Chandan Bakshi

Chandan Bakshi isn’t exactly a household name, but if you’re the type of person who gets lost in movie credits or spends way too much time on music videos at 2 a.m., you’ve probably stumbled across his work. He made some noise in Bollywood with Veerey Ki Wedding back in 2018—a rom-com that didn’t exactly break box office records, but you can’t deny it had that classic masala vibe. The film brings in the usual chaos that comes with Indian weddings: over-the-top families, plenty of misunderstandings, and enough drama to keep your aunties gossiping for weeks. Chandan had his fingerprints all over that, and honestly, it’s got a certain charm, even if it’s not Oscar bait. But Bakshi doesn’t just stick to movies. He’s dipped his toes into the world of music videos, too. Teriyan Akhiyaan, the 2020 release featuring Arun Solanki with Bhavin Bhanushali and Neha Rana, might not have gone mega-viral, but it’s one of those tracks that ends up on repeat in your playlist without you even realizing it. The visuals are slick, the chemistry between the leads isn’t forced, and you can tell Bakshi knows how to work a camera around music and emotion. Jump to 2022, and you’ll see his name pop up again with Rajat Bakshi: Meherma. It’s got that indie vibe—think moody lighting, lingering shots, and a kind of rawness that’s hard to fake. Chandan Bakshi isn’t front and center in the Bollywood limelight, but he’s definitely building a portfolio that shows range, from full-blown wedding chaos to the subtle storytelling of music videos. Keeps you curious about what he’ll do next, honestly.
