Ritesh Shastri

Ritesh Shastri’s filmography is honestly a mixed bag, but that’s what makes him interesting. Take "Hisaab Barabar" (2024), for example. It’s not your standard Bollywood fare—none of that sugarcoated romance or over-the-top action. Nope, this one’s more grounded. The movie chucks you right into the middle of a small-town drama where debts—yeah, both emotional and literal—pile up faster than chai at a roadside stall. The characters are flawed, painfully real, and you can totally see bits of your own neighbors or family in them. There’s tension, awkward silences, unspoken grudges, and that one uncle who always thinks he’s right (spoiler: he’s not). Now, flip the coin, and you land on "The Great Indian Disruptors" (2022). Wildly different vibe. This isn’t fiction, it’s a docuseries that digs into the guts of India’s startup boom. Forget those sanitized entrepreneur success stories you hear at networking events. This series gets messy, highlighting the hustle, the sleepless nights, and the family WhatsApp groups blowing up with unsolicited advice. You get to peek behind the curtain at the folks who are actually stirring the pot, not just cashing in. It’s got ambition, sure, but also a healthy dose of skepticism and reality checks. Shastri’s projects aren’t just about entertainment—they poke at social norms, challenge the status quo, and, honestly, make you wonder why we put up with so much nonsense in the first place. So whether you’re in for gritty drama or real-life disruption, his stuff doesn’t just pass the time; it sticks with you.
