manepali dude, kamoshi might have been a dud at the box office but was full of praises by the critics.. hum dil de.... despite its long name was a big hit .. won awards.. critically praised..the way he used colors to dipict Gujrati culture..in my opinion, the ending was typical but i disagree with u.. overall it was above average..Miracle worker was a 1962 pic by arthur penn (bonnie and clyde fame) not 1997. can't say much about devdas except, again, it was well received by mass and the critics.. again Miracle worker was based on a TRUE STORY.. on Hellen Keller and Annie Sullivan.. it is a well known fact that bansali was inspired by Hellen Keller's story when he visited Keller institue.. his film is based on a gujrati play that was inspired by the miracle worket, which in return is based on true events judging by your few comments, i don't think u know much about camera angles.. or shots..you are firing bullets in the darkness..the fact, you used two different criteria (hit/flop) to justify your arguement (bansali is average) speaks volumes of your naivety. this guy makes one film at a time tells that he is not a sell out and is a serious artist.. which indian director would take a cast of salman khan, manisha (at her prime), nana among others and make a film on mute and deff? that is a risk few would take.. even if he copied miracle worker frame to frame, he still is a good one.. would hire him anytime over bomb throwers like our friend, manepali yes, nepali kancha, malae dherai furshad cha.. you can continue to be busy!!!!
