I like to put the common man's perspective into all my movies: Madhur Bhandarkar

For someone who started by renting out video-cassettes to winning three National Awards, realistic filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has come a long way. After hogging the limelight with his first heart-wrenching portray of bar dancers in Chandni Bar. What followed in quick succession was a series of realistic films, Page 3, Corporate, Traffic and Fashion. For once, audience and critics alike are in agreement about the brilliance of his ‘reality’ films. In an exclusive interview with BIGOYE Madhur talks about his realistic approach and experimental films…

Why do you keep making only hard-hitting, reality films?

“Well that’s my genre. I like to put the common man’s perspective into all my movies, be it Chandni Bar, Satta, Page 3, Corporate, Traffic Signal or Fashion – In all my films, it’s the characters that stands out, rather than the actor. I don’t sell my stars, but my concepts.”

“I would call it issue-based and self-awakening films. I’m an experimental filmmaker who is always on the look out and explore things. I intend to go where no filmmakers have ever gone before.”

But you have turned producer with Fashion and now Jail?

“There must have been some issues during the making of some of my earlier films like Page 3. And now, I don’t think anyone complain about Fashion and now even Jail. My actors, other cast and crew are always happy with me.”

Certain sections of the Fashion world aren’t too happy with the way you took liberty in Fashion?

get is my audiences.”

Looking back are you happy with the way Fashion turned out to be?

“No, I think I should have explored it more technically. I should have paid more attention to the technical part of the Fashion world.”
