In today’s Bollywood, the filmmakers definitely cannot take filmmaking that lightly. No more can they just play with the regular clichés in the films.While the filmmakers are experimenting different styles, the audiences are being served with a potpourri of eclectic films to tickle their fancy.

After directing the run-off-the-mill films like Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Bachna Ae Haseeno, director Siddharth Anand has experimented with just two characters in his latest venture Anjana Anjani. The story of the film is not radical, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table, however, director Anand’s experiment doesn’t go to waste in terms of presentation.

By featuring Salman Khan in Dabangg, Kashyap, who was assistant director of Yuva, scores brownie points.
