Pillars of Parallel Cinema is a celebration of India’s rich cinematic tradition beyond mainstream Bollywood. Written by O.P. Srivastava, the book highlights 50 landmark Hindi films that shaped and defined the Parallel Cinema movement—a film movement known for its realism, social consciousness, and artistic depth.

Through carefully curated selections, the author traces the evolution of this alternative film tradition, spotlighting filmmakers, actors, and stories that broke away from formula-driven cinema to portray the raw, unvarnished realities of Indian life. These films not only influenced generations of cinephiles but also brought Indian cinema recognition on global platforms.

The book serves as both a guide and tribute—perfect for film lovers, students of cinema, and anyone interested in understanding how movies can be a medium of social change as much as entertainment.
