The three Khans and all our yesterdays
Live MintA book on the Khans was inevitable, but why now? Kaveree Bamzai says she wrote The Three Khans And The Emergence Of New India because she lived through the same period as her subjects, and had met them several times over the years. The Three Khans takes us through 30 years of Hindi cinema, alternating between the trio’s films and personal lives and sometimes zooming out for a look at the nation. Bamzai, a journalist and former editor of India Today, writes that the book is “my own observations, that of friends and co-workers, and their own words chronicled over the years in reams of magazine pages”. This is especially a problem when there’s a contentious opinion—like Zero being described by Kaushik Bhaumik as one of the “most moving films about cinema ever imagined”.
