During the festival Gulzar said, “Let me be frank, Meghna’s movies are far ahead of mine. It is far better in all ways. But Technique and expression wise. I am just more of a writer. She is more of a film maker. My films are verbose because I am a writer. I talk much. Films don’t talk much. Movies will speak to you visually and there is a huge difference.
