a little magic before the menu begins
Est. Calcutta · Reel 1 a little kitchen, a lot of magic

Good food.
Great mood.
Small magic.

An old-Calcutta pantry with a director's eye — tandoor smoke, hilsa in mustard, biryani steam, and mishti to end the reel. Cooked fresh, packed like a keepsake, sent warm to your door.

Notes from the Auteur

Every reel needs a little poetry between courses.

Bhooter Raja, the King of Ghosts
A frame from the classics
Illustrated tribute to Bhooter Raja
Fan art tribute

"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet."

On Filmmaking

"The only solutions that are ever worth anything are the solutions that people find themselves."

On Creativity

"There's always some room for improvisation."

On The Craft

"To truly see a person you need vision, not eyes."

On Vision

"It is the half shades, the hardly audible notes that I want to capture and explore. My films are about human beings, human relationships, and social life."

On His Approach

"Cinema's essential appeal is visual."
