The critics and public both have acclaimed 'Zinda' and is being said to be the first hit of 2006, and director SANJAY GUPTA is smiling from ear to ear with the opening that the film has garnered so far.

Excerpts from an interview by VICKEY LALWANI:

How does it feel to have cracked the first jackpot of 2006?
Though I knew in my heart of hearts that 'Zinda' would do the trick for me, it's a different feeling altogether when it actually happens. Sanju and John have equally contributed to the film, and I am very happy with the reviews that the film has got in sections of the press.

You have changed in style of filmmaking?
I have matured as a director. I have come of age (smiles). My work in Zinda is a clear reflection of how I have got the hang of being not only stylized in my approach, but how to tell a story and keep the audience at the edge of the seat. Touch wood (pauses).
