Nikhil Parthasarathy

Nikhil Parthasarathy’s filmography is honestly all over the map, in the best way possible. There’s that electric energy running through “Rhythm” (2025), which doesn’t just ride on its title—it’s got this pulse, a kind of heartbeat that almost pulls you in by the collar. The way the story unfolds, you can tell Nikhil’s not afraid to mess around with structure. He’ll set you up with a scene that feels calm, maybe even a little too safe, and then—bam—some wild twist flips the whole vibe. Characters aren’t just cardboard cutouts either; they’re complicated, maybe even frustrating at times, but that’s what makes them stick with you. Then, “Roberrt” (2021) sort of swaggers onto the scene. It’s a total adrenaline rush, with a plot that keeps doubling back on itself. Family drama, action, a bit of that old-school masala—everything’s thrown in, and it somehow works. You’ll probably find yourself rooting for the so-called bad guy more than once, which is honestly kind of refreshing. Nikhil’s touch is all over it, with sharp dialogue and scenes that don’t drag, even when things get a little melodramatic. Now, “Nimitta Matra” (2025) is a whole different beast. There’s this philosophical bent running through it, but it’s not preachy. Instead, it kind of sneaks up on you, asking big questions without shoving answers down your throat. There’s a rawness to it, like everyone’s just a little bit on edge. It’s pretty clear Nikhil doesn’t like playing it safe, and thank god for that. If you’re into movies that actually leave you thinking (and maybe a little bit rattled), his stuff’s worth checking out.
