Madhur Bhandarkar, National Award-winning film director said that aspiring Film directors should have strong conviction in their stories. He was part of Masterclassย on โ€˜Filmmakingโ€™, held as part of the 52nd International Film Festival of India.

The concept of my film always originates from me. I believe in myself and my stories. When I attain strong conviction in a story, then only I go for the film.

What the camera catches stays there for lifetime, so the pace of the film must be very engaging, added Madhur Bhandarkar. He said,

I always try to maintain balance between Art and Commercial films and make engaging films based on realistic plots.

While interacting with the cinephiles, he said, โ€œThese days the OTT platforms provide good opportunity to the aspiring directors and producers.โ€

Chandni Bar boosted my trust and confidence to move ahead said the Director of award-winning films likeย Page 3ย andย Traffic Signal while narrating his cinematic journey. โ€œI was there in the movie from beginning till end. Though it was a dark and depressive film, it was engaging, and it workedโ€.

Talking about his future plan, he said: โ€œWe went through a very tough and testing time during the pandemic period. So now I am going to start work for a comedy film very soon.โ€

The Masterclass was moderated by noted film critic Taran Adarsh. The session ended with felicitation of Madhur Bhandarkar and Taran Adarsh by National award-winning director Nila Madhab Panda.
