Episode 41: Rohini Jadhav

Podcast Art for Season 2 Episode 41 with Rohini Jadhav

Indian cinema is the largest national film industry in terms of the number of films produced, with 2,446 feature films produced annually as of 2019. But until today...I haven't talked about it for the podcast. That changes with the extraordinary story of Rohini Jadhav, who recently filmed her debut short ANOKHI.

In this episode, we talk about her journey from architect to Hollywood; how the world of production design fits for those used to constructing buildings; the type of stories that aren't being told in Indian and South Asian communities; the importance of spouses, partners, and family for indie filmmakers; the state of Indian independent film; and what's next for this exciting new voice in filmmaking.

Rohini's Indie Film Highlight: HALWA (2018) dir. by Gayatri Bajpai and Nirav Bhakta; FOUR SAMOSAS (2022) dir. by Ravi Kapoor; THREE OF US (2022) dir. by Avinash Arun; POLITE SOCIETY (2023) dir. by Nida Manzoor; A DEATH IN THE GUNJ (2016) dir. by Konkona Sen Sharma; Guneet Monga Kapoor; THE ELEPHANT WHISPERERS (2022) dir. by Kartiki Gonsalves
