The Natyashastra, an ancient India theory of aesthetics, says there are nine basic emotions that the superior work of art should evoke and represent. Cherry-picking iconography from throughout Tamil cinema history, this book features specially commissioned hand painted cinema billboards which exemplify each of these emotions.
