About this listen

In Romancing with Life, the first-ever full-fledged memoir by a leading Bollywood star, Dev Anand tells his remarkable life story like only he can. Here are tales from Dev's youth in 1930s Gurdaspur and Lahore; his years of struggle in 1940s Bombay; his friendship with Guru Dutt and his doomed romance with Suraiya; his marriage to co-star Kalpana Kartik; his relationships with his brothers Chetan and Vijay Anand, with S. D. and R. D. Burman, with his compatriots Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor, to both of whom he was very close; and with his heroines, from Geeta Bali, Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Vyjayanthimala, Mumtaz, and Hema Malini to Waheeda Rehman, Zeenat Aman, and Tina Munim, all of whom he launched.

Dev Anand has produced an addictive audiobook chock-full of bittersweet reminiscences, written in a pacy, effervescent style that carries the listener through 60 of Bollywood's most interesting years. Romancing with Life is the quintessential Dev Anand.

interesting initially, but too long towards the end. it doesn't delve into lives of family as one would expect. some good insights into the life of the evergreen genius!

too long, too detailed, insightful in parts...
