The book is about the reciprocal relationship between cinema and the city as two institutions which co-constitute each other while fashioning the socio-political currents of the region. It interrogates imperial, postcolonial, socio-cultural, and economic imprints as captured, introduced, and left behind by politics of cinema, in the site of Hyderabad. It traverses through the makings and remakings of Hyderabad as princely city, linguistic capital city, and global city, studied through capital, labour, and organization of the film industry. It brings together diverse, and rich historical material to narrate the social history of Hyderabad, over a hundred years.

'Congratulations to Yamini Krishna for breaking such new ground. The great city of Hyderabad has been one of India's film metropolises for much more than a century, and here is a resourcefully researched and evocatively written book that shows us 'how the city and cinema co-constitute each other'. Film City Urbanism is not only 'the story of a place', its histories and its screens, but also an interdisciplinary tour de force that reshapes film and cultural studies, both Indian and international.' Thomas Waugh, author of The Conscience of Cinema: The Works of Joris Ivens 1912–1989
