Dibakar Das Roy

Dibakar Das Roy’s filmography isn’t your typical Bollywood fluff—he goes in for the weird, the gritty, the proper offbeat stuff. “Dilli Dark” dropped in 2023, and man, it’s not your usual Delhi story. You’re wandering through the city’s underbelly, tripping over the real and surreal, dodging stereotypes and clichés like potholes in monsoon. The movie juggles class, race, and that relentless city hustle, with a dark comedy twist that somehow manages to be both hilarious and uncomfortably true. You get characters who feel like folks you might actually bump into on a bad metro day—messy, ambitious, a little lost, and very much alive. Then you’ve got “Friday Finance” from 2019, which is less about Wall Street wolves and more about the middle-class Indian trying to keep their dreams from evaporating in the heat. It does a killer job digging into the mundane madness of chasing money, mixing up humor and heartbreak, and maybe making you feel a bit seen or called out. It’s not preachy, just painfully relatable. And don’t sleep on “India’s Most Haunted” (2011). This isn’t just a ghostbusting show with cheap jump scares. It dives into real-life haunted legends, mixing interviews, folklore, and genuinely eerie vibes. The show’s got guts—plenty of skeptics and believers, but always keeping things spicy, never letting you get too comfortable. Roy’s touch? He brings out the raw, unpredictable energy in every project. There’s always something lurking under the surface.
