What films did Shoojit Sircar watch as a child? And how did those childhood experiences shape the filmmaker he would become? Welcome to the first episode of Growing Up With Cinema, a series where I sit down with artists who have inspired me to explore the films, stories, and experiences that shaped their childhood and influenced their creative journeys. For our very first episode, I couldn't have asked for a better guest than Shoojit Sircar, the acclaimed Indian film director known for films like Vicky Donor, Madras Cafe, Piku, October, Gulabo Sitabo, and Sardar Udham. In this conversation, we revisit his childhood memories, his early relationship with cinema, the films that influenced his imagination, and the experiences that helped shape his distinctive approach to storytelling and filmmaking.
