Padmaavat: From Devdas to Bajirao Mastani, Bhansali’s filmography ranked from worst to best
in a career spanning over two decades and eight films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has wowed audiences and disconnected from them in equal measure, even as his films have only gotten progressively bigger in vision and scale. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam This is possibly the film that changed Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s career. Even today Ravi K Chandran’s iconic cinematography in the film stands tall like a beacon of visual magic for Hindi cinema. However, Black does suffer from that seemingly recurring Bhansali problem – it hasn’t aged as well as you’d expect, because Hindi cinema’s standards for emotional manipulation have evolved significantly in the last decade. Despite being set in a time when contemporary standards of gender discourse couldn’t be applied, Bhansali essentially made a feminist film, without explicitly taking the time to call it that.
