11 Most overrated Indian filmmakers of all time

11 Most overrated Indian filmmakers of all time
Share on FacebookShare on X

Overrated Indian filmmakers: Indian cinema has produced numerous talented filmmakers who have left an indelible mark on the industry. However, not every acclaimed director has lived up to the hype. Despite their fame and accolades, some filmmakers have been deemed overrated due to various reasons, ranging from repetitive storytelling to lack of innovation. Let’s delve into 11 such overrated Indian filmmakers who, despite their popularity, don’t deserve the level of attention they have acquired:

11 Overrated Indian filmmakers of ALL TIME

Karan Johar:

Imagine the list which Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rajkumar Hirani missed by a few inches. But that’s not something to be proud of. For all his clout, Karan Johar as a director, is yet to produce one movie, literally one movie that makes us feel that he is worth the clout he created. Going by the initial looks of Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahani, one doesn’t feel convinced either.

overrated Indian filmmakers

Prabhu Deva:

Prabhu Deva may be a successful choreographer, a brilliant dancer, even a decent actor to some extent, but a good director? Hell no! He is mostly known for regurgitating Southern classics. Save exceptions like Wanted, Nuvvostanante Nenoddanatana, he has mostly produced duds, including disasters like Action Jackson, Wanted 3. Now that’s not a very good list, eh?

Siddharth Anand:

If there was an Olympics for mediocrity, this guy would have won the gold medal hands down. Siddharth Anand, as a director, is considered overrated due to his reliance on predictable storylines and lack of creative storytelling. Despite achieving commercial success, his films often lack depth and fail to leave a lasting impact on audiences, raising questions about the level of fame he receives in comparison to his filmmaking capabilities. Thanks to the manipulated ‘success’ of “Pathaan”, this man is unfortunately getting more accolades than he actually deserves.

Mohit Suri:

Mohit Suri is probably a living embodiment of “You had one job and you got that wrong!” Barring the likes of Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, most of his movies are either adaptations of American or Korean movies, or simply an extension of the never-ending biopic saga of Mahesh Bhatt. His real talent comes out in films like “Half Girlfriend” and “Ek Villain Returns”, where to put it simply, he messes it up!

overrated Indian filmmakers

Mani Ratnam:

Unless you have your offendometers exploding, Mani Ratnam is not the masterclass director he is claimed to be. If you want live demonstrations of “Das Kapital”, Comrade Mani Ratnam is your go to guy. Except for “Guru”, and to some extent, “Nayakan” and “Dil Se”, Mani Ratnam hasn’t made any film that is unputdownable.

Sajid Khan:

Sajid Khan is deemed overrated as a director due to his repetitive and formulaic approach to filmmaking. His films often rely on crass humor and lack meaningful content, failing to resonate with discerning audiences. Despite commercial success, his movies are criticized for lacking creativity and originality, questioning the level of fame he receives as a filmmaker.

Farhad Samji:

This man is single handedly responsible for ruining the rare gem that was Indian comedy. For those having grown up on films like “Hera Pheri”, “Hungama”, “Maalaamal Weekly”, “Golmaal”, Farhad Samji and his brand of comedy is nothing less than sacrilege. Except for the likes of Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn, Farhad Samji has the unique knack of ‘destroying’ the career of every Bollywood star he works with, Salman Khan being the latest casualty.

Farah Khan:

If Sajid Khan is the epitomy of cringe, his sister Farah is no better either. With films like “Main Hoon Na” and “Om Shanti Om”, Farah was definitely making a mark for herself in entertaining, if not creative films. However, post “Tees Maar Khan”, things went only downhill for her.

Indra Kumar:

Anything in excess is bad, and for Indra Kumar, his penchant for repeating a success model unto death is absolutely detestable. Indra Kumar is considered overrated as a director for his mediocre films that lack depth and rely on clichés. Despite initial success, his recent works have been criticized for lacking innovation and failing to engage audiences. The level of fame he receives doesn’t necessarily match the quality of his filmmaking.

Zoya Akhtar:

If Farah Khan was slightly intellectual, with some dose of Karan Johar in her filmmaking, that would be the actual description of Zoya Akhtar. Like Farah, she made a noticeable debut with “Luck By Chance” and “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”. However, after that, she did what Indian liberals are well known for: throw logic and common sense out of the window!

Boyapati Srinu:

If you have ever trolled the Southern films, especially the Telugu flicks for their over-the-top action, this man is behind the same. Loud BGM, gravity defying stunts, you name it and this man has it all. However, that’s it, and this guy has never diversified AT ALL!

As the Indian film industry evolves, it is essential to recognize and celebrate the works of filmmakers who bring fresh perspectives, innovative storytelling, and meaningful content to the forefront. True cinematic greatness lies not just in popularity but in the ability to captivate audiences with thought-provoking narratives and visionary direction, leaving a lasting impact on cinema and society.
