ARR has done small movies for Deepa Mehta, so it is not that he is not associated with small time director. He was there with her right from her very first Fire when no one has heard her name. And after that first movie of ROP Mehra had flopped in the worst way, critically as well as commercially, even then ARR did RDB for him, so it is not that he avoids producers directors of failed films. And when ROP Mehra had shown his abilities in RDB to give a hit, then it is not an issue that D6 failed. btw, as per your line of thinking, I feel that you are mentioning good movies from new directors, or small budget movies, but there had been enough junk pelted out by such new directors also and in small budget films also. So, deciding to work with every new director and every small budget movie is not going to be feasible. You mention Aamir. Where was music in it? Where at all was the situation for music it? Why should ARR have done it. The movie was no way a hit also, and was more like a hollywood sort of movie with a drastically different storyline. the end was hopeless so that also puts a question mark on director's capabilities then why should ARR have done it. Similarly for Gulaal and Dev D, I think Anurag Kashyap still have a lot to learn. he starts good but gets confused en route and ending movie is not really a classic. several people liked Dev D as it has some surprise elements, but I personally find it utterly confusing, and I consider it a shame that it is clubbed with the name of classic Devdas. Devdas novel and earlier film had a panoramic vision of life of that day and time, but Dev D couldn't give the complex panoramic view of today's life. Gulaal movie also leaves a lot to be desired, there were several loose ends in it. The music became a hit on its own strength, but the treatment of songs was no way a visionary. 3 great songs filmed end to end at the end, including one at the end credits which didn't even have visuals, that is not the good treatment we can expect for our man's songs. As for Gulaal, I am very much happy with its music, and Piyush Mishra had become a new find of bollywood, so I am happy that ARR didn't do it so Piyush got an opportunity. :-) see, it cuts both ways. ha ha ha. -- Rawat > There is a revolution happening in India with these Indie type of movies > in India - there have been some fantastic movies over the past few years > - Khosla ka Ghosla, Johnny Gaddar, Aamir, Dev D, Gulaal, Wake Up Sid to > name a few.
