I still remember when I left the cinema after watching Dil Chahta Hai. I thought finally we have a filmmaker who is smart, progressive and will take Bollywood to a new era of cinema.
Fast-forward 15 years and I came out of the cinema after watching a shower or shit called Rock On 2 and I can't believe this is the same person.
I know he didn't direct this but he did produce it and worked on the screenplay. To call appalling would be an understatement.
What happened to him?
Lakshya - a decent effort and I like he tried his hand at something different but it was mediocre at best.
Don/Don2 - Worked at the box office but wasn't a patch on the original.
He really needs to get back to directing. I get the feeling he's become to obsessed about being an actor/star that he's lost sight what he should be doing.
Its a shame because I did have high hopes for him and thought he was the one to look out for. I guess being sucked into the world of Bollywood makes even those that think outside of the box, sheep.
