Tigmanshu Dhulia

Tigmanshu Dhulia is the kind of multi-hyphenate I instinctively respect, because he never feels spread thin. Director, producer, actor, writer, casting director: each role seems to feed the others rather than dilute them. The detail I keep returning to is that he wrote the dialogue for Dil Se, the first Bollywood film to crack the UK top ten and screen at Berlin. That tells me his real gift is language, the actual words people say to each other on screen. Coming up through Allahabad rather than a metropolitan film dynasty gives his work an earthier credibility for me. I'd watch anything he writes.
