1/2. Indian movies are the most viewed films in the world, reaching well beyond the billion-strong audience in India itself. But forget the kitsch, gaudy stereotypes. Ever since the beginning, Hindi films have been about social and political engineering, about the placing and reinforcing of political resistance, social mores and moral principles. This programme deals with the Indian film industry up to Independence. Presented by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown . Producer Simon Hollis Repeated on Sunday at 12.15am
