My Take
There's something that draws me to Shimit Amin. Born in Kampala, Uganda, and raised in Florida, he made his name in Indian cinema, best known for directing Chak De! India with Shah Rukh Khan. That film about a coach rebuilding the women's national hockey team rejected cheap sentiment for gritty, earned grit, and it won him CNN-IBN Indian of the Year in 2007. Maybe it's his background as an editor, but his sense of rhythm and timing is exceptional. He's a tough-minded realist working at a different angle from Bollywood's mainstream, and I'm in no hurry, I'll happily wait for whatever he does next.
