Who'll forget the "classique" jo jeeta wohi sikandar... Its scipt, charactors, casting, songs and freshness were absolutely SPOT ON, No. 1.
We've seen what happens when you start concentrating on commerce ONLY while making filmss - All yashraj and ramu films are flopping. Aditya Chopra and RGV are talented but they are making films around a theme, scipting happens much later.
A diector is not machine, churning out movies in a factory one after the other. (We've seen what comes out of RAMU FACTORY). This guy is intelligent & sensetive - we gotto wait for him to be motivated by something. He'll be back with some FANTASTIC STUFF SURELY.
ALL THE BEST MANSOOR.
By the way farming is not such a bad profession if managed well - its tax free and every five years your loans are written off - unlike movies where evry new poject is demanding

JJWS was copied from "Breaking Away", a hit film in late 1970s that won an oscar for best supporting actress. It was one of Dennis Quaid's first movies.

Had an opportunity to visit Acres Wild (Mr Mansoor's Cheese Farm) in Coonor. Mr Khan conducted us & gave an excellent brief on how he is running the farm. His passion & devotion towards his cause is evident, and the cheese simply yummy n' World class like his films.
No doubt he is 1 of the best directors whose movies i hav ever seen, I was very small when i saw QSQT but a little grown up when I saw JJWS. BUT Akele Hum Akele Tum,,,, I was a bit older & this movie is infact d 1st & one of those very few movies that have made me think & CRY ... The movie, although didnt do well, But was simply gr8 !!!! hats off Mansoor bhai !!!!
& happy Birthday In Advance !!!! (Hope Rediff forwards this to him) r_hanspal@rediffmail.com
It's Mansoor's Birthday on 29th May. Let's send him our good wishes. I am glad that there are people like him who would rather follow their hearts and give up the glamour for farming...Keep the heart and the spirit.
Mansoor Khan is one of the greatest directors Bollywood have. Mansoor Khan made not only Aamir a big star but others also like, Farah Khan,Udit Narayan,Anand-Milind,Juhi chawla, etc.

Some moments were funny agreed but it was not a HIT film. Many people slept in the theartres!

A film is hit or not depending on earnings not on people calling themselves DP (deep sh*t?). AND OSO WAS A MEGA HIT.
i belive tht mk is one of the most talented n sencible film director in bollywood, his all films were very gud infact in all means,he must come back n start a moovie in his own way
