Who we are
Just Some Dreamers
During my FTII days, I worked as a trainee under Hari Nair in the movie Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Shool’. After completing my course from FTII, I upskilled myself under eminent cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay for a year.
How I start
Independent DoP
I took my first shot as an independent DoP in the feature film ‘Raasta’, directed by Bratya Basu.
Memorable begining
Working with Rituporno Ghosh
I was extremely fortunate to have worked with the legendary filmmaker Late Rituparno Ghosh and this gave me my first major break in the year 2007 with Ghosh’s ‘Shob Charitra Kalponik’. This association went a long way and I am honoured to have done many other feature films with the master in his lifetime, which includes ‘Noukadubi’ (2010).
Working with Aparna Sen
- I learned more while working with another renowned filmmaker, Aparna Sen, in ‘Goynar Baksho’ (2013), ‘Ghawre Baire Aaj’ (2019).
- I tried to follow my passion for doing better and better with each film.
- My next achievement came with ‘Autograph’ (2010) & ‘Baishe Sraban’ (2011), directed by Srijit Mukherjee. Some of our other acclaimed joint ventures are ‘Jatishwar’ & ‘Gumnaami’.
From then on, fortunately, there was no looking back.
