Soumya Nandy

Soumya Nandy, born November 3rd, 1995, hails from Barasat, West Bengal. Yeah, he’s one of those bookworms—graduated in English Lit from Calcutta University back in 2018 and then went full-on nerd with an M.A. in Comparative Literature from Jadavpur. The writing bug bit him during college, but honestly, jumping into the film world? That was never on his bingo card. Life’s got a sense of humor, huh? So, cut to 2019: Soumya dives headfirst into writing for films. His first shot? “Felunather Marksheet,” a TV movie that put him on the map. Not exactly an overnight sensation, but not shabby either. Besides screenwriting, he’s juggling gigs as an editorial and special correspondent for a bunch of respected dailies. Guy barely sleeps, probably runs on caffeine and deadlines. What’s wild is Soumya’s voice—there’s a freshness to his scripts, a mix of classic literary flair and this sharp, contemporary edge. It’s not just about putting words on paper; he’s got this knack for digging up stories from everyday life and spinning them into something a little larger than life. Sure, he might’ve started out thinking he’d end up as a novelist or maybe a shy poet, but now he’s weaving tales for the screen and making a solid name for himself in the Bengali film scene. Not bad for a guy who “never thought” he’d be here.
