Biswarup Biswas

So, here's the scoop on this guy—he's a proper Bengali filmmaker, born and bred in Calcutta. Grew up in a classic Bengali fam, got his schooling done at Narendrapur Ramakrishna Mission (fancy, right?), and then jumped into higher studies at Jadavpur University. Dude's been scribbling scripts and messing around with stage direction since school—like, theater kid energy but with that extra flair. He kicked things off directing short films and got his chops working under Nabyendyu Chatterjee, who’s pretty much a legend in Bengali cinema. Once he felt confident, he started running workshops, teaching actors and directors the ropes. Then in 2010, he dropped his first stage-film, “Nepothey.” It’s not just a one-and-done—he rolled out a whole series after that, bouncing between genres, never sticking to just one style. The guy’s curiosity was wild, so government documentaries? He directed those. Ad-films? Check. Docu-features? Why not. By this point, he was cooking up plans for his first big feature. In 2015, his debut film “Bawal” hit cinemas across Bengal. That kinda set the wheels in motion for his big dream—“Biler Diary.” That project was no joke—major hustle, but it paid off. “Biler Diary” turned out to be a smash hit. Fast-forward to 2019, he put out “Bachha Shoshur,” starring Jeet Madnani, and didn’t just stick behind the camera—he jumped in front as Himu. Not just a filmmaker, but also a registered member with the Film Writer’s Association and EIMPA. Guy’s pretty much everywhere in the Bengali film scene.
