About the Book

Amar Dekha by Nitish Roy offers an extraordinary glimpse into the life and experiences of one of India’s most celebrated art directors. From his early days as a passionate student at Kolkata’s Government Art College to achieving nationwide acclaim for his work on Mrinal Sen’s film Kharij, Nitish Roy’s journey is a testament to talent, dedication, and perseverance. His debut earned him the National Film Award, followed by a remarkable career in Bollywood, Tollywood, and even Hollywood, cementing his legacy as a legendary figure in the world of cinema.

In this book, Nitish Roy recounts encounters with 54 extraordinary personalities — from globally renowned filmmakers, producers, and actors to lesser-known individuals who influenced his journey. These stories reveal both the glamour and the unseen moments of cinema, providing an inspiring, heartfelt, and deeply personal narrative. While students of cinema may find it an essential study, general readers will savor it as a collection of engaging and delightful vignettes, akin to a series of rich and sweet chocolates.

Amar Dekha is a captivating memoir that celebrates art, cinema, and the remarkable people who shape the creative world.
