A good director is one who makes a movie, which will keep you from falling asleep. Well …….. ,not really. Yes, I need my Zs but not that badly, and definitely not when I’m watching a movie. Although, to look at some Hindi films, you’d think that’s what the director was aiming for – my health. “Ah,” he\/she thinks, “Let’s give the poor hardworking sod\/female sod some well-earned sleep-time.” The movie had better keep you awake (at a minimum) and entertained, and engrossed, and enchanted, and ……… you get the picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
So, nowdays when I look for a good Hindi movie, I look for the director’s name. If it is any of the below, you’re generally guaranteed a good film (although there are exceptions). OK then, here’s a list of directors who are making some of the good stuff, the stuff which keeps you wide awake, way past your you-know-what.<\/div>\n
