My Take
Sriram Raghavan is the kind of contrarian I instinctively root for. A Bombay-born, Fergusson College-educated director working in Hindi cinema, he has carved out a singular lane as an auteur of neo-noir thrillers since his 2004 debut Ek Hasina Thi. In an industry famous for song, spectacle and big emotion, choosing shadow, ambiguity and the slow twist takes real nerve. Misdirecting an audience and then betraying their assumptions demands a genuinely sharp mind, and he pulls it off repeatedly. He embodies how deep and varied Indian cinema actually is, and he remains a filmmaker I follow closely.
