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.

Overview

Anurag Kashyap (born 10 September 1972) is an Indian filmmaker and actor known for his works in Hindi cinema. He is the recipient of four Filmfare Awards. The Government of France made him a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2013.
