So Many Cinemas: The Motion Picture in India (1996) is a collector’s delight. In it, the kahanikaar B.D. Garga chronicles many cinematic milestones. The text and images point to a beautiful cinematic legacy but would’ve certainly been lost had it not been for Garga’s efforts. The concluding lecture of the series talks of how he constructs compelling film criticism from fragments of films. The narrative that frames the memorabilia in his collection is as important as the images themselves.
