Madhur Bhandarkar is one of those few directors who have looked to deal with sensitive subjects. Right from ‘Chandni Bar' to ‘Satta' to ‘Page 3' and ‘Traffic Signal' all his
films have dealt with issues which have prevailed in the society but have always been ignored not only by the commoners, but by other directors too.
Madhur started his career assisting Ram Gopal Verma and made his directorial debut with ‘Trishakti' in 1999, which unfortunately did not work well at the box office. But
then came ‘Chandi Bar' starring Tabu and Atul Kulkarni and the film won him a national award.
After that there was no stopping Madhur. ‘Satta' (Raveena Tandon), ‘Aan', ‘Page 3', ‘Corporate' and then ‘Traffic Signal' followed one after another. Madhur won the second
national award for ‘Page 3' and all the movies he made had exposed the faults in the system.
Madhur is currently working on his film ‘Fashion' and is toying on the idea of making a film on film awards. This film will deal with what happens behind every award
ceremony and how awards are manipulated.
Yet another bold film Madhur, but will you deal with the National Awards too?
