Nitesh Tiwari

Nitesh Tiwari fascinates me first for the unlikely path: an IIT Bombay engineer who chose cinema instead. That takes nerve. His Filmfare Best Director win and his National Film Award-winning children's film Chillar Party reveal a rare gift for blending mass entertainment with genuine social heart. As a director who also writes and pens lyrics, he clearly wants to shape every layer of a story himself. To me, that hands-on craftsmanship is what separates a manager of scenes from a true author of films. In an industry built on emotion, Tiwari is an engineer of feeling, and I find that combination irresistible.
