Vishal Bhardwaj is one such filmmaker whose films cannot be defined by one genre. Blending various themes with literature, he creates his dark world where humans are unconventional and dwell in poetic surroundings. With over 2 decades of experience in the Indian film industry, he has experimented with razor-sharp characters through their human complexities and interpersonal relationships.

It is Vishal's birthday today. On this special occasion, it is justified to celebrate the characters that have come out of his genuine writings and creative mind. Especially female characters in his films. Exploring unchartered territories with actors like Tabu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Shabana Azmi and many more, Vishal has stayed far away from the mainstream Bollywood projection of protagonists.
