“Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost”; “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai”; “Jo main bolta hun, Woh main karta hun. Jo main nahi bolta woh main definitely karta hun” Lines from well-remembered films (or ‘dialogues’ as we call them), are part of the currency of our everyday speech. Climactic scenes are unforgettably etched in our minds. Yes, we don’t just watch movies, we internalize them. How many times, have you selected a movie shuffling through multiple reviews and ratings only to find that what you see on screen is very different from what you were led to believe? You wonder if they were written more objectively and someone like you could tell what to expect? Here is an attempt to do just that. First Day, Last Show takes you through an engrossing journey of movies seen through the eyes of a common cinemagoer. The book is a bouquet of impressions about films gathered over a period of four years. You will relate to these views easily, even if you have not seen or heard about the movie earlier. All you need is to be a fairly regular cinema goer. If you love movies, you will love reading First Day, Last Show.

For more than a hundred years now, Indians have watched movies made in the subcontinent, sung the songs and gossiped about the stars. Bollywood has been a pion, a popular tradition and a shared national conversation. In recent decades, as India has experienced economic and social change, both the film industry and the entertainment it produces have transformed themselves as well. First Day First Show is Anupama Chopra's guide to this dazzling world of lights, cameras and stars but also to its shadowing darkness. She takes us into the lives of the stars and into the struggles of those who never make it to centre stage; she lets us participate in the making of legendary hits like Sholay and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and also the hard-won successes of independent film-makers; she shows us the glamour as well as the murky links with the underworld. There is also the odd story of the royal bodyguard of Bhutan who became a scriptwriter; of the embarred Pakistani soldiers at Wagah border who did not allow their favourite Indian superstars to shoot.

The magic of summer comes to life in this “heartfelt” (School Library Journal) middle grade debut about an eleven-year-old girl who must save the future by restarting time after she realizes that her wish to relive the last day of summer may not have been such a great thing after all. What if you could get a do-over—a chance to relive a day in your life over and over again until you got it right? Would you? After finding a mysterious set of paints in her backpack, eleven-year-old Haleigh Adams paints a picture of her last day at the New Jersey shore. When she wakes up the next morning, Haleigh finds that her wish for an endless summer with her new friend Kevin has come true. At first, she’s thrilled, but Haliegh soon learns that staying in one place—and time—comes with a price. And when Haleigh realizes her parents have been keeping a secret, she is faced with a choice: do nothing and miss out on the good things that come with growing up or find the secret of the time loop she’s trapped in and face the inevitable realities of moving on. As she and Kevin set out to find the source of the magic paints, Haleigh worries it might be too late. Will she be able to restart time? And if she does, will it be the biggest mistake of her life?
