Raised in the shadow of Mumbai’s Metro and Liberty cinemas, Manas Takle’s gaze was shaped by the rhythm of the big screen. Influenced by Coppola, Kiarostami, and Guru Dutt, his work leans into silence, human emotion, and lived-in realism.

Trained under Adi Pocha and mentored by Sudeep Chatterjee ISC, he crafts images that feel observed rather than performed.

Cinema, for him, is instinct before technique.
