5 Most Underrated New Age Directors Of Bollywood

A film is never really good if the camera isn't an eye in the head of the poet, and the poet is the Director of the movie. All other people stand second in the line, including the most stellar actors, if the director doesn't say action and cut at the right moment. Bollywood has any such poets who haven't heard the song of their glory! Here are the most underrated new age directors of Bollywood.

Gauri Shinde

Her name tops the charts and lists around every women centric discussion and debate. She’s two films old. English Vinglish and Dear Zindagi, both are touted as revelations about the current society and culture. She touched the untouched chords of the society with her vision in Sridevi’s English Vinglish which was every housewife’s story in India! Every independent girl is like Kiara and everyone needs a Jug like the two in Dear Zindagi. Gauri has caught the nerve and kept pace with the time. She’s observed what we all see but never speak about it, and has turned these things into movies. Yet, we don’t hear much about her, and she isn’t counted or named among the so called mainstream filmmakers. May be different is her mainstream!

Vikramaditya Motwane

He has given India one of the best movies which will be definitely counted among classics in the next 10 years! Vikramditya gave us the Ranveer Singh we never knew existed. He gave us Varun Srivastava in Lootera and Pakhi aka Sonakshi Sinha. Both actors delivered the best performances of their career when nobody expected such talent coming from them. Sonakshi got rid of her Rajjo tag from Dabangg and Ranveer did not become the roadside Romeo for the first time. Impeccable direction and beautiful story telling is Vikramaditya Motwane’s strength. He made a prolific movie like Udaan, and now his upcoming movie Trapped is creating buzz. Vikram’s next is Bhavesh Joshi which is also one of the most anticipated films of 2017. But, you don’t see accolades coming in for him as a director as often as we see them coming for may be directors of much average caliber in the industry.

Homi Adajania

Being Cyrus, Cocktail and Finding Fanny, Homi is the most underrated director of our times. Homi has an out of the box way of storytelling which no other filmmaker has. In his extremely unconventional approach to filmmaking, he’s made the most amazing movies for us. He’s tapped the potential of the most untapped actors of our industry like Deepika in Cocktail, which gave her the flight and recognition she’d been longing for as Veronica. Homi made an extremely abstract film like Finding Fanny and that movie didn’t get its due. There are many who don’t even know that it was a movie and a spectacular one! Homi deserves our attention, appreciation and he needs to make more and more movies!

Make more movies guys!
