A PERSONAL NOTE:

In the field of Movie Making, we do not change with the times but instead make certain that we change the times we live in."

Hi Everybody ! I have been on the net since quite sometime and I am overwhelmed to receive tremendous response from all YOU Subhash Ghai fans.
Since Graduating from the Film Institute of India (Pune) in 1965, I have outgrown many beliefs and ideologies and see the world in a different perspective altogether - but the only significant thing that has not changed for me is my love and passion for Cinema; and especially for Mainstream Commercial Cinema. For me, the ultimate ecstasy, the glimpse of heaven, the pinnacle of euphoria is sitting with cinegoers in a crowded Cinema Hall who are avidly watching my movie with wide glued eyes , enjoying my work and treasuring every bit of my effort as a Director.

With all modesty, I think I have gone through every Department of Film Making - from starting out in the field as an Actor to Writing my Scripts, taking to Direction as well as being a Producer with the formation of my Production Company; MUKTA ARTS. In all probability, I shall some day write a book on my life - the life of a man who loves Cinema.

My journey from Nagpur (where I was born) to Delhi (where I was brought up) to Bombay has been long and satisfying with the support of my family and loved ones. It is my experience as an Actor and Writer that has served me well in grasping the psyche of the large Indian audiences as well as abroad. I have made 14 Films in a span of 25 years in the Indian Film Industry. I can't exactly be called prolific but I try to make it up with my consistency in quality and versatility of subjects. I am still in the process of growing as a Film Maker and one life may not be enough to Master the Art of Cinema which is the Mirror of people and one man cannot be the Mirror of millions of people, he is just a Subjective Narrator of Human life in parts.

I love people and I think that Human beings are the most wonderful creations of God. One may call my Success as God's blessings, a Business or Professional Intelligence or my own hard work but I know that this is because of my inner desire to love people and respect them for whatever they are, whosoever they are and an effort to know them closely and present them in my Films in my Cinematic Language.

STAR SPEAKS:

A.R Rahman
"……Subhash Ghai is a genuine lover of music. He's like a child in his responses. If he likes something he hears, he gets really excited. If he doesn't like it, he gets depressed."

Anil Kapoor
My relationship with Subhash Ghai started before I even came into the film industry - he was one of the judges at a college function. My professional relationship started with him when he signed me for Meri Jung. After that I have worked for him in Karma, Ram Lakhan, Trimurti and Taal. His contribution as a director has been immense and I owe a lot to him, not only as a contribution to my career but to the stardom I have attained due to his films. In two decades, he has proved to be the most successful director, not only commercially but also for the reason that his films are wholesome family entertainers.
His characters are very powerful and people remember them for a long time and associate them with the actors. He has a passion for film making and has a great rapport with his entire unit be it technicians or spot boys and has a very good interaction with people of different levels of IQ. Filmmakers like him should be around as the industry would be incomplete without them and they are an inspiration for the youngsters to attain the heights of stardom. Each time I meet him I can see the hunger in his eyes for more success and to make better films.

Aishwarya Rai
To describe Mr. Ghai in a couple of lines is very restricting and believe me this isn't coming from someone enamoured by his aura and obvious popularity but a student who genuinely admires and respects him. The most motivating and inspiring factor is his single minded dedication to his project on hand. I have throughly enjoyed the experience of working on TAAL under him cause its hard, HARD work .... and fun.

Akshaye Khanna
Mukta Arts is Subhash Ghai and very little can be said about the Company if one were to extract this. Working with Mr. Ghai is not only thoroughly enjoyable and exciting but also an education. Such dedication and honesty to ones art is rare to come by these days.

Amrish Puri
Subhash Ghai is a wonderman film maker. His creativity can be judged from the fact that 90% of his films are a success. His conceptions are very accurate and he has a midas touch where films are concerned. He can handle different subjects competently and has tremendous music knowledge. His strong point is the usage of music in his films. His is totally a one mans' show. He is the most dependable director in terms of successful film making.
