Throwback to 2017, when our short Afternoon Clouds became the first film from FTII to be premiered at Cannes (Cinéfondation).

Inspired by the lightness and melancholy found in Arpita Singh’s art, we wanted the camera to move sparingly, letting the frames breathe like a series of still-life paintings.

To visually anchor that unspoken longing, I chose to shoot on actual film, demanding a strict technical discipline where every single foot counted.
That celluloid precision rewarded us with what reviewers called a “membrane of melancholia”—an organic softness, rich grain, and a deep palette of mahogany and indigo that digital simply cannot replicate.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful visual storytelling happens in the pauses and the silence.
A proud look back at a milestone that shaped my visual language forever.

In 2018, a documentary I shot premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival — still feels unreal saying that.
I wasn’t the director, but I lived behind the lens for this one — chasing light, reacting to real moments, and trying to do justice to the honesty unfolding in front of me. It was intense, instinctive, and deeply personal.
Watching it screen in Berlin, surrounded by storytellers from around the world, hit differently. Incredibly humbling experience to say the least.
Feel proud to be a part of a great team who made it possible.

Capturing the Unspoken

For 'And What Is the Summer Saying', the challenge wasn't just to film a village, but to film a feeling—the weight of a secret whispered to the wind. We chose a visual language that breathes with the forest.

By stripping away color in the daylight, we found the textures of the Sahyadris. This is contrasted with "moonlit color shots" for night, creating a transition from the stark reality of day to the intimacy of night. The camera doesn't just watch; it listens. It waits for the smoke to rise and the ghosts of old stories to appear.

They say never work with kids, but they clearly haven’t been on a set this fun.
Honestly, shooting with these guys for PNG Shiksha was pure chaos in the best way possible. I love the unpredictability, you never know what they’ll do next, and that’s exactly what makes the energy so vibrant.
Way more challenging than a standard shoot, but 10x the fun.
