Rajeev Masand

Indian Film Guru

Former film critic and journalist Rajeev Masand holds a very special honour in every Indian cinephile's heart - he is the film guru and expert who undoubtedly has the last word on all things film. His in-depth analyses and signature say-it-like-it-is style has earned Indian film criticism a seat at the table of global film culture, bringing international recognition to the often-undervalued profession in India. He has interviewed some of the most renowned names in world cinema such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Guy Ritchie, and M Night Shyamalan alongside ace Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, he serves as Chief Operating Officer of Dharma Cornerstone, where he continues to bridge the gap between excellent cinema and hungry audiences. He is also one of the many prestigious members of the IFFM Awards jury.
