Words matter. These are the best Madhur Bhandarkar Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
My inherent belief is that motherhood is pious, and I am humbled by it.
There’s nothing like simple spicy egg bhurji.
I think as a filmmaker one should make all kinds of films. It is not that one should make only one kind of film. I love to see romantic films; I loved watching ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,’ ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’ If I make such films, I will make it with my yardstick, according to my parameters.
I’m a terrific mimic, and you can feel my funny bone.
I am a very spiritual person and love travelling to religious places. I go to the Golden Temple, Tirupati Balaji and Vaishno Devi every year.
I love Indian food, and my favourite dish is dal rice.
I am an emotional and fragile person. I observe life, I am perceptive and can read a person’s body language. I have a strong journalistic streak in me, and had I not been a filmmaker, I would have become a film journalist. I have combined my perceptive and journalistic traits to create my own brand of cinema.
In all my movies, be it ‘Page 3’, ‘Chandni Bar’ or ‘Corporate,’ I have tried to depict honesty and reality.
Films are meant solely to provide entertainment. There are no lessons to be learnt and and inferences to be drawn. Has anyone become dutiful and law abiding after seeing a film that espouses these very virtues? Films can do no more than influence fashion, decor, and hairstyle trends.
As I had visualized, ‘Heroine’ is shaping up to be a very contemporary film with a different premise and strata. This film, like most of my other films, is a blend of facts and fiction. The film has a larger span, more characters, and costumes… a journey that revolves around an actress’s life and the showbiz.
I like to leave a film open-ended, with a lingering feeling. I’ll not do sequels of any of my films till I have subjects to explore.
My beliefs encompass all religions. But I never show my religious inclination in my films. My characters have dark sides; they aren’t the god-fearing characters. It wasn’t a conscious decision. I’m a very lazy and emotional person who connects with the common man.
My entire career stands on the strong pillars of women-oriented films. This stems from the fact that I am sensitive to the entire aura and mystique of a woman and womanhood.
I think ‘Heroine’ was Kareena Kapoor’s best ever role of her career.
I got to make ‘Trishakti’ with Arshad Warsi, who was a newcomer at that time. The movie took three years to complete and became dated by the time it was released. The movie did not even get a proper release and bombed at the box office. It was a very bad patch of my life and a big disaster for my career.
I’m not into replicating old movies. But one should never say never. Tomorrow I may feel like making a part 2 of some of my movies.
I have no regret about making ‘Heroine’; rather, I am happy I made it. I never shun my films; I stick to it.
I don’t want to make ‘Chandni Bar 2.’ I didn’t think ‘Fashion 2’ will happen. If a film ends on a high note… makes the audience think and lingers in the end… that is needed.
Whenever I come to Delhi, I forget about eating right and watching my weight.
My father was an electrical contractor, while I used to deliver video cassettes on a cycle to people in Juhu and Bandra, including celebrities like Mithun Chakraborty. Mithunda remembers me and is very proud of me. He can’t believe that the guy who used to come to his house in short pants has become so successful.
