Photographs of Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu were also included. Hindustan Times review said "I flipped through this hardback on Bollywood films twice before reading a word within its glossy covers. The first time, I turned the pages quickly and curiously and I was impressed - actually blown away - because Lights Camera Masala is a design surprise"India Today's Kaveree Bamzai called the book's design "distractingly overwhelming" and asked whether one should see it, read it or tear it. Ramachandran's interviews of several actors were also included. Bamzai praised the photographs by saying that they had "repose which blinds us to their ubiquity". The book had 10 chapters. They were "The spark", "The reality", "The game is afoot", "The shoot 1", "Objects of desire", "The shoot 2", "Young Turks", "From pillar to post", "Brand Bollywood" and "The people have spoken". It discussed all the steps a film is involved in before being released; script, cast selection, filming, costumes and marketing. The presentation of the content in the book is very good and catchy that binds the reader to it. (en)
