Bombay Talkies – 1. Karan johar 2. Joya akhtar 3. Anurag kashiyap 4. Dibakar benerjee

Surprisingly karan johar gave the best. The guy has talent, don’t understand why he is wasting it in making crappy love – family – over the top – mega dramatic movies. His story is the best. Its crisp and very nicely explained and sends out the message very clearly with entertainment.  Though all the other directors have also tried the same but they lacked some how. I would say karan wins by a wide margin here. The second one is Joya Akhtar, she manages to send out the message clearly. The story is very sensitive but no entertainment factor unlike karan.  Anurag tries to do both and wants to repeat the GOW charm but could not live upto that. The bihari accent dialogues looks repetitive. Though couple of new punches but not very entertaining. Dibakar actually got one of the best story, atleast much better than anurag kashyap but somehow he could not come up with a good one. He lackes in explaining his story properly. He tried to make it a cinematic abstract and symbolism. The theme was not very clear!! This is very clear from the comment I heard in theatre from a “intellectual” lady  - poor guy, he could have waited atleast for 2 more minutes and taken that money. This sums up that dibakar benerjee failed to put the emotions on celluloid properly. Too much of abtract or symbolism also does not work sometime.  I agree that Cinema is a very intelligent medium but still some clarity is required. But mind it, its not at all fault of the actor. Siddiqui did the justice but somewhere direction failed.

But in the end I would say I observed one very important thing. Do these stories actually reflect the life or personality of respective directors.?? And Man, Randeep hooda has some guts…!!!
