Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has done it all, from writing film scripts to producing films, acting and directing them too. He has certainly made his mark in the Indian Cinema through his unconventional and unique stories. Let's take a look at his cinematic excellence which paved way for a new genre in Indian Cinema.
1. Dev D
This film, actually a modern day interpretation of the Bengali classic 'Devdas', received widespread acclaim because of the narrative structure, the visual styles used and the experimental soundtrack.
2. No Smoking
Though the film sanked at the Box Office, Anurag Kashyap once stated that No Smoking was his favourite of all his films. The film is rated as one of the most abstract stories and Anurag left it on the viewers to interpret. The movie is actually a motivation for all young filmmakers.
3. Gulaal
This thriller-drama beautifully explored themes such as hypocrisy of the powerful, injustice as perceived and also pursuit of power. It is certainly one of Bollywood's best films on political drama. If you still haven't watch it, do so as it is a compelling watch.
4. Gangs of Wasseypur
This crime film, centred around the coal mafia of Dhanbad and the politics and vengeance involved made it big world over. Everyone just went gaga over his work. Of course, after the release of Gangs of Wasseypur, Nawazuddin Siddiqui turned into a star, over night!!!
5. Black Friday
Who could have done justice to such a film, if not Anurag! The song 'Bandeh' from the film became immensely popular in no time.
6. Shaitan
The contemporary, thrilling and hard-hitting content sure raised many eyebrows.
