Written over the years, 16 Frames is a collection of 16 critical articles on cinema analyzing
the different trends and intertextualising cinema with the other art forms. The short and
crisp articles are multilayered to raise the curiosity of the reader and are likely to
fascinate her with the originality of the subjects dealt with. As award-winning film critic
Shoma A. Chatterji comments – ‘the book reads on, like a river, sometimes placid,
sometimes turbulent, flowing through the reader’s mind, through the films one has
certainly watched and films one has never seen and is never likely to see.’
