Born & raised in Kolkata, I started directing documentaries before branching out to feature films. 
  My debut feature ‘MEMORIES IN MARCH’, starring Rituparno Ghosh, Raima Sen & Deepti Naval, won the Indian National Award in 2010 & was world premiered at the New Currents Section, Busan International Film Festival 2010. Was also screened at the Indian Panorama, IFFI, Goa ‘2011; MAMI, Mumbai; Kerala IFF, Durban IFF, South Africa and numerous others across the globe. 
  My latest Hindi feature ‘YOURS TRULY’ starring Soni Razdan, Pankaj Tripathi, Aahana Kumra & Mahesh Bhatt had its World Premiere at the Busan International Film Festival 2018 and is being currently screened at festivals across the world and streaming on ZEE5. It recently won the Best Digital Film Award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, 2020.
‘PARAPAAR' (2014), starring Rituparna Sengupta, Paoli Dam, Bratya Basu and based on a Moti Nandy novel was my sophomore feature. 
  I am awaiting the release of his Hindi feature ‘GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE’ starring Revathy, Shweta Tripathi, Rituparna Sengupta, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Shabana Azmi with music composed by M M Kreem.
  My concept for a film “MUJHE JAAN NA KAHO MERI JAAN” a.k.a. Starring Ranbir & Hrithik was selected for the Asian Projects Market, Busan International Film Festival, 2016. 
  An obsessive foodie and traveller, occasionally do apply the grease paint for exciting roles – playing Rabindranath Thakur in Rituparno Ghosh’s last completed film ‘Jeevan Smriti – Selective Memories’ was one such.
