Krishna demonstrates the mutual constitution of city and cinema – not in the familiar mode of scene analysis, but by examining film as industry. Setting the study in Hyderabad, capital of a Muslim-ruled state until its 1948 incorporation into India, allows Krishna to highlight the city's integration through film infrastructure into imperial, regional, national, and global circuits. Grounded in a distinctive South Asian city, Krishna's book brings into focus globally salient questions of citizenship and language politics, labour and migration, spectacular capitalism and tourism.'

It interrogates imperial, postcolonial, socio-cultural, and economic imprints as captured, introduced, and left behind by politics of cinema, in the site of Hyderabad. It traverses through the makings and remakings of Hyderabad as princely city, linguistic capital city, and global city, studied through capital, labour, and organization of the film industry. It brings together diverse, and rich historical material to narrate the social history of Hyderabad, over a hundred years.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
