'There are now many books on past classics so it is refreshing to read Gautam Chintamani's chronicling of how a modern classic like Qayamat se Qayamat Tak came to be made. Writing with clarity and enthusiasm Chintamanis research is thorough and brought alive by experience and memory. In addition this book is as close we may come to a biography of the elusive and important director Mansoor Khan.' - Nasreen Munni Kabir author and film-maker
