The Jury
Outlook asked 25 leading Indian film directors to draw up their personal lists
of the 10 best Hindi films of independent India. They are (in alphabetical order):
Anil Sharma Anurag Kashyap Aparna Sen Farhan Akhtar Gautam Ghose Govind Nihalani John Mathew Mathan
Karan Johar Kundan Shah Madhur Bhandarkar Mrinal Sen N. Chandra Rajiv Menon Rakesh Roshan Ramesh Sippy Sanjay
Chhel Sanjay Leela Bhansali Santosh Sivan Shakti Samanta Shyam Benegal Subhash Ghai Tanuja Chandra Tinu Anand
Vidhu Vinod Chopra Vikram Bhatt
Not all of them named their full quota of 10. This is why the total number of
votes is 236, and not 250. Two of our jury included their own films in their lists. These were removed while
tabulating the results.
