Kunal Kundu
Kunal Kundu’s filmography is honestly a wild little ride through some of Bollywood’s bigger commercial flicks of the last decade. You’ve got Dilwale from 2015—yeah, the one that basically tossed Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol into a blender of car chases, comedy, and melodrama. Honestly, it’s not the kind of film you watch for a quiet evening, unless your idea of “quiet” is cars flipping over and people shooting sappy one-liners at each other in the rain. Then there’s Chennai Express, which dropped in 2013 and kind of exploded. Deepika Padukone throwing in that thick accent, SRK running around southern India getting into all sorts of nonsense—Kunal was involved there too, and you can feel that over-the-top, masala energy all through the movie. Heropanti, from 2014, was Tiger Shroff’s big intro to Bollywood. It’s got all the classic beats—young guy falls for a girl, there’s drama with her family, and suddenly everyone’s busting out martial arts moves like they’re in a video game. These movies share this weird, colorful, larger-than-life vibe, and Kunal Kundu seems to be one of those behind-the-scenes folks who helped crank that dial up to eleven. The guy’s name doesn’t shout from the poster, but if you’re into high-energy, popcorn-munching Bollywood, his work has probably smacked you in the face already. Not subtle stuff, but hey, sometimes you just want to watch the world burst into song and dance, right?
