Ashim Ahluwalia knows a thing or two about taking you on an adventure through his visual offerings.
Be it the world of John & Jane in call centres or the world of B and C grade actors in Miss Lovely, over the course of only two films, Ashim has defined his own propulsive visual vocabulary. In both films he adds his quirkiness, his edge and his very distinct voice, making him one of the most interesting filmmakers that the film industry has seen in recent times. He is unencumbered and far removed from the conundrums of the film fraternity, and is pretty much isolated living in a world of his own, making art, creating visuals, thinking ideas and bringing it all to life—his way with no short cuts, no compromises. I think it’s safe to say Ashim Ahluwalia does not comply with any norms, works outside the system and is his own master.
This month, we will see his latest directorial venture, Daddy, a film based on the life of gangster Arun Gawli, a very intriguing character sucked into a world unplanned. Needless to say, with the sheer look of the film it sure will be super thrilling and once again transport us to a world known yet unknown.
