Saneesh Stantly

Saneesh Stantly, a name that’s been popping up more and more if you’re into Indian cinema with a bit of an edge. The guy’s got this way of weaving stories that don't just sit pretty—they kinda grab you by the collar. People started really noticing him after "Night Drive" dropped in 2022. That film, man, it’s not your run-of-the-mill thriller. Instead of just focusing on car chases and flashy drama, Saneesh digs into the weird, tense stuff that happens in the middle of the night—like what’s actually lurking behind those headlights or how a single decision can flip your whole life upside down while everyone else is asleep. There’s always this sneaky sense of dread in his work, but he doesn’t hit you over the head with it. It’s more like, you’re laughing one second and then suddenly you’re like, “Wait, this is messed up.” Then comes "Azadi" in 2025, and that’s a whole new vibe. The movie is supposed to poke at the idea of freedom—not the cheesy, poster-on-the-wall kind, but the complicated, messy kind that gets tangled up with real people’s lives. Saneesh doesn’t shy away from tough questions or the ugly side of things. He’s got this knack for characters who feel like someone you might actually run into on the street, not just cardboard cutouts. If you’re tired of predictable plots and want something that actually stirs you up a bit, his stuff is definitely worth a look. Plus, it’s just cool to see someone take risks and not play it safe for once.
