film
I'm not making films just to be bold.
believe thinking lahore
I was in Lahore before the partition, so I don't believe that a border can truly separate Punjab. I still think of it as one.
ambition college one-day
When I was in college, I had only one ambition that one day I would like to be a director.
passion office able
I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.
film humans human-relations
I don't make romantic films. I make films about human relationships.
two cinema type
There are only two types of cinema - good or bad.
writing giving feelings
My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn't have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I'm a technician too. I wouldn't be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn't write it well, and the cameraman didn't shoot it well.
believe optimistic home
I always believe that my films should give some hope to the man who comes to watch them for those three hours. If he goes home on an optimistic note, I would feel satisfied at having done my duty.
thinking mumbai
Mumbai's infectious. Once you start living in Mumbai, working in Mumbai, I don't think you can live anywhere else.
