Pirates of Bollywood, Dr. Kalyan's Thrilling Legal Adventure in Bombay - Published on 08/04/14

Dr. Kalyan's second law thriller in his Intellectual Property Fiction series has just been released for pre-order on Apple IBooks. A legal adventure set in Bombay, the novel takes the reader through a gripping tale of film production, piracy and pillage. Unwittingly drawn into a violent war between producers and pirates, Arjun, a young, blind lawyer, goes on a wild goose chase in the city of dreams.

Bangalore, India - Show business is a dark and dangerous world of piracy. A young, gifted lawyer�s quest to promote creative freedom introduces him to this world, putting his life in grave danger. Set in Bombay, the seat of Bollywood, Pirates of Bollywood, Dr. Kalyan's second law thriller, zooms in on the tussle between film producers and pirate mafia. Court room drama, legal insights and enriching encounters paint a picture of Bollywood not too far removed from reality.

Film producers, record labels, and software companies have been grappling with copyright piracy for a very long time. Several research studies have concluded that losses from piracy to various creative industries are in billions of dollars. A recent study of he Indian Chamber of Commerce estimates losses from piracy in India to be more than a billion dollars. Many scholars have also established strong linkages between piracy, terrorism and organized crime.

In this backdrop, Dr. Kalyan's Pirates of Bollywood, his second in the IP law thriller series, fictionalizes and dramaticizes the ongoing war between producers, pirates and police. Arjun, the protagonist from Dr. Kalyan's first work, Road Humps and Sidewalks, a drug patent thriller, gets drawn into a fierce war between producers and pirates, putting his life in great danger.

Talking about his second novel, Dr. Kalyan said, "Piracy is a way of life in India. Against the odds of stringent laws, and enforcement systems, the piracy business manages to survive and prosper. I have always wondered if there is much more in piracy than meets the eye. Pirates of Bollywood gives wings to some of my wild conspiracy theories about the linkages between piracy, film production and crime."
