Anjana, I feel Ram Gopal Verma used to make good movies when he made movies like Rangeela, and Satya.

Since a past 5years or so he has not been making good movie regularly as his production house has been making a lot of new movie with new comers. As in turn his name is getting spoiled. He does make good movie when he himself takes the interest in the movie and directs the movie.

Movies like James, Shiva and Go have been a huge flop and by huge I really mean huge.
In between he made movie like Sarkar and sequel to it in a very his kind of movie which he does the best, goon action movies. He should only concentrate on making these sorts of movies and nothing but action but directs himself.

The finest craftsman of indian movies, the boyish looking RamGopal Verma is a new rainbow on the horizon of films. His technique and style are akin to Hollywood. Shy of interviews and preoccupied with his work, he talks less and thinks more. At Siddhardha Engineering College(he did engineering), Vijayawada, he was a regular movie goer. In a week of 7days, he used to see 8 to 10 movies. He used to go to the same movie again and again just to watch certain scenes which interested him. "Shekhar Kapoor" is the director he admires most.

His mother acknowledged his love for films right from his childhood and called him movie crazy. Obviously he did not get any support on this from his parents who wanted him to make good as an engineer. No one expected him to make such an impact on Indian film field. He shot into fame with his very first movie "Siva", the film that wrote box office history of Telugu movies at the age of 28. It is difficult to believe that this was his maiden venture. He is credited with the script, the screenplay and direction.

Every good film is a text book, he says. He learned direction by watching films. His unwavering interest in movies made him script "Siva". He found an earnest listener in Nagarjuna, who had the guts to experiment with variety. Nagarjuna, as the right kind of soft and tough guy, fitted the hero's bill well. While making the film he followed his bare instincts, Ram Gopal says. He gave full credit to the team. Stickler for prefection, Ram Gopal's "Siva" is a perfect blend of story, full of violence, fun and love by the roadside. While it took some of his peers over two decades to build their image as successful directors , he achieved it in 3 years He won 1991 A.P. Government's Nandi award as Best Director.

Rangeela catapulted him into Bollywood. He is planning to move to a bigger arena and not confine himself to Telugu audience alone..Satya was a big sensation and brought the best from a unpopular actor like Manoj Bajpai. He is thinking of making only Hindi films in future which has larger national audience. It is certainly a loss to Telugu audience and a gain to Hindi audience. Let us hope and wish he doesn't forget his roots and entertain the Telugu audience.

Well Anjana, Ram Gopal Verma has proved his mantle as an ace movie maker.

But as time has shown that even maestro makes mistake, so had he shown in many of his ventures (i.e. RGV Ki Aag etc.), but that fact doesn't discount his talent or caliber by any means. He is one of the greatest talent in Bollywood who is not afraid to chart untested waters. And, that is the reason for movies from his stable like Satya, Company, Sarkar(one of the best masterpiece which was able to stand gainst best ever movie Godfather and still maintained its identity) etc.

ram gopal verma has given us some very good movies of the like company,sarkar,sarkar raj ...but of late films like ramu ki aag , darna mana hain ,darna zaruri hain and many others have really brought down his reputaion ...
he is surely capable of giving us good films ...al he needs to do is to work on the script much more before hitting the floors

He is one of the very few creative directors of India who made sucmemrable hits as Satya,Company and Rangeela.. failures are but common in a director's life. Then who doesn't have? wait for his great pictures.

Well Anjana, , Ram Gopal Verma makes both good and bad movie.

Why I am saying it because It is the Ram Gopal Verma whio made " Ramu Ki aag", the worst ever movie I have seen in my entire life.

No doubt , Ramu is a very good director and made some brilliant movies.

Ramu has made some brilliant movies like Satya , Rangeela, Sarkar , Pyar tune kya kiya and many more.

On the other hand he has also made worst movies like Darna mana hai , Ramu ki aag etc.

Ram Gopal Varma born April 7, 1962) is an Indian film director, writer and film producer from Andhra Pradesh. He is popular for his slick, grisly films and his penchant for horror and gangster films. He is rated as the one of the finest directors in India. He owns a production house which churns out a large number of small budget Indie films every year, with great success. He has a cult like fan following in India and abroad. His most successful films include Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Company and Sarkar. He is also credited for making Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag. The film was a remake of the Bollywood Classic Sholay (flames). The remake turned out to be both a critical and box office failure.

Ram Gopal Varma started his film career in the Hyderabad film industry as production assistant for the films Raogarillu and Collectorgari Abbai produced by S.S.Creations. Ram Gopal Varma made a huge mark in the telugu industry with his debut film Shiva , a violent stylized crime drama with a college backdrop. At the age of 28, with no film background and training, he was able to convince Nagarjuna, then a young telugu star to do his debut movie. Nagarjuna liked the narration of the script and energy displayed by Varma, and produced the movie himself. Shiva became a landmark film for the Telugu industry and was later remade by Varma in Hindi, but was not able to repeat the same commercial success as that of the original. It has, however, become a cult classic.

His another bilingual (Telugu/Hindi) film Kshana Kshanam (starring Venkatesh and Sridevi in the lead) was loosely based on a Hollywood flick Romancing the Stone and was another huge blockbuster for the young Varma. Raatri (a bilingual horror flick with Revathi in the lead),Antham (a hard hitting bilingual crime drama with Nagarjuna and Urmila Matondkar in the lead, all failed to repeat the commercial success of his first two films.

Govinda Govinda (with Nagarjuna and Sridevi in the lead) became controversial because the villain of the film steals the diamond studded crown from the sacred Lord Venkateshwara idol. Despite it being purely fiction, the scene was considered sacrilegious. Indian censor boards asked Varma to delete this scene and the movie became a dud at the box-office.

One of his releases, Gaayam with newcomer Jagapati Babu Revathi, and Urmila Matondkar was about the politics of a city, most people consider it to be Vijayawada during his college days in the city. The screenplay was provided by popular film director Mani Ratnam, and Ratnam wrote the script based on The Godfather. It became a huge success and put Varma back on top.

He would then start his own production banner Varma corporation limited and produced Telugu films such as Money, Money Money, Gulabi, Wife of Mr. Vara Prasad, Anaganaga oka roju, Deyyam (with the last two directed by Varma himself). His assistant directors Krishna Vamsi, Shiva Naageshwar Rao, B.vasu, Teja who worked as a cinematographer for his movies, later became big names in the telugu industry.

While popular Indian Cinema was either over the top action films or glamorous love stories, his movies were more deep and realistic. Though Indian Cinema has always produced ace movie-makers who reveled in the portrayal of realism, he is credited for bringing realistic films into the mainstream and creating his own niche as a maker of stylish yet realistic commercial cinema.

He has been known for remaking his own movies. He remade Shiva (Telugu) into Shiva (Hindi) then re-remade the same movie in 2006 as Shiva 2006 (Hindi) with a different cast and tasted commercial failure. He then remade Raatri (Telugu) as Raat (Hindi) and also as Deyyam (Telugu). He made Antham (Telugu) into Drohi (Hindi).

His first success in Bollywood started with the commercial blockbuster Rangeela, a romantic drama. Urmila Matondkar became a big Bollywood star overnight. A. R. Rahman also became a star in Bollywood
