ABOUT THE BOOK
A Place in My Heart is a many-splendored thing. It is a listicle. It is a
celebration of the power of storytelling. It is also an account of a life lived
in the Bollywood trenches. National Award-winning author, journalist
and film critic Anupama Chopra writes about fifty films, artistes and
events that have left an indelible impression on her and shaped her
twenty-five-year-long career. Shah Rukh Khan is here. So are Super
Deluxe and the Cannes Film Festival. A Place in My Heart is a blend of
recommendations and remembrances, nostalgia and narratives. It is a
smorgasbord of cinematic delights, written, as Marie Kondo would say,
to 'spark joy.' Above all, it is a testament to Chopra's enduring love for all
things cinema.
