Actually, it started with a lifetime fascination with Bollywood, which led me to collect posters and other film memorabilia such as slides, lobby-cards, song-booklets and LP record covers. The turning point was when, as an eight-year-old in Shahjahanpur, I saw Amitabh Bachchan’s “Suhaag”.

I was so mesmerised that not only did I become an admirer of the actor but also got hooked onto Hindi films. Three years later, I began collecting Bollywood memorabilia and before I knew it my collection grew so large that I began to unravel and understand the fascinating journey of Indian cinema.

When I decided to compile a book that would showcase the history of Indian cinema I found posters told the tale best. They seemed the best mirrors of this long journey. Posters have been a prominent connecting force between viewers and the film from the beginning.

It is said that when Aamir was taking stock of his guests the next morning, it dawned on him that the one who was missing from the celebrity list was Bollywood’s current sweetheart Ranbir Kapoor. The party was held at 24 Pali Hill, Imran Khan’s residence that is just a few blocks away from Ranbir’s Krishna Raj bungalow.

Sources indicate that the reason why Ranbir reportedly stayed away is because he wasn’t keen to come face-to-face with his ex-buddy Imran and his fiancée Avantika Malik; especially after the media reported that Avantika and her mother Vandana Malik had torn Raajneeti to smithereens on their visit to the theatre.

Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' swept the 11th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards that concluded with much fanfare here early Sunday but the three-day event will perhaps be remembered more for the absence of Bollywood mega stars led by IIFA brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan, apparently due to a boycott threatened by southern Indian film distributors of the stars who attended the event.

There was nothing official about the absence of the Bachchans, including Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, as also Shah Rukh Khan, who had previously announced he would be at Colombo, but it was quite clear that Bollywood was taking the boycott threat seriously.

It's not that the southern Indian distributors are opposed per se to the event going out of India - it has previously been held in cities like Macau, Bangkok and Amsterdam - but they were specifically opposed to Colombo as the venue because of what they perceived to be the excesses by the Sri Lanka armed forces in the final push against the Tamil Tiger rebels last year.
