Who are your favorite directors? Bollywood or Hollywood or any other wood or television. What do you like about them? What work of theirs do you greatly admire?
I love Anubhav Sinha. I loved the way he tells his stories. Even before he did Mulk, Article 15 or Thappad. I love his concepts and his characters. There is something very natural about them.
I love Zoya Akhter. She tells stories I relate to. I like her attention to details. She adds on these little minor things to her movies that just mean everything to me. I love her subtle ways to add depth and meaning to her characters. I find it such good writing. I also love her aesthetic. I can watch her movies just to visually treat my eyes. I know one of the criticisms she received for Gully boy was that she even made the slums look pretty. I love all her movies.
I love Shoojit Sircar. Half biased because he is Bengali. Sometimes I do wonder whether it is his work I really love or his combination with Juhi. Juhi and Shoojit have created some of the most interesting characters who I love to hate.
In Hollywood I think Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher are freaking outstanding. I think what they do is perfection. Their combined work the Social Network is still one of my most favorite movie till date. I love Sorkin's Trial of the Chicago 7 and of course the West Wing. For Fincher, I love all his movies. Thriller is my favorite genre and I think no one does it better than him.
I love Taika Waititi. His work is so fresh and refreshing. I like his type of whimsical and quirky. Thor Ragnarok and Hunt for the Wilderpeople were two of the funniest movies I watched in last few year.
