Fahad Nandu

Fahad Nandu, yeah, the guy’s not exactly a household name yet, but you’ve probably seen his work floating around if you keep an eye on indie cinema. He’s basically the brains behind Digital Village (2023) — a film that dives straight into the chaos of modern rural India trying to keep up with the digital age. It’s not your typical tech-gone-wrong story; it’s got heart. Imagine a dusty village suddenly obsessed with Wi-Fi and smartphones, everyone from the cranky old grandpa to the sassy school kids. There’s plenty of comedy, a bit of drama, and a wild look at how the internet shakes up age-old traditions. Fahad nails the vibe, making you laugh one minute and kinda sad the next. And then there’s Pariwar (2025) on the horizon. Word is, he’s doubling down on family drama, but with his signature twist. No spoilers, obviously, but early buzz says it’s about this big, messy family dealing with secrets, sibling rivalry, and a whole lot of backstabbing. It’s supposed to be relatable — like, you watch it and think, “Yeah, my family’s got issues too, but at least we’re not *that* wild.” Fahad’s got a knack for writing characters who feel real, flaws and all. You watch his stuff and can’t help but root for these weirdos. He’s one of those filmmakers who isn’t afraid to poke fun at cultural quirks while still showing a lot of love for where he comes from.
