Sanjay Amar

From the remote village in Jammu & Kashmir to the unforgiving heartbeat of Mumbai's film industry, Sanjay Amar's journey is a story in itself-raw, restless, and relentlessly human. His earliest brush with cinema wasn't fiction, but reality, captured unflinchingly in Halaat Ke Shikaar-a searing documentary series on the victims of militancy, aired by Doordarshan. But his path was never linear. In 2009, Sanjay pivoted to animation with Bo Mamo, a cross-continental collaboration with Arabic Broadcast Content in Dubai. His feature debut, Future To Bright Hai Ji (2012), was anything but typical-a tender yet audacious take on aspiration, soaked in simplicity and cultural depth. Two years later, he laid the foundation of Amar Chand Motion Pictures, a banner dedicated to telling stories that resist the expected and wrestle with the essential. As a producer, his first film Identity Card - Ek Lifeline didn't just premiere-it pierced. A provocative narrative on power, surveillance, and belonging, it blurred the line between cinema and conscience. Whether it's a raw documentary, a hand-drawn frame, or a cinematic reel, Sanjay Amar doesn't just make films-he etches emotion. His work doesn't aim to please. It aims to reveal. To disturb. To humanize.Because for Amar, storytelling isn't escape-it's excavation. A mirror held to conflict. A torch held to hope. And some stories, like his, are destined not just to be told-but to be felt.
