Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra
Starting from the bottom of the success ladder, Mehra's flop debut, Aks, faded from memory when his second film, Rang De Basanti, released and became a blockbuster. A film about five youngsters, who kill and get killed for the sake of their friend, was truly inspirational and became a cult classic.
The film made a net profit of Rs 32-34 crores worldwide in theatrical collections.
