Years Come And Go, But These Directors Insist On Making Same Films Over And Over Again

    Years Come And Go, But These Directors Insist On Making Same Films Over And Over Again

    The debate between what works in Bollywood is a never-ending one. While some loyalists would say that sticking to formulas works, there are many who argues in the favor of experimentation.

    While there are directors who generally shine in one genre, they do not necessarily get stuck with the same tropes. On the other hand, there are directors who essentially end up making the same film with the same elements over and over again, even if they are in different genres. Here are the ones we are talking about.


    J.P Dutta

    So we get it that you are enamored with men in uniform. Honestly, so are we, but that does not mean from 1997 to 2018 that was the only genre you could come up with. Ok, we give you Umraao Jaan, but L.O.C. Kargil was about 4 hours long, there was nothing new left about the army that the movie did not deal with. You could have seriously spared us from Paltan.

    Sajid Khan

    Forced humor, WhatsApp jokes, big palatial houses, actresses in gorgeous clothes and a chaotic and confusing ending- guess which Sajid Khan movie we are talking about! Well, all of them,

    Prabhudeva

    Yes, he is a dancer like no other and yes, Wanted was actually fun to watch. But after that, Prabhudeva has been recycling the same thing again and again. In every movie, there is a gooooood hero and a baaaaad villain, and after romancing the heroine and throwing a few punches, the hero defeats the villain. Like seriously, what the heck was Action Jackson and Singhh Is Bling!

    Imtiaz Ali

    There, we said it. We are not saying that we do not love his films or his brands of Sufiyana romance, but he seriously needs to offer more than. Broken man-children on a journey discovery peppered with gorgeous locations and soulful music can be used only a finite number of times.

    Abbas Mustan

    Just like their white clothes, they are very attached to the same narrative and style they use in every film of theirs. Good looking people, in gorgeous clothes and locale with hi-tech gadgets pulling off scams that run into million as everyone double crosses everyone was fun the first few times around. Now it just feels boring and dated.

    Rohit Shetty

    To be honest, Rohit has actually dabbled into a few genres. But no matter which genre he is in, his cocktails always follow the same recipe. Some action, some comedy, flying cars and a loud burst of colors and more often than not Goa- you simply cannot tell one Rohit Shetty film apart from another.
