Anil Sharma

Anil Sharma, a name that’s been popping up more and more lately, especially if you’re into Indian cinema with a bit of a twist. The guy made waves with “Vanvaas” in 2024, a film that’s not your average, run-of-the-mill story. It dives headfirst into the messiness of exile, family drama, and those raw, gut-punching choices that stick with you long after the credits roll. You’ve got characters who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty—morally, emotionally, whatever. Sharma’s direction? Gritty as hell. He doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles, and honestly, it’s refreshing. No cheesy melodrama, just real people, real pain, and a plot that keeps you guessing if anyone’s actually going to make it out okay. There are moments where you’re thinking, “Wait, did that seriously just happen?” Yeah, he goes there. Then you’ve got “Doctor Doctor” from 2020, which is a whole different ballgame—think sharp wit meets medical chaos. Sharma flips the script on those typical doctor tropes, throwing in a cast of characters who juggle personal baggage and professional drama like it’s an Olympic sport. It’s got that quick-fire dialogue, hospital politics, and just enough heart to keep things from going full-blown soap opera. Both films show Sharma isn’t afraid to take risks or get a little weird with his storytelling. He’s definitely one of those directors who’s not just passing through—he’s here to shake things up, and he’s not following anyone else’s rulebook.
