The book explores Manto's critical perspective on Bollywood, revealing the superficiality and artifice of the film industry. Through sharp observations, it highlights the absurdities, such as a horse painted to resemble a zebra and the use of fans to simulate rain. Manto's disdain for the glamorized lives of tinsel town offers a candid look at the contrast between reality and the constructed images of fame.
