My Take

Abhinav Kashyap fascinates me as a builder of stories rather than a face on the poster. Directing and co-writing Dabangg meant engineering one of Bollywood's loudest crowd-pleasers, and that kind of mass spectacle quietly demands real structural craft. Coming out of small-town Uttar Pradesh and through the University of Delhi, he carries the discipline of a writer first. Even his self-deprecating online handle hints at a man who doesn't take himself too seriously. I find myself rooting for the unglamorous architects of cinema, the ones who make the noise work, and I'd happily watch whatever he chooses to direct next.
