Filmfare's Editor-In-Chief Jitesh Pillaai reflects on the cinematic relevance and lasting impact of Ram Gopal Varma. Revisiting films like Satya, Shiva, Govinda Govinda, Sarkar and more, he explores how Varma reshaped storytelling and filmmaking in India, and why his work continues to be essential viewing for film students. Here's what Jitesh has to say about RGV: Film watchers of a certain vintage get off on his films to date. He spawned a hundred wannabes and filmmakers who aped him in form but never in spirit. He gave style to the movies and directed from his gut.
