Trade Review

"[A] pioneering contribution to the emerging field of cinema studies in Pakistan. Going beyond the spatial borders of nation-states in South Asia and the limitations of decades, Dadi explores the cinematic movement of aesthetic forms and political consciousness. Professor Dadi's work will appeal to a wide readership, including South Asian cinephiles and scholars working on South Asian history and media studies. It serves as a key reference and a classic in the field of South Asian film and media studies."

"Even before Lahore Cinema: Between Realism and Fable, the study of the cinema in Pakistan owed much to the work of Iftikhar Dadi…In many ways, [it] can be read as a companion to Dadi’s 2010 Modernism and the Art of Muslim South Asia. For the curious reader, these books should be read side-by-side. Together, they help us to better understand and appreciate the distinct contribution of these two seminal work"
