Priyadarshee Srivastava

Priyadarshee Srivastava, man, this guy’s got a resume that’s all over the place—in a good way. You’ve probably caught his name in the credits if you’ve been paying attention to some of the more unique films out of India recently. Ground Zero, set to drop in 2025, is already getting whispers because, honestly, people are curious about what Srivastava’s gonna pull off this time. He doesn’t really stick to one genre, keeps people guessing. His earlier work, Drishtti (back in 2018), was this moody, atmospheric ride that didn’t try to spoon-feed the audience. Then, just when you thought you had him pegged, he pops up in Chhatriwali in 2023, which had a totally different vibe—lighter, more playful, but still with that sharp edge he brings. What’s cool about Srivastava is he doesn’t seem to care about playing it safe. One minute he’s digging into social issues, next he’s serving up a character study that just hits different. Even his side characters tend to feel fleshed out, which is rare these days. You get the feeling he actually digs into the script, trying to find those weird little human moments that stick with you after the credits roll. His movies aren’t about big explosions or cheap thrills—they’re more about nuance, awkward silences, all that stuff that makes people real. So, if you’re bored of the same-old formulaic flicks, keep an eye on what he’s attached to. Srivastava doesn’t do boring.
