Filmmaker Siddharth Anand has established himself as a filmmaker par excellence with numerous box office successes ranging from hits to all-time blockbusters under his belt. After gaining recognition with 'Hum Tum,' Siddharth Anand established himself in Bollywood's romantic comedy genre with his directorial debut 'Salaam Namaste' (2005), followed by 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' (2007), 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' (2008), and 'Anjaana Anjaani' (2010). On the filmmaker's birthday, let's decode Anand's filmmaking spectacles from rom-coms to action blockbusters.

Anand's transition to action happened with 'Bang Bang!' (2014), which grossed ₹333 crore, proving himself to be a box office mastermind. Bang Bang's success paved the way for 'War' (2019) which went on to solidify his status in the industry with critics and audience waiting with bated breath for his next move. No one had even imagined that his next post 'War' would be 'Pathaan', which took the box office by storm! While 'War' minted ₹475.62 crore and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019, 'Pathaan' (2023) grossed over ₹1,050 crore globally, ranking among the highest-grossing Indian films ever made.

Beyond helming super-hits, Siddharth stepped into production of movies with Producer Mamta Anand. Together, Mamta and Siddharth Anand started Marflix Pictures, whose maiden film production, the high-octane action thriller, 'Fighter' went on to be a commercial success grossing over ₹360 crore, retained as the highest grossing Hindi film of 2024. The filmmaker has earned a reputation of churning out exceptional action films with the recent flair in aerial action with 2024's Fighter.

The move to production along with Producer Mamta Anand also highlighted the filmmakers adaptability and risk-taking capabilities, making them one of Bollywood's most innovative directors and producers.
