There can be many things about cinema.  But, here we are introducing you to such directors of the Hindi film industry, who tried to create a different kind of cinema by moving away from the film formula in their time.  Regardless of what would happen to its ticket window.  Such films have also been criticized by saying how many are to be seen, but these jumlas did not deter their spirits.  It is okay that these films could not do business like mainstream films, but when talking about the identity of Indian cinema, it always got standing in the next line.

 Let's start with Basu Chatterjee.  In the 70s and 80s, when the popular trend of creating cinema on screen was far from reality, Basu Chatterjee made his films a canvas.  Take any of Basu Da's films, his characters will be from middle class family only.  Therefore, these films seem to be their own films to the general audience.

Amol Palekar, the big hero of offbeat films, was a favorite of Basu Da.  His successful films like 'Rajinigandha', 'Baat-Baat Mein', 'Chitchor' and 'Ek Chhoti Baat' were the heroes of Amol.  'Dillagi', a film about Dharmendra and Hema Malini, is still remembered in the best comedy comedy and drama.  Movies like 'Khatta-Meetha' and 'Shaukeen' are a hallmark of how cinema can be made beautiful with a little change.

In Basu Bhattacharya's films, his conclusion towards society is clearly visible.  He made films like 'Anubhav', 'Teesri Kasam' and 'Avishkar'.  The film 'Aastha', which came in 1997, was an indication that he knew cinema ahead of his time.  Basu Bhattacharya, who has been active in films for more than two decades, did many experiments in his film making style.  His films like 'Panchvati', 'Madhumati' and 'Gruh Pravesh' may not have been very successful at the ticket window, but every film definitely appeared discussing one issue.  Basu Bhattacharya's cinema always drew the audience towards the issues.

Offbeat film

----------------

When offbeat films are mentioned, Mani Kaul's name comes up.  Making a film to earn money was neither his motive nor his skill.  Mani Kaul begins her film 'Her Roti'.  This is an indication of how he came into the industry to make films.  Mani Kaul, a student of Rivki Ghatak, made films like 'Dilemma', 'Ghasiram Kotwal', 'Man of the Rise from the Surface', 'A Day of Aashadh', a unique confluence of literature and cinema.

The film making style of Mrinal Sen also had a great impact on Hindi cinema.  He directed more than 30 films, including feature films such as 'Calcutta-71', 'Bhuvan Som', 'Ek Din Diwas' and 'Mrigaya'.  In these films, the image of erstwhile society was seen.  It was a filmmaker's undisclosed accountability towards society.  Mrinal Sen also composed a variety of films like 'Ek Adhuri Kahani', 'Cinemas', 'One Day Suddenly'.  These films were completely different in terms of subject from most of the films being made at that time.

 A craft like that

---------------------

Sai Paranjpe's film Making Style is characterized by its texture and craft.  In his films, background music equals no.  When the viewer is watching movies, he gets fully involved with the characters of the film.  Sai made films like 'Katha', 'Sparsh' and 'Disha' along with making the comedy film Chashme Baddoor.  Every character in his film would make the audience feel part of his own life.  Well!  Discussion on cinema that stands opposite the stream will continue.
