Best Director of Bollywood

By caabdul created 29 Jan 2013 last updated - 6 days ago

UPDATE: Now showing 25 Directors

After a detailed analysis of all my Indian movies ratings that I have ever rated, I have made up this list listing my 10 best directors from Bollywood, throughout any time. My Ranking and analysis points (Bollywood & World wide) for each Director are also mentioned.

Directors with most recent work are given few extra points. LIST WILL BE UPDATED ROUGHLY EVERY MONTH.

CHECK ALSO;

I appreciate for your time to post comments. There may be some directors which are not in the list only because I have not seen much of their work. Conversely there may be directors who don't deserve to be in the list only because I have not yet seen their bad works. If you think some Guru is missing, you may mention some of their best work so that I may consider it for my list. Thanks to all.
