Kashyap was that Hyena, who eventually stopped expressing, prisoning his thoughts to conform. However, this article isn’t about how an outsider broke into this world but of how their ideas dig into psychology, less touched issues, ground, grimy realities, bringing out a whole new aura of Cinema to the streets of India that fed on content, mostly revolving around the clichéd ‘boy meets girl’ or plots glorifying stalking or harassment in the guise of love.įor a person whose childhood ideas would revolve around taboo-ed issues and would be shunned for his defiance in these ideas of his, like a hyena amidst a bunch of deers, he is bound to feel outcasted, misjudged, to a point that they start doubting their self. When directors like Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, among many, stepped into this prejudiced city, with their path-breaking styles and stories, enlightened hope for every outsider. For an ‘outsider’ to sneak in this industry that works on the name and fame of a few, in itself, is not only a leap of defiance of the mainstream but a loud statement. Rightly so Īt a time when a few big names sat on the throne of the Bollywood ‘industry’ when more than content, mattered commercial success and the number of seats filled in the theatre, there was one man who understood the significance of defiance over jumping onto the bandwagon of money and glamour that’d show itself off with the same repetitive plotline with a few touches and nudges.
“A film is a petrified fountain of thoughts”Īnd for some reason, the first film that hit me was Gangs of Wasseypur and the man behind it, Anurag Kashyap. Toppling through random articles on Medium, aggressive tweets around Twitter, amateur reviews on Goodreads, I came across a Jean Cocteau quote.
