He is a loser, his films are for losers, only sad and depressing, over that he is a big copycat. My shrap will make sure this film bombs.
He is the most overrated director I think. He is actually a very ordinary director, who likes to give a visual treat to the audience. But even in that, he is not the best in India. I dont know what he is good at, finally. And I dont know why he is rated so high in Bollywood.

Why? When rediff fills 80% of it's space with news for ROBOT, what would you call that? Lungi Journalism? You think only Lungistan monopilisies Art or what? Don't just get going cause you want to.
An artist is an artist always. Ten times times, he'll sketch his idea & discard it. But the eleventh time, he'll come up with a masterpiece. Sanjay leela Bhansali has had his nadirs & heyday too. no doubt, he's one of India's most talented directors.

Pat,
I do have doubt that Mr.Bansali is a talented director. Yes, he is a talented choreographer but not a talented director. Please do not confuse stunning visuals and imagery with direction. All his movies were well choreographed but poorly directed. The reason why I criticise his direction, is the imbalance thats shown in his movies. The visuals get more precendence than the temp of the movie. Just shows where his priorities and talent lies. That said, on any day I will watch his choerography, especially all the songs in 1942 - Alove story and all his movies.

In what way is he a talented director? He is pretty ordinary. This article says he is a genius in giving a visual treat. Can he hold light to any of director Sankar's movies in Tamil in giving a visual treat? And I am not a Tamilian, am just comparing. Giving a visual treat is a work of the Art Director, the cameraman, and the deep pockets of the producer. Give other directors the same, am sure most can deliver like him.

U obviously are a northie who gets offended even when not offended, so people like u dont even have manners to have a decent debate.Bhaiyas like u have spoiled bollywoods taste and image as a place for uneducated industry, if ur uneducated and do not have work, join bollywood.
HDDCS story was a true carbon copy from Bengali/French Novel. Both of the novels are based on true stories based on the love affair of Maitrayee Devi (Bengali) and Mircha Iliyad (French). Mircha came to India to learn Indian culture/music etc. in Shantiniketan, where he met this lady. Mircha (played by Salman) left India and after long years when Maitreyi Devi is older, her wise husband suggested and allowed her to visit France to find his lost love. The Bengali novel written by the lady is called 'NA HANYATE' and the French novel written by Mircha is called "NA LUI BENGALI". Many scenes including where Aish chews the green peppers to have tears, and thier secret meeeting in library, etc. are carbon copied. Okk. Now the irony is the movie doesn't even bother to give a smallest credit to these novels. Pity.

HDDCS was completely inspired by Maniratnam's Mouna Ragam which had Mohan, Revathi and Karthik. but the treatment by Mani was so heart touching and Ilayaraja's music was just the icing on that fantastic cake :-)

carbon copy eh?....a story is not the film....to turn text into film is an elaborate and unique process in itself...the film may hooks or have sources from many books or films etc. but visualization and structuring cannot be carbon copied.

Even those are carbon copied by Bollywood, Kunal. A lot of Malayalam films had been lifted just like that by Bollywood. Its after Priyadarsan came to Bollywood that others stopped lifting, because he became a strong part of Bollywood and began remaking his Malayalam movies, and thus opening up the knowledge that many Malayalam movies have already been remade in Hindi, without giving due credit to the originals. But now the media is knowledgeable, and someone points out everytime.

when we have people defending plagiarism and unacknowledgement of original sources abound, these filmmakers continue to steal!
Stars like Anil Kapoor and directors like David Dhawan, Anees Bazmi, Satish Kaushik etc. owe their career to dozens of directors/ writers from Tamil and Telugu industries who never got credit, even for frame-by-frame copies. The only way to counter this is through lawsuits. But, the copyright laws in India can never help the victims.

Agreed. However, please read Rajani's last line. What stops from giving credit where its due?
