Blind Item: Guess Who?

AS tipplers scamper about town in their singleminded pursuit of single malt, here’s one filmmaker who has had a windfall in his bar cabinet. The auteur had become the toast of town ever since his last black comedy turned out to be a breakthrough blockbuster. Also a man who swears by his Scotch, he has received a couple of bottles from two producers keen on backing his forthcoming projects. And since the director routinely sticks to his two large pegs, he’s hoping this updated stash would sail him through the lockdown.

Pretty sure. Auteur would generally mean he has quite a few signature films, not really a newbie. And Andhadhun is the only black comedy which had blockbuster success in recent years. Has to be him. Now someone has to find out his favourite drink 😆

Haha. I thought auteur was author in French!

Hmm.. I wouldn't label Andhadhun as a comedy though 🤔

All blinds nowadays are about the secret stash

It can be Dream Girl director Raaj Shandilya, he is pretty influential.

Well it is but in Film lingo it refers to directors who have a specific style to their filmmaking and the kind of stories they like to tell, usually with darker subjects and social realism, often associated with parallel and new wave cinemas in countries.

Why do we even need a blind to know of ppl's stacked bar? 🤔 Ainvayi.

1. it actually means a film director who influences their films so much that they rank as their author.
