Debidutta Mohanty
Debidutta Mohanty’s filmography? Wild ride, honestly. So, Pushkara (2023)—that one had people talking. Not just another flick, nah, it’s one of those stories that gets under your skin. You’ve got these tangled family ties, a dash of fate, and all the drama that makes you go, “Wait, what?” Mohanty doesn’t shy away from the real stuff—he digs into the messiness of relationships, the choices nobody wants to make, and that feeling like life’s just a bit too much sometimes. Characters? Flawed, totally. But that’s what makes ‘em stick with you.
Then comes Villain - Life of a Gangster (2024). The name says it all, right? Gritty, raw, and way more than your run-of-the-mill crime drama. It hooks you in with this ruthless world of gangs, loyalty tested at every turn, and a protagonist who’s not exactly a hero… but you can’t help but root for him anyway. The movie doesn’t sugarcoat anything—betrayal, ambition, the price of power—it’s all right there, messy and unpredictable. You’ll probably end up questioning who the real villain is by the end.
And, hey, don’t sleep on Pade Akasha (2025) either. It’s got that poetic vibe but keeps it grounded. Chasing dreams, falling flat on your face, picking yourself back up—it’s all in there. Mohanty’s got a knack for capturing the heartbreak and hope that come with trying to find your place in the world. The film’s not afraid to get a little vulnerable, either. Basically, if you’re into stories that feel lived-in and raw, his movies serve it up, no filter.
