorship norms prevailing in other leading filmmaking countries across the globe. Effectively, the book gets to the bottom of the censorship process and illustrates how it impacts both cinema and society in many different ways. With rare photographs from several controversial Bollywood films and details of scenes deleted by censors (which nobody would ever get to see), this is a timely eye-opener for anybody remotely curious, even amused (if not bewildered) by the unabashed celebrations of pornography in present-day Hindi cinema.
