Sagar Mahtani
Sagar Mahtani’s filmography is honestly a wild ride through different genres and moods. Sampai Ajal Memisahkan (2021) is one of those movies that just sticks with you—like, it’s got this bittersweet vibe about love and loss, but not in a cheesy way. The characters feel raw, like they’ve actually lived through some stuff. The storytelling isn’t afraid to get messy, and you can tell Mahtani’s not holding back emotionally. There’s just something about the way the film explores commitment, not just as a fluffy promise, but as something that's actually tested by real life’s curveballs.
Skip ahead to Hitmen (2023) and it’s a whole different beast. We're talking slick action, dark humor, and a kind of gritty underbelly that makes you wonder if you should be rooting for these guys or running in the opposite direction. Mahtani’s got a knack for pacing—never dragging, always keeping you on your toes. The dialogue snaps, and there’s this undercurrent of tension that keeps the whole thing buzzing. It's stylish, but not in that empty, trying-too-hard way. There’s substance under the swagger.
And then Perewangan (2024) rolls around, and—wow—Mahtani dives headfirst into supernatural territory. It’s creepy, unpredictable, and super atmospheric. Ghosts, folklore, and that uneasy feeling that maybe the real monsters are the living. He blends traditional myths with modern anxieties, and it doesn’t feel forced at all. Each film feels totally different, but you can spot his signature—risk-taking, emotional honesty, and a refusal to play it safe. Honestly, you never quite know what you’ll get, and that’s exactly why his movies are worth checking out.
