Anand Mishra

Anand Mishra, honestly, is one of those names you just keep bumping into if you’re even a little bit into Bollywood’s recent rollercoaster of blockbusters and cult favorites. The guy’s got a pretty wild resume—Chhaava (2025), which, if you haven’t heard, is already getting buzz for its mix of action and old-school drama, and then there’s Kick from 2014, a movie everyone and their dog has at least heard about, if not watched on some lazy Sunday. Oh, and Stree 2 (2024)? Yeah, the follow-up to that surprise horror-comedy hit that had people both laughing and hiding behind their popcorn. Mishra’s work kind of hops all over the place. He’s not boxed in by genre—one minute you’ve got him knee-deep in supernatural chaos, the next he’s dishing out high-octane action or slipping in some sharp wit. It’s like he can’t decide if he wants to make you laugh, freak you out, or just put you on the edge of your seat. But, hey, that’s sort of what keeps things interesting with him. People talk about versatility, but Anand Mishra basically lives and breathes it. His characters aren’t cookie-cutter either; there’s always some twist or a layer you didn’t see coming. Whether he’s behind the camera or somewhere in the mix, you can tell there’s a signature vibe—something a little unpredictable, a bit cheeky, and definitely not boring. If you’re hunting for movies that actually keep you guessing (or just want to see something that isn’t the same old formula), Mishra’s stuff is worth tossing on your watchlist.
