Movies Are The Mirror Of Who We Are: Nandita Das

The entertainment industry has a multitude of talents and huge revenue profit. A part of the industry is actor and director Nandita Das, who uses empathy as a key aspect in her storytelling.

Das recently directed ‘Zwigato’ - a film that revolves around the working pattern of food delivery riders. Sensitively handled, the film has been garnering appreciation from all quarters.

While speaking at BW Businessworld Future of Design Summit & Awards 2023, Das said that films are the mirror of who we are. “Films are a graceful way of storytelling. Art remains a means to an end when you decide to tell a story. How you tell it is important” she said.

Das is known for making films on social issues that have the ability to touch people. "Empathy is central to one’s being, invoking empathy through our work is the ultimate goal," she said.

Talking about ‘creativity’ she spoke about her father, the renowned artist Jatin Das. Creativity is not something out of the world. You absorb it when you look around if you are observant and care for nature, as nature is the mother of all creativity, she said.
