'Appreciation' as a word describing your enormous creative contributions falls short by miles,' the Bollywood veteran wrote.

12 years of Raanjhanaa: 5 films capturing same chaos of love and obsession
Twelve years ago, on June 21, 2013, Raanjhanaa was released to the public, telling an emotional story of naiveté, obsession, and loss that many could relate to. The film examines the various shades of unrequited love and teenage passion, with Dhanush's explosive Hindi cinema debut, a haunting score by A.R. Rahman, and Aanand L. Rai's grounded directing serving as its anchors. In honour of the film's 12th anniversary, we take a look back at five more films that share the same Raanjhanaa vibe—an intense emotional journey marked by untidy longing and honest vulnerability. Raanjhanaa Stream Bareilly Ki Barfi, Highway, and Piku now on OTTplay Premium— heartwarming journeys filled with charm, self-discovery, and unforgettable characters. As a modern-day adaptation of Great Expectations, Fitoor explores issues of social class and the psychological wounds caused by unrequited love. The film stars Katrina Kaif as the icy, otherworldly Firdaus, and Aditya Roy Kapur plays the role of an artist whose obsession with the eerie Kashmir backdrop and artistic images leads him to fall in love. It tackles the same themes as Raanjhanaa—the way love can turn into an obsession and the trauma that people carry with them into adulthood. Tamasha How can we cope when the pressures of conforming to society stifle our true selves? Two individuals, Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (Deepika Padukone), who meet in Corsica and develop feelings for each other's unrestrained selves, are the means through which this is examined in Tamasha by Imtiaz Ali. Similar to Kundan in Raanjhanaa, Ved also grapples with the conflict between conforming and fully embracing life. Romance is depicted in both films as a path to self-discovery rather than merely a romantic pursuit. Cocktail At its heart, Cocktail is about friendship, love, and the hazy space in between. Relationships are unpredictable, as shown in the stories of Meera, Veronica, and Gautam, portrayed by Diana Penty, Deepika Padukone, and Saif Ali Khan, respectively. Similar to Raanjhanaa, it explores the complexities of love and asks if it is ever sufficient on its own. Love is depicted as unpredictable, fragile, and chaotic at times. Manmarziyaan One of the most direct spiritual descendants of Raanjhanaa is Manmarziyaan by Anurag Kashyap. Rumi, played by Taapsee Pannu, is conflicted between Robbie's (Abhishek Bachchan) level-headed wisdom and Vicky's (Vicky Kaushal) impulsive, poisonous love. The film exposes the tumultuous emotional turbulence that frequently characterises contemporary love, thanks to a scathing screenplay by Kanika Dhillon. Vicky is just like Kundan: a real, flawed, and obsessed person. OK Bangaram This Tamil romantic comedy features Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen as a contemporary Mumbai couple negotiating a live-in relationship, and it was directed by Mani Ratnam. The emotional tug of war between commitment and independence is delicately woven into the second half of Raanjhanaa; despite its seemingly lighter tone, OK Bangaram manages to portray this conflict. It's about a love that finds its way through life while holding on to its dreams. Raanjhanaa reflected on more than simply romantic relationships; it also explored themes of sacrifice, identity, and the challenges of first love.

Anurag Kashyap returns to screen as a fearless cop in 'Dacoit', recalls BTS moments with Abhishek Bachchan; shares a memory from 'Manmarziyaan'
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, the creative force behind cult classics like Gangs of Wasseypur, recently stirred nostalgia on social media by sharing an unseen behind-the-scenes photo featuring Abhishek Bachchan from the sets of Manmarziyaan. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Kashyap captioned the picture simply as 'memory from Manmarziyaan,' giving fans a heartfelt glimpse into the making of one of his most emotionally layered films. Manmarziyaan (2018), which starred Abhishek Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, and Vicky Kaushal, was praised for its raw and realistic portrayal of modern-day love and complex relationships. Abhishek's understated performance as the calm, emotionally mature Robbie stood in poignant contrast to Vicky Kaushal's impulsive and chaotic DJ Sandz. The film's love triangle remains one of Kashyap's most nuanced storytelling feats. While reflecting on his filmmaking journey in a recent chat with Bollywood Hungama, Kashyap made a surprising revelation—he has five feature films that are yet to see the light of day. 'There are five feature films that are still not released. Out of which two films are going to be released; hopefully the third one also,' he shared. Calling himself 'the most unreleased filmmaker in the country,' Kashyap's candid admission highlights the many hurdles he has faced despite his reputation as one of Indian cinema's most daring voices. Take a look: But Anurag isn't just about the director's chair—he's equally comfortable in front of the camera. The Black Friday director has taken on a slew of acting roles over the years, ranging from cameos to full-fledged characters, many of which showcased his knack for portraying gritty, morally grey figures. His acting credits include appearances in No Smoking, Dev D, Gulaal, Soundtrack, Happy New Year, and I Am, along with significant roles in Akira, Imaikkaa Nodigal, Maharaja, and Bad Cop. Now, the multifaceted filmmaker-actor is set to return to the screen in a compelling new avatar with Dacoit: A Love Story, a pan-India action drama that pairs him with Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur . Anurag will be seen playing a sharp, no-nonsense police inspector—a devoted Ayyappa follower and an unwavering crusader against corruption. Known for his biting wit and intellectual firepower, his character promises to bring a unique flavor to this high-octane narrative. With Dacoit already generating buzz for its powerful cast and gripping storyline, fans can expect yet another intense cinematic experience—this time with Anurag Kashyap not just behind the lens, but in the thick of the action.
