Contemporary directors with original works in Hindi cinema (Part 1)
Indian cinema is said to be inspired largely from the west. It also refines some of the existing plots with major themes like corruption or vengeance etc.
These Indian directors through their creative instinct are giving the Indian cinema valuable movies which are neither inspired by any written piece of literature nor are copied from any foreign film.
• Sriram Raghavan – He is the maven of the neo-noir thrillers in Indian cinema. Through his movies including Ek Hasina Thi, Johnny Gaddar and Badlapur, he was able to extract some intense performances from actors like Neil Nitin Mukesh, Urmila Matondkar and Varun Dhawan.
Though none of his movies proved to be blockbuster, most of them gained rave reviews from the critics and have done average to above average business.
• Zoya Akhtar – She started her career with drama Luck By Chance which focused on Indian cinema in a satirical manner. It was followed by multi-starrer road film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara which not only introduced adventure sports from the Spanish world to the Indian masses but also gave a message on living the life to the fullest.
Her upcoming film Dil Dhadakne Do is a drama based on dysfunctional Punjabi family and will release in 2015.
Other than keeping multiple actors in the form of ensemble casting or cameo appearances, actor Farhan Akhtar is always part of her projects.
• Sudhir Mishra – He started as a screenwriter in critically acclaimed movies like Jaane Bhi Do yaaron and Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho.
Most of his movies including Dharavi, Chameli, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi etc have artistic touch due to which his movies are less popular among the masses. Screenwriting of all his directorial ventures is also done by him.
• Madhur Bhandarkar – His cinema focuses on the negative dimension of the various spheres of the Indian society. The titles of his movies are based on the theme of the movie itself like Traffic Signal, Page 3, Corporate and Fashion etc.
Most of the protagonists in his line of cinema are females except the film Jail where a male (played by Neil Nitin Mukesh) was the leading character.
• Imtiaz Ali – India has a huge market for rom-coms most of which are either to too simple in nature or are inspired by some Hollywood work.
This director makes sure that the concept and storyline of his romantic movies is not based on the clichés. Through his movie Rockstar, he gave a new taste to Indian audiences and himself was evolved as a director.
These directors make sure that we as Indians can be proud of artistic works created by these without any need of inspiration from existing array of films !
