My Take
Agnihotri fascinates me less for any single film than for the unusual position he occupies. A Gwalior-born director, writer and producer who also sits on India's film certification board, he stands on both sides of the line between making cinema and regulating it. That dual role is rare and inevitably controversial. His willingness to court fierce debate keeps him at the centre of cultural arguments, and whatever one thinks of his choices, a filmmaker who insists on provoking conversation earns my respect. I am more interested in what his career says about cinema and power than in tallying wins or losses.
