Regardless of the subject, be it about going on a honeymoon before marriage (Cross Connection), voyeurism (Teen Yaari Kotha), or even unrequited love (Jodi Love Dile Na Prane) — all their movies have a fresh and non-preachy approach. They came into prominence after their critically acclaimed<ref>{{Citation|title=Teen Yaari Katha Movie Review {4/5}: Critic Review of Teen Yaari Katha by Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/teen-yaari-katha/movie-review/13124245.cms|access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref> film [[Teen Yaari Katha|Teen Yaari Kotha]].

Sraboner Dhara was released on 7 February 2020 in India and was running to full houses on its 6th week when the COVID-19 lockdown cut it short.

Besides, directing films and TV series, he has also acted in many films. Perhaps, he has played small roles almost in all the films that he has directed. His comic timing in those films is impeccable Recently, he has been playing the role of Jibon Da in the extremely popular web series [[Dupur Thakurpo]]. His chemistry with the lead actress of the show [[Swastika Mukherjee]] is very much loved by the viewers.
