Hello,

There have been lot of filmmakers and directors who carry a lot of weight and muscle in bollywood. Every time they announce a film that becomes a headline. However, in my opinion they are highly overrated and most of their movies are not up to the mark. Examples?

J.P. Dutta

Hathyar (Dharmendar, Rishi Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Amrita Singh)
Border (It was factually inaccurate. The battle that was depicted in the movie it did take place, but the number of Indian casualties was highly exaggerated and inflated).
Umrao Jaan (Abhshek Bacha, Asihwariya Rai, Suniel Shetty)
Refugee (Abhishek Bachan, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Kareena Kapoor)
LOC

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Saawariya
Black

Ram Gopal Varma

He used to be my favorite filmmaker, but he went cuckoo after tasting success.

Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag
Bhoot
James
Rakht Chatra 1 & 2

Karan Johar

The less I talk about this guy better.

Thoughts will be appreciated!!!

Feel free to vote for other and discuss!!!

I have voted for Mr. Dutta!!!

I voted RGV... I dunno about overrated but I know he disappointed me big time with some of his recent horrors

Bhoot and Phoonk I liked but then he followed them up with the most tacky low budget horror crapfest I've ever seen known as Bhoot Returns which was almost as disastrous as Phoonk 2 :help:

He also made another lovely horror known as Agyaat featuring an hour and a half of some unknown monster chasing these people around in a forest and before we can find out who or what it is the movie ends on a cliffhanger... stay tuned for Agyaat 2 :mad:

Four years later and I'm still waiting for this Agyaat 2 to find out what was chasing those fools in the forest :huh:

Voted for Karan. He may better than Dutta and Varma, but they are nowhere on the level of appraisal as he is - undeservingly. SLB is not overrated in my opinion. ONe of the greatest story tellers out there, regardless of his huge EGO and belief in his own superiority. He, Raj Kapoor, Raju Hirani and Guru Dutt are my fav directors.

JP Dutta? Seriously?

I would have not voted in this list but I do find SLB extremly overrated. None of his so called classics like Khamoshi, HDDCS and Devdas have been in my taste HDDCS was decent the other two very boring.. All three films extremely overrated.. I don't care about Saawariya to be honest. Black is his only film that I really liked.

His films don't have any relevance.

Border and Refugee were a joke.

Hathyaar is a horrible mafia wanna be film

And Khastariya?

That movie was a piece of trash.

RGV had sparks of brilliance until early 2000's...now he's just crazy making all sorts of trashy films.I dont think he can make satya type of films anymore.SLB was mediocre & unoriginal from the get go but somehow managed to get critical acclaim.KJo as well..very limited in the kind of stories he can tell.

JP Dutta...never cared for his films except may be refugee.
