Vikas Vasistha

Vikas Vasistha's filmography is honestly a pretty wild ride through different worlds, and he doesn’t really stick to one lane. First up, you’ve got Cinema Vehicle (2021), which is exactly as wacky as it sounds. It's this meta-comedy where a literal car becomes the centerpiece—a battered old vehicle that’s seen more drama than your last group chat. Instead of being just a prop, the car’s almost a character, dragging its owner and a ragtag bunch of wannabe filmmakers into a series of ridiculous, sometimes borderline tragic, adventures around the city. Every dent in the bumper’s got a backstory, and yeah, the film gets a little self-aware about the whole “art imitating life” thing. You can’t help but roll your eyes, but in a good way. Then there’s Mukhachitram (2022), which goes a whole different direction. Here, Vikas is part of a psychological thriller that leans hard into identity, masks—both literal and metaphorical—and secrets. The plot’s tight, with twists that actually catch you off guard (which, let’s be real, doesn’t happen much these days). It’s got courtroom drama, medical ethics, betrayals; you keep thinking you’ve figured out who’s lying, then bam, the movie flips it around on you. It’s unsettling, but in that delicious, can’t-stop-watching way. Neethone Nenu (2023) is more of a slow-burn romance, but not the sappy kind. It’s messy, raw, sometimes painfully honest about relationships and expectations. Vikas’ character is stubborn but weirdly likable, dealing with love in a world that’s changed faster than he has. Doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and that’s the charm. So yeah, if you’re into unpredictable stories that actually have something to chew on, Vasistha’s movies are worth a shot.
