Subhash Ghai

Subhash Ghai earns my respect as a true all-rounder of Hindi cinema. Directing, producing, writing, acting and editing means he understands a film from end to end, and that command shaped the showman's instinct that made him one of the defining filmmakers of the 1980s and 90s. A Filmfare Best Director award and an IIFA Lifetime Achievement honour confirm the staying power. What I admire most is that he built Mukta Arts and ran both the creative and business engines himself. Filmmakers with that kind of total fluency are exactly the people who carry an industry through its golden years.
