There are directors who can make consecutive hit movies like Rohit Shetty but when the quality of the movie is concerned there's no one like Raju Hirani. His movies are liked both by classes and masses which is a rare thing. Also all his movies are socially relevant and they don't preach. There's nothing over the top yet they inspire you in a subtle way..I don't think any other director of Bollywood has the capacity to do it.
I recently watched Rajeev Masand's round table with the producers (Karan Johar, Sajid, Ekta, Sid) and somehow Hriani's name came up. Karan basically said what you said above. He said that Hirani is the only one who can deliver commercial and critical acclaimed films. He called Hirani and a genius and a living legend and said that none of them will ever be Hirani so they should accept it and admire his genius and move on knowing this fact.
It is really hard to disagree with Karan here. One other thing that I like about Hirani is that he keeps such a low profile that you know that he does all of this for the love of the art of film making. That is equally as respectable in my opinion.
