Textile Tycoon and author Dhruv Somani recently launched his latest four-volume Bollywood book series, titled ‘A Touch of Evil’. The book is an ultimate guide to Hindi cinema’s horror films.

Dhruv Somani’s book series is a culmination of over 300 suspense, thriller and horror films. It encapsulates the essence of a genre that has been largely untapped in terms of serious documentation. Many of the films chosen have been path-breaking and are recognised as milestones in the history of Indian cinema. However, several films that one may have branded as ‘duds’ when they were released, had a strong star cast and melodious music. They have also contributed in a significant way to shaping this genre, but they are underrated and will soon be forgotten if not for documentation.

Adding to the appeal of this four-volume anthology are 500 images of posters, lobby cards and original booklets, besides fascinating trivia on maverick filmmakers and legendary stars.

Shining a spotlight on the best of this genre, these books traverse seven decades of cinema, to identify and celebrate movie milestones.

The 4-volume set is priced at Rs. 5999.

The Book is also available on Amazon, Flipkart and eBay. A must have book for the Bollywood film lovers!!
