My Take
Maneesh Sharma is one of the Bollywood directors I find most quietly interesting, because he balances commercial appeal with real storytelling control. From the charming Band Baaja Baaraat to the spy spectacle of Tiger 3 and the unsettling Fan, his range is impressive. A Filmfare winner from Delhi, he never lets the song-and-dance machinery swallow the narrative core. To me, the directors who matter most in popular Hindi cinema are exactly these versatile craftsmen who entertain millions without going hollow. Sharma sits firmly in that camp, and I expect his best work is still ahead.
