Imtiaz Ali, the director with the light touch

Though not too many people are aware of it, Socha Na Tha helped a small director in the film industry, Imtiaz Ali, four years ago. After that came the sleeper hit Jab We Met and the Hindi film industry had found a director who with his light touch and easy dialogues brought a fresh perspective to young romances. This year's hit, Love Aaj Kal has cemented Ali's reputation and made his relationship with movie-goers that much stronger.
