In the 1980s; an unheralded Hindi movie; made on a budget of less than Rs 7 lakh; went from a quiet showing at the box office to developing a reputation as India s definitive black comedy. Some of the country s finest theatre and film talents all at key stages in their careers participated in its creation; but the journey was anything but smooth. Among other things; it involved bumping off disco killers and talking gorillas; finding air-conditioned rooms for dead rats; persuading a respected actor to stop sulking and eat his meals; and resisting the temptation to introduce logic into a madcap script. In the end; it was worth it. Kundan Shah s Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is now a byword for the sort of absurdist; satirical humour that Hindi cinema just hasn t seen enough of. This is the story of how it came to be despite incredible odds and what it might have been. Jai Arjun Singh s engaging take on the making of the film and its cult following is as entertaining as the film itself.

They are full of copyright free images. and often are of quality and artistic style that you wont find in more modern collections. You basically need to scan and cut these images. which I do that with an electronic di-cut machine- super easy.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Resource!By Karo56Really wonderful book. I was a little upset that some of the designs were very complex and very small. until I realized that this is a Reprint of the original companys design book. from the early 1900s. It shows the prices at that time. and that some of these designs are enormous. door surrounds. etc. I suddenly appreciated it much more. Great service and quick delivery.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great design idea Book!!!!!!!!!By lyOldThis is one of the most amazing design books I have ever seen.
