The rise of Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Another highly talented filmmaker to make the grade in the '90s was Sanjay Leela Bhansali. A onetime assistant to maverick Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Sanjay was very good at filming songs as evidenced in 1942—A Love Story (it's an acknowledged fact that Vinod Chopra never relished filming songs). Sanjay's debut film Khamoshi-The Musical was an eloquent proof of Sanjay'ssensibilities as a director. But the film came a cropper at the turnstiles and shook his faith in good cinema. It took him a while to find a backer for his next film. Thankfully, he lived down the disappointment of his debut film to motivate himself into taking a bigger risk with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam which dared to present a bold new woman who refuses to let marriage come in the way of her passion. The film was a mega hit. And Bhansali was on centre stage overnight.
After making 300-odd ad films, John Matthew Mathan ventured into Hindi cinema with a tightly-scripted political thriller, Sarfarosh (1999), which for the first time named Pakistan's ISI as the enemy agent and lent a touch of realism to an action-oriented mainstream thriller. The Aamir-starrer was a huge hit just as Ghulam (1998) was, further consolidating Aamir's new status as one of the most bankable stars at the box-office.
