Zusammenfassung:
'Provincializing Bollywood' argues that Bhojpuri cinema exemplifies the overflow of a provincial derivative form that defies its place in the given scheme of things. Situating it at the intersection of vernacular media production and the infrastructural-political reordering of provincial north India, the book shows that Bhojpuri media's characteristic 'disobedience' is marked by a libidinal excess - simultaneously scandalising and moralising - to address the inexact calculi of Bhojpuri speaking region's'underdevelopment'.
