VISHAL & BARDWAJ

Okay, that typo and a desperate pun notwithstanding which will have the showman squirm no end, I declare my love yet again for this wonder.
Where the hell was he all this while? Why did it have to be a 2001/2002 for him to bloom on 70mm?
What does he have for his breakfast that the bollywood kitchens seem to be out of stock of ?

He is the one I am going to watch out for for the next 10-15 years, and I am sure each of his nuggets shall slowly but surely finds its way to my DVD collection.

What a man!

Will he along with Farhan Akhtar, Ashutosh Gowariker, Anurag Kashyap, Rajkumar Hirani, Nagesh Kukunoor, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra form the cream that has honest cinematic blood flowing in its arteries? and to digress a little, why the hell cant I have more of one Mr.Vidhu Vinod Chopra? No one should have any problems if these guys are too happy counting their green bills and in the process have our movie watching sensibilities twisted and tweaked. It would be a pleasure being aboard their vehicles leading us into the worlds of disbelief and pure joy.

Has it meant the show is all over for the pretentious scums who seem to have infested the cinematic space robbing us of the pure magic that cinema was all and should be about?
