My Take
Dibakar Banerjee is exactly the kind of filmmaker Indian cinema needs more of. Coming out of advertising in New Delhi, he carries an instinct for compressing meaning into tight frames, and it shows in his Hindi work. Rather than leaning on song-and-dance spectacle, he tends to examine the harder edges of society and human contradiction with a cool, observant eye. Running his own production house lets him chase the stories he actually wants to tell. I have a soft spot for directors who prize substance over flash, and Banerjee strikes me as a craftsman worth sitting down and studying carefully.
