My Take
There's something I love about a man who graduates from IIT Bombay and then becomes a film director. That engineer's instinct for structure tends to make for clean, well-built storytelling, and his 1989 Filmfare Best Director win suggests the talent was real early on. I find his sparse, deliberate body of work more compelling than a flood of forgettable titles. He seems to have stepped back from the spotlight, but I'm drawn to filmmakers who would rather make a few things with conviction than chase volume. Quiet craftsmanship over noise is a sensibility worth admiring.
