- 2. The 10 Greatest Indian Film Directors of All Time Indian cinema has seen many great directors — from different regions, from different backgrounds, from different milieu. But when one thinks of Indian cinema, it is the Hindi cinema (“Bollywood”) that first comes to mind. Most Indian film directors are known for their work with one regional industry, while many others are active directors of films from multiple industries. India has many regional film centers, such as Bollywood (Hindi) in Mumbai, Marathi cinema in Pune , Telugu cinema in Hyderabad, Tamil cinema in Chennai, Malayalam cinema in Kochi, Kannada cinema in Bangalore, Odia Cinema in Bhubaneswar, Assamese cinema in Guwahati and Bengali cinema in Kolkata .
- 3. 1. Mani Ratnam One of the most respected and widely admired filmmakers in recent history, Mani Ratnam has carved a niche for himself in the annals of Indian cinema. At a time when Indian commercial cinema was going through a rut, Mani Ratnam gave us a new lease of life, masterfully intertwining socio-political commentary within a commercially viable package, without ever compromising his artistic integrity. And while his foray into filmmaking began in 1983, it wasn’t until the 1987 cult classic ‘Nayakan’, that Ratnam reached the zenith of his talents. He followed that up with masterful portrayal of human relationships amidst turmoil and unrest with his “Political Trilogy”, ‘Roja’, ‘Bombay’ and ‘Dil Se’; while also giving us the musical genius that is AR Rahman. A recurring motif that runs through most of Ratnam’s films is his fascination with idealism and its erosion over time. Sure, some of his recent work hasn’t measured up to his finest films, but nobody can deny Ratnam’s contribution to his craft, and that makes him an automatic entrant in this list.

- 6. 4.Anurag Kashyap The enfant terrible of Indian cinema, Anurag Kashyap has been the catalyst which proved instrumental in ushering in a new generation of bold and unflinchingly honest filmmakers. Right from his first feature ‘Black Friday’ (his actual debut as a director was in ‘Paanch’, which is still unreleased), Kashyap has brought forth an uncanny freshness to Bollywood. He has an eye for the dark underbelly of the society we live in, often portraying weird characters deeply entrenched in reality. Each of his films deal with complex ideas, while leaving behind a commentary on the contemporary world. But it was his ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ that finally catapulted into being one the most influential contemporary directors.

- 7. 5.Yash Chopra Yash Chopra is known as the “king of romances”, but strangely enough his best films aren’t romances. Be it ‘Dewaar’, ‘Kaala Paani’, ‘Itefaaq’ or ‘Mashaal’. Even ‘Lamhe’ — that was way ahead of its time and among his finest — can’t be referred to as a romance in the traditional sense. Chopra, like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, wasn’t an auteur, but he reached audiences in a way that only he could. He didn’t influence filmmakers; he influenced filmgoers. And more than the films themselves, it is the scenes and moments in his films that people fondly recall. This shows that not only he had a very good idea of the pulse of his audiences, but also, an immaculate sense of timing. He knew what nerve to touch and when That he also happens to be the most commercially successful director on this list (and, arguably, in the history of Indian cinema) only proves his credibility as the most audience-friendly director to have ever lived.
