I make breathtaking films for profit.
I am a Mumbai-based filmmaker creating visually bold, genre-driven cinema built on atmosphere, suspense, and precise cinematic artistry.
For over 20 years, I have written, produced, directed, and shot films that combine strong visual design, stylized cinematography, and tightly constructed storytelling. My work draws from the traditions of great cinema while exploring stories through a distinctly Indian cinematic lens.
My first feature film, The Impossible Murder (2008), is a locked-room mystery that I wrote, produced, and directed. The film went on to gain over 3 million views on YouTube, finding a global audience for its suspense-driven storytelling.
In 2024, my second feature film, Gin Ke Dus (A Count of Ten), a Bollywood thriller inspired by Giallo and slasher cinema, was released theatrically in India and now streams on Amazon Prime Video and Tubi.
Alongside filmmaking, I have also produced two science-fiction comedy stage plays: Funny Robots (English) and Mars Ke Kalakar (Hindi).
Today, I focus on creating ambitious and breathtaking films for global audiences, while also mentoring filmmakers worldwide through my blog and YouTube channel, which reach millions of filmmakers worldwide.

the tarpa player (2020)
Bhiklya Ladkya Dhinda is one of the last Tarpa players. The Tarpa Player typically forms the core of Warli Art and the Warli tribe.
He is 85 years old, and can move about like a 40-year old. His energy, optimism and drive is infectious. He is an inspiration to all. I hope you like this award-winning character vignette.
In 2026 he won the Padma Bhushan for his work.
