Whenever I come to Delhi, I forget about eating right and watching my weight. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
I pick my actors primarily based on my gut-feel. They could be rank newcomers or established stars, but if I feel they’ll do justice to my characters, they are on. I think Bollywood is now looking towards Kollywood for new faces, and, to my mind, Suriya will be a very successful crossover star because he’s very versatile. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
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. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
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. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
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. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
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. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
Indian cinema is no more limited to audiences in India. We have viewers all around the world, and hence, understanding the global perspective is a must. Cinema Beyond Boundaries would get the viewers and the filmmakers together and would help us in serving them with good quality cinema. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
In all my movies, be it ‘Page 3’, ‘Chandni Bar’ or ‘Corporate,’ I have tried to depict honesty and reality. Madhur Bhandarkar Read Quote
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.
