Dixit Sahni

Dixit Sahni’s filmography is honestly one wild ride. You’d think a guy would slow down after a couple of hits, but nah, he just keeps cranking ‘em out like there’s no tomorrow. "Medal" (2023) – people still talk about that one. Not just because it snagged a bunch of awards (yeah, the name’s fitting), but because it had this gritty underdog vibe. The story zeroed in on ambition, dreams, and all that messy stuff nobody likes to admit—failure, jealousy, getting back up after you’ve face-planted in public. It wasn’t just a sports flick, either. The characters had this raw, stubborn energy—especially the lead, who honestly felt like someone you’d meet at a local gym, sweat and all. Then comes "Patang" (2024), and man, talk about a flip. Sahni just swerves into this totally different lane. Instead of stadiums and medals, you get rooftops, tangled kites, and these bursts of color against a super blue sky. The film feels like nostalgia bottled up, but with this bittersweet kick. Family drama, chasing freedom, old-school rivalries—there’s so much packed in, you almost miss the details if you blink. Sahni really nails the feeling of being young, restless, and desperate to break free, even if it’s just for a few minutes. And "Badnaam" (2025)? Total curveball. Darker, grittier, and honestly pretty gutsy. The plot messes with your head—rumors flying, reputations tanking, this shadowy world where truth’s just a rumor itself. It’s less about heroes, more about survival and how fast things can unravel. Sahni’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, leaning into the chaos and mess of real life. The guy’s got range, no question.
