Anil Mehta took us through the Highway in the movie of the same name. He captured Alia Bhatt's emotions against a background which helped us understand her mood better.

Mahesh Aney went on to become director of photography in one of his earlier films Swades. Right from capturing the emotions of villagers, to showing how they lived, his camera lived up to expectations.

Anay managed to shoot Fitoor aesthetically and as true as possible with his lens. He also played around with colours and patterns, giving some effect to the scene too.

Ship of Theseus is one of the most underrated films of all time. The movie's cinematography was of International standards and one has to see it to believe Pankaj Kumar's work behind the lens.

Pawel Dyllus, who has worked on short films, documentary films and TV series too, was the man behind the lens for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya.
