The Movies I Loved Growing Up
The Paathshala director lists his choices ufffd
Sholay: When I was a child, I lived in a small town where films would release a few months late. The LP records would have come out by then. That was how it was with Sholay. The LPs were played in Ganesh pandals before the release. By the time I saw the film in the theatre, I knew the dialogues by heart. I had to travel to another city to watch it. It was like a pilgrimage.
Pyaasa: When I was in school and in college, I used to avoid weepy films. But once, during a Ganpati festival, I saw Pyaasa. I was deeply moved and realised how satisfying it is to watch an emotional film and cry.

Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro: I remember watching it and laughing throughout. But there was this man next to me in the theatre who did not laugh even once during the film. Till date, I wonder what kind of a comedy I could make that would make that man laugh!
Mughal-e-Azam: I had heard a lot about it, but I had not got an opportunity to watch it as it was not released in my city. I had already watched Ben Hur and I believed it is impossible to make a historical film of such standards in India. But when I watched Mughal-e-Azam, I was spellbound. I still wonder if we can ever recreate its magic.
Stalker: My introduction to world cinema. I saw it on a late-night show on Doordarshan. I was tired and sleepy, but the poetic images, philosophical dialogues and intense expressions of actors compelled me to watch the entire film till the wee hours.
