Dubbed as the first encyclopedia on Bollywood, the book was announced by Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. in July 2002.[3][4] According to the managing director Aalok Wadhwa, the purpose of the book was "to create exclusively Indian content that is not only informative and scholarly but also entertaining".[3] The Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema, which was printed in Noida, was subsequently released by the company in association with Popular Prakashan on 26 February 2003 in Mumbai.[1]:ii[5] A critic from The Hindu described it as an "insightful study of Bollywood";[6] Suresh Kohli from The Tribune called it a "wonderfully produced, expensive coffee-table book".[7]
