A quick look at his repertoire is revealing - Aparna Sen's 36 Chowringhee Lane, Paroma, Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen, Shyam Benegal's Mandi and Trikaal - which is shot almost entirely in candle light, Shashi Kapoor's Utsav, Subhash Ghai's Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak and Kisna and M F Hussain's Gaja Gamini.
