Abhijit Guha is an Indian film director, actor and writer working in the Bengali film industry.[1] Guha has worked together with Sudeshna Roy in the field of audio visuals since 1994.[2][3] The duo made their directorial debut with Shudhu Tumi.[4]. This duo debuted Abir Chatterjee with Cross Connection in 2009.[2] They gained prominence after their critically acclaimed film Teen Yaari Katha, which is a story of personal struggles and friendship of three lower-middle-class men.[5] Teen Yaari Katha was showcased at the Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema in 2012 and it travelled to the Bangkok International Film as well as Kolkata International Film Festival. Their film Bapi Bari Jaa is considered as classic among the Bangla film lovers for its coming of age storyline and relatable characters. It marked the debut of Arjun Chakraborty and Mimi Chakraborty.[6]

Their film Jodi Love Dilena Praane was another well received film and was selected in the Indian Panorama section of the International Film Festival of India in Goa in 2014.[7] It was showcased at the Pune Film Festival in India, and won a certificate of appreciation at the Fiji International Film Festival in 2015.

Benche Thakar Gaan, directed by the duo, ran in theatres for nine weeks and was selected as the inaugural film for the Kolkata International Film Festival. This was the first time in history that a Bengali language film was given this honour.[8] Their film Sraboner Dhara was a part of the Asian Select Competition Section KIFF 2019, Kolkata.[9] It was showcased in Toronto at the IFFSA fest in May 2019.
