Ganti has written two books: ''Bollywood: A Guidebook to Popular Hindi Cinema'' (2004), and ''Producing Bollywood: Inside the Contemporary Hindi Film Industry'' (2012). The latter is about Bollywood industry from 1994 to 2010 and was published on 7 March 2012 by the [[Duke University Press]], receiving positive critical reviews. Ritesh Mehta from the ''[[International Journal of Communication]]'' praised her for "[crafting] an ode to an India in deep transition, via the multifaceted lenses of a glamorized and iconic subsection of its Hindi-language filmmakers and actors... [A] landmark study." The anthropologist and professor [[Arjun Appadurai]] of the New York University called it "the first book on Bollywood to combine a deep knowledge of the dynamics of script, song, stars, and style in this cinematic world with an equally keen sense of the unique nature of the politics, finance, and cultural prejudices of the film industry".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/Producing-Bollywood-Inside-Contemporary-Industry/dp/0822352133 |title=Producing Bollywood: Inside the Contemporary Hindi Film Industry (Inglés) Tapa blanda – 7 Marzo 2012 |date=7 March 2012 |website=[[Amazon (company)|Amazon]] |language=en |trans-title=Producing Bollywood: Inside the Contemporary Hindi Film Industry (English) Paperback – 7 March 2012 |last=Ganti |first=Tejaswini |access-date=25 April 2021 |archive-date=14 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150414044442/http://www.amazon.com/Producing-Bollywood-Inside-Contemporary-Industry/dp/0822352133 |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
