His penchant for long dialogues between the characters could be compared to modern film luminaries like Abbas Kiarostami and Richard Linklater but unlike them, his films are largely set indoors, in dim, natural lighting, which plays right into the narrative.

With that said, here’s the list of the greatest and best Indian directors - that we arrived upon after vetting more than 200 well-known names. Hopefully, we see this trend change in near future. It does bother us to not see any women representation in the list, but that’s more because of the fact that Indian film industry hasn’t been as kind to female directors as it has been to male directors. And even though we considered respected names like Deepa Mehta and Meera Nair for the list, unfortunately, they couldn’t make it to top 20. Another important point to note here is that all twenty names are men.
