Surinder Duhra
Surinder Duhra’s filmography is a bit of a rollercoaster ride through genres and moods, not to mention a showcase for some serious versatility. If you know “Cruella” from 2021, you already get the vibe—bold, stylish, a little bit wicked, and a whole lot of fun. Duhra’s involvement in that film isn’t just a footnote; it’s a testament to someone who knows how to work on a project that’s all about reinvention and visual flair. “Cruella” isn’t your average origin story. It’s punk rock meets high fashion in 1970s London, with Duhra helping to breathe life into a world that’s equal parts glamour and chaos. The energy just leaps off the screen.
Jump over to “Hereafter” from 2010, and you’re dealing with something way different. This film is moody, contemplative, and honestly, a bit haunting. It weaves together three storylines about people grappling with mortality and the unknown, and Duhra’s touch is subtle but impactful. There’s a quiet intensity in the way the story unfolds, and it stays with you, like a song you can’t get out of your head.
Then there’s “The Contract” (2016), which swings back to suspense and action. It’s gritty, tense, and moves at a brisk pace. Duhra seems to have a knack for elevating whatever project he’s attached to, making even familiar tropes feel fresh. All in all, the guy’s resume is proof that he can dip into all sorts of genres and bring something unique every single time.
