:Draft:Ron Raj

Ron Raj, is an Indian film director, known for his works in Bengali cinema. His first collaboration with veteran actor Ritwick Chakraborty & Indraneil Sengupta brought him into the limelight. His first feature independent periodical crime drama film Porichoy Gupta (Tale of the Identity), was a critical and commercial success, where he wrote the screenwriting with Chakraborty in mind.

Ron’s work regularly features in the listings of best films of the Bengali film industry. Infused with a metaphysical outlook, his films thematise epistemology, existentialism, ethics, the construction of time,

and the malleable nature of memory and personal identity. They feature mathematically inspired images and concepts, unconventional narrative structures, practical special effects, experimental soundscapes, large-format film photography, and materialistic perspectives.

Ron was born on 19 June 1991 and brought up in Madarat village of Baruipur in South 24 Parganas district near Kolkata to Sanjit Kumar Dey and Uma Dey. His father was an executive of Burn Standard Company Limited who worked as a Supervisor. His mother was a housewife; she would later work as a worker for ASHA.

After studying in Baruipur High School till class 10, went to Harinavi DVAS High School for graduation in Science. Then, in the third year of studying computer engineering in techno india group, my love for film came to the fore. This love turns into obstinacy due to the untimely death of the friend and his aunt's daughter. Aunty's daughter got him addicted to watching films from his teenage years, a bit too much. On the other hand, childhood love gets married elsewhere. As the saying goes, creation comes from crisis. That's it. The strange thing is that Ron thought from a young age, "If you don't lose anything, you can't become an artist", so he used to say to God - “he also wants to be an artist, God will give him all the joys and sorrows that he needs. Maybe he could not understand that this is the future!”

Growing up in various financial crises since childhood. During school life, his father's job left, and he had to face a lot of harsh words from his relatives. Growing up in this way, he has mastered the technique of making friends with all classes of people very easily. Ron always says that society and circumstances help people to choose their path.

Growing up, Ron was particularly influenced by the work of Alfred Hitchcock and the crime thriller films The Godfather Trilogy and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. He would repeatedly watch the latter film and extensively research its making. Ron began making films at the age of twenty, borrowing his friend’s Nikon Camera and shooting short films with his imaginary figures. He started with short films together with some drama friends and acquaintances. The beginning was making a short film on passion.

Ron conceived the idea for his first feature, Porichoy Gupta (2020), which he directed. None of us can go outside of society and relationships; he thinks if we look at reality, none of us likes to bring our identity forward. Likes to keep secret or hidden. It is everyone's story, not about any particular person. A story of finding our own identity. This story will reveal the innocent truth of good and evil. The meaning of my name is also very relevant to this movie. Ron Raj means the one who wins the war. This story of victory in the battle of life is a mystery. So this story is not about any period. This story is about keeping ourselves hidden regardless of place, time and place - the secret of identity.
