The Power of Three Gauri Shinde, Nitesh Tiwari, Sujoy Ghosh

Close of the year. Closest to how big it gets in Bollywood. The last act of a play, they say, overrides everything you’ve seen before. So here it is, Indian Cinema rolling out in all its glory the most beauteous bouquet —Shah Rukh Khan as the grown-up guide to Alia Bhatt in Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi [Alice Munro would be pleased?], Sujoy Ghosh creating a Durga not with 10 hands but with a mother’s heart in Kahaani 2, and Nitesh Tiwari taking leaps and bounds from his maiden Chillar Party to the million-dollar play field that’s Dangal. Bollywood saving the best for last; each of the three finish-liners setting their own tone—some breezy and some brutal. We speak to these filmmakers to give you a glimpse of what it means to be up for a truly grand finale.
