Nitin Desai’s notable works include “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” (1999), “Lagaan” (2001), “Devdas” (2002), “Swades” (2004), “Jodhaa Akbar” (2008) and “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” (2015).

The actor recently attended a promotional event for “Ponniyin Selvan 2” last Tuesday in Mumbai, where she was asked to compare her role Queen Nandini with her character Nandini in Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s iconic film, “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”. 

His films combine operatic language with impassioned desires to create a gorgeous universe that makes you wish it actually did. On the 60th birthday of Bhansali, we take a look at some of his noted works over the years.
