Everything that is so essentially Bollywood, the varied components that harmoniously coalesce to make a film, are depicted in Fawzan’s photographs. He shoots a different view of Bollywood by espying behind the scenes of action: no conventional, ‘frontal’ portraits, no staged construction of pretty images. Fawzan portrays the real ambience and the real people without movie glamour, artefacts that prop up stardust and ‘larger-than-life’ posturing—an idea that led him beyond moving pictures and the beautiful people that populate them. Moreover, it’s a look at how Bollywood has held Indians in its thrall for decades.
