Who's your favourite Filmmaker?

Who is your favourite film director?

In my opinion, Bhansali and Hirani are overrated.

Sriram Raghavan and Shakun Batra right now. Bhansali is only good for the visual conceptualization. He is a horrible director.

mani ratnam ( expect his pro communist movies)

rakesh om prakash mehra

zoya akhtar

SLB (except black and guzarish)

Gulzar

Guru Dutt

Karan Johar (for Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham)

Basu Chatterjee (I love Rajnigandha)

Ram Gopal Verma

Kamal Amrohi (got to include his name for Pakeezah)

Sriram Raghavan

Anurag Kashyap

Bimal Roy

Vishal Bhardwaj

I'm yet to see all of their films, but loved whatever I have seen of their work, barring a couple here and there.. :)

Ayan Mukherjee. Apart from his personal life, he is a great director.

Ashutosh Gowarikar

Imtiaz Ali (for JWM and Rockstar)

Rajkumar Hirani, Zoya and Farhan Akhter etc. are also good for specific works.

Since my dad is a huge fan of 50s & 60s movies, I end up watching those multiple times. I will always be biased towards B&W movies. I can't sing enough praises for the music & lyrics from that time period.. Heavenly!!

Shimit Anand, Zoya, Kabir Khan, sriram and imtiaz

Legendary filmmakers and two of my top three favourites. Some of my most favourite films have been directed by them.

Black and white films were simple and honest. I miss that beauty on screen. Wish we could have it back.

First and foremost :Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen,Rituparno Ghosh( notably earlier movies)

Then Manmohan Desai, Hrishikesh Mukherjee,Mani Ratnam,Wong Kar Wai,Stanley Kubrick, Richard Linklater,Christopher Nolan,Greta Gerwig,Claire Denis,Ava DuVernay,Vikramaditya Motwane,Terrence Mallik and last but not the least Francis Ford Coppola.
