Filmmaking maestro Subhash Ghai recently celebrated Javed Siddiqui as a truly versatile writer, hailing him as a brilliant amalgamation of artistic flair, poetic elegance, and literary depth. Fans and filmmakers alike are revisiting their legendary teamwork.
Ghai recounted crafting epics like ‘Hero’ with Siddiqui’s razor-sharp yet soulful dialogues that became cultural touchstones. ‘His pen wove magic, blending kala, kavita, and sahitya effortlessly,’ Ghai expressed with evident reverence.
From gritty realism in ‘Arth’ to fantastical elements in other works, Siddiqui’s range knew no bounds. Ghai highlighted his role in mentoring younger talents during Bollywood’s transformative 80s and 90s.
In today’s fast-paced industry, Ghai’s ode reminds us of screenwriting’s noble art. Siddiqui’s dialogues, often quoted verbatim, testify to his impact.
Ghai concluded optimistically, predicting renewed interest in Siddiqui’s oeuvre as audiences seek substance over spectacle.
