#2 Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahi
The romantic story of a runaway heiress in search of her beloved who falls in love with another man on the journey is a romantic saga enjoyed by the audiences even now. The movie starred Bhatt’s daughter Pooja Bhatt and Aamir Khan in the lead roles.
#3 Aashiqui
We all know Aashiqui is one of the biggest musical hits till date. By hiding the debutante’s face in the poster of the movie, Bhatt yet again striked the right cord. The curiosity among the audiences to know the faces under the coat eventually did wonders for the movie! And the rest is history!
#4 Saaransh
Mahesh Bhatt potrays the grief of an elderly couple as well as the sense of purpose they find in a young woman’s cause. The deep emotions of the old couple are displayed on the silver screen in the most amazing way possible. The movie is nothing but a directorial masterpiece and one of Bhatt’s best work!
#5 Sadak
This gritty drama displayed the dark side of Bhatt’s depictions that was something totally unheard & unseen of by the Bollywood audiences, then. In the movie Sanjay Dutt played the role of a taxi driver who falls in love with a prostitute (Pooja Bhatt) and fights her pimp as well as the system in order to rescue her.
This movie came into the spotlight again when Bhatt directed it’s sequel with his younger daughter, Alia. However, the movie wasn’t a hit as the first part.
