My Take
Anurag Basu interests me as a filmmaker who turned early failure into a signature. Coming out of Bhilai and trained in Mumbai, he clawed his way back with Murder and Gangster, eventually picking up a Filmfare Award. What I admire is that he refuses the easy Bollywood formula, leaning instead into thrillers and layered ensemble dramas with genuine narrative spine. There is a craftsman's stubbornness in his work that I find compelling.
