Amit Roy

Amit Roy’s name might not ring out like some Bollywood headline-grabbers, but, man, the guy’s been quietly shaping some pretty wild rides on screen. If you’ve caught Animal (2023), you already know what I’m talking about—this movie isn’t just another gangster flick. It’s unhinged, violent, loaded with drama, and honestly, you can’t look away. Roy’s touch is all over the visuals, and you feel it in every frame—gritty, raw, and sometimes just plain bonkers. Then there’s Dunki (2023). This one swings in a whole other direction, with Shah Rukh Khan front and center, and the story weaving through themes of migration, dreams, and a fair bit of heartbreak. It hits that sweet spot between comedy and drama, and, sure, it gets sappy at times, but that’s Bollywood for you. Can’t knock it. And don’t sleep on Runningshaadi.com (2017) either. That one’s a total left turn—a rom-com about a couple helping folks elope. It’s goofy, it’s light, and it pokes fun at all the wedding chaos everyone’s seen or heard about. What cracks me up is how Roy bounces between these genres without missing a step. Not everyone can pull off brutal family drama and then jump to slapstick romance, but here we are. So, yeah, Amit Roy may not be splashed across every magazine cover, but he’s been dropping some pretty memorable stuff, and that’s not something you see every day.
