There are lots of them, but listing a few eminent ones who has been hyped up and have brainwashed the world to beleive that they symbolise the face of mainstream bollywood.
1) Karan Johar:
Tops the list.I just cant stand his movies as simple as that.He is a shame and big disgrace on the present generation .But all his movies click bigtime, thats what surprises me, so cant really blame him. Dont shoot the message, shoot the messenger, to tackle the menance permanently.
2) Sanjay Bhansali:
Guys wake up , jago, let the riot of colours dont blind you.He just makes movies with extravagant sets , spending millions and try to captivate the audience with the opluent settings, thats it.HDDCS was an utter trash, so was Devadas , but full marks to the costumes, songs and other frills , which fools the audience to make him beleive as a great director, wherein the actual credit should go to his set director, choreorgapher etc but not to the director .My biggest grouse is when HDDCS pipped Satya at the Filmfare awards , lynch the panel who adjudicates these awards.
3)Subash Ghai:
One or two fluke hit movies does not make a director great.95% of his movies are trash, and mindless, with the oscar to Yaddien and life time acheivement award to Trimurti. These are cash strapped famous directors who can afford to spend lavishly , sadly they dont make use of the resources at their disposal.
4) Adity Chopra: I bracket this fellow with Johar.These are the guys who harp on their background .All these guys should be convicted criminally for squandering millions .
5) Rajkumar Santoshi :
Not the worst , but definitely defintitely not the great as he is heralded.Except for Ghayal none of his movies are worth any mention to tag him as a great, as it is made to beleive.
I think this is enough, the list is never ending.
