The Routledge Handbook of South Asian Cinemas is the first collection of original contributions to comprehensively analyze one of the most diverse and prolific cinema-producing regions of the world. It features chapters by up-and-coming and established scholars from a diverse array of academic specialties that survey South Asian cinemas, placing an emphasis on new, emerging, and underexplored cinematic terrains.

The handbook is organized in two parts: Regions and Themes. The first part examines the film industries from a regional perspective, including the cinemas of various Indian languages, in conjunction with the cinemas of other South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The second part examines issues, themes, and practices that cut across regions, including distribution platforms, audiences, song and dance, and gender and sexuality.

A crucial intervention in the field of South Asian Cinema Studies, this handbook is an essential reference work for students and researchers of Asian cinema, film and culture and a significant contribution to South Asian Studies.
