ABSTRACT
I met Rituparno in the year 1997. He was producing and directing a commercial, when he called me up to do the cinematography. At that time I was mostly doing only commercials and corporate documentaries. I agreed to work, and he was very happy with it. After a month or so, he rang me up to say that he was planning a feature film and asked me if I could do the cinematography. That’s how Asukh happened – my first film with him. Afterwards, we worked together in many feature films until his last – Satyanweshi. It’s been a long journey for a director-cinematographer collaboration. There are a couple of films I couldn’t shoot because of my other commitments; for example, Bariwali, Noukadubi and Sob Charitro Kalponik.
