Oh excellent. So what Director(s) do you hold in high regard?

[kaykay]

i really like directors like Mrinal Sen, Satyajit Ray, Basu Chatterjee, Buddhadeb das gupta, Kamal amrohi, vijay anand, and many more..

I'm glad you put Vijay Anand there with the Bengali greats. But no Bimal Roy and Shyam Benegal?

Here's my article on Vijay Anand - a master filmmaker in my opinion: "A Slice of Bollywood : Vijay Anand"

About Kamal Amrohi - you hold him in high regard based on just 2 or 3 movies? He's hardly made any more movies. He took years and years for Pakeezah. Razia Sultan was opulence and performance rather than direction. Mahal was indeed good, but that's about it.

filmmaker like kamal amrohi, mrinal sen they dont make film for commercial purpose...

but i really enjoyed their film. 2-3 movies does not matter, but theu have prove what they are capable of-lot to learn from them..and offcourse i love bimal roy, shayam bengal, guru dutt..
