My Take
Anurag Kashyap is the kind of filmmaker I instinctively root for. Coming out of Gorakhpur and trained at the University of Delhi, he built a career on refusing the glossy, song-and-dance template of mainstream Hindi cinema, choosing instead to depict violence, corruption and moral grey zones with unflinching honesty. Four Filmfare Awards and a French knighthood in the Order of Arts and Letters confirm that his uncompromising voice resonates far beyond India. What I admire most is his persistence as an auteur in an industry that rewards conformity. He proves that distinctive vision can survive commercial pressure, and that alone earns my lasting respect.
