Hirani focuses on telling a story that he wants to tell and making a film that he himself would like to watch. His films aim to comically mock the conventional system and practices.
With his directorial debut Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Hirani tells the audience how a simple 'Jadoo Ki Jhappi' can solve one's problems. With the film 3 Idiots, Rajkumar makes one wonder if rote and bookish learning is beneficial.
With the film Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Rajkumar effortlessly combined the historical figure of Gandhiji to solve the society's issues. With his movie PK, Hirani deciphers beliefs and myths through a literal outsider's perspective. The movie gave us an insight into how our superstitions are deeply rooted within us.
With his latest movie Sanju, Rajkumar shows some real-life scenarios of a movie star, and offered the audiences an insight into how deeply media affects one's thinking and beliefs.
Rajkumar Hirani's films have transformed our thinking and made us question some generalisations we ardently followed. The audience has been desperately waiting for the filmmaker to announce his next film, and so are we!
