The tragedy of India is that the Mahatma, who has numerous streets named after him and has had his statues put up everywhere, who's there in our school books and on our currency, who is used by everyone to hardsell his political ideology, is not emulated in India.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
Campaigning for Congress is an issue of conviction, and there is no element of any personal gain in it.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
There is a child in every man, and that's why larger-than-life stories which have a fairly tale component will work.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I believe that, at times, if some of us are almost too critical of our society, it's because our sensitivity and our concern for justice makes us aware that our nation falls terribly short of its highest potential.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My mother was a Muslim and dad a Hindu. I got the best upbringing that anyone could. Never did I see any angst in my family owing to that: each practiced their own religion. My existence is the harmony that these two communities can achieve if they try.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
'Citylights' is for those people who know a lot but don't feel at all. It's time for them to feel, and this film will make those people, who know so much, feel because feeling is the life blood of human race, which is disappearing.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
Questioning authority can hardly be called our national pastime. We even make a philosophy out of fear. Fatalism, destiny, karma... are the favourite cultural holes we hide in when authority flogs us. And what's our tragedy.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
A true artist is one who, even after doing a lot, he reminds himself that he hasn't done anything.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
With larger-than-life films, you are lifted from your mundane, ordinary life because you empathise with the hero, and people see themselves in him.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I was perhaps lucky to be born in a single-parent home where my mother, Shirin Mohammed Ali, was the sole figure I revered. My father's absence in my life in my formative years exposed me to only one person, who was my source of learning the lessons of life. So to me, listening to a woman and her worldly view is almost automatic.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
'Blood Money' was a stand-alone film, but we worked double for it. We realised how difficult it is to sensitise people to anything new, especially when you don't have a star.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I have no worthwhile memories of my father, therefore no idea of what a father's role should be.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I come from a home where my mother was the only emotional umbrella under which we found all the warmth and comforts and sustenance. My father would come and go, and not as often as we'd want him to.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
While the male wants to conquer the world, the woman has a take on her immediate world that is so sparklingly refreshing that the male cannot even think of it.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I don't think the choice of launching Sunny Leone as an actor in Hindi cinema was that radical a decision.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
The film industry not only in India but also Hollywood is insular. It's inward-looking.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
There is no denying that entertainment industries are insular, but you can't generalise that statement and apply it to everyone.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
The whole idea of 'One size fits all' is not going to work in India with a billion people.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
Cinema now can't be just about introspection and atma manthan; such topics won't work.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
A franchise gives a sense of security to everyone - the director, producers, exhibitors, and even the audience feels that they are watching something close to the first part.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My mother found herself in a triangular situation of my father and his legitimate wife. I experienced the emotional trauma of that triangle in my cradle.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
Men who create power make an indispensable contribution to a nation's greatness. But, men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My last film as director, the National Award winning 'Zakhm,' barely managed to break even. So why should I listen to so-called sensibilities of a handful of critics?
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I am a mere filmmaker. I am not even aligned to any political party. I vote for the Congress party, and I root for the Congress ideology, but I am not subject to the Congress party.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My father did not live with us. When he came home, he never took off his shoes - he wouldn't be staying. My father had another family: Although my father had two homes, he paid for our education and household expenses.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
'Arth' was born at a stage of my life when I had gone through an emotional wasteland.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My career says that my doors will always be open for all. When an Anupam Kher walked in through my door at 28 and got 'Saaransh,' it launched his unimaginably productive career.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
Everyone claims to have found the 'Holy Grail' - the perfect formula that can guarantee a hit in Bollywood. But those who seriously believe in it are deluded.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
I can understand the individual who is driven by biases. I can sit with him across the table and can talk to him, deal with him. But bias in the man whom we put in the seat of power and who decides to play on it... That man will destroy the very fabric of the nation.
Quote by -Mahesh Bhatt
My life screams out and says one thing: 'indulgence.' I am a person who would never deny myself anything.
