Director Jagmohan Mundhra

Jagmohan Mundhra followed a long road in Hollywood and then to Bollywood but finally achieved his quest to make meaningful movies. Mundhra told PIO TV he likes to inspire audiences to re-evaluate society’s position on controversial subjects. Born and brought up in Calcutta, India, Jag was first inspired by the legendary director Guru Dutt. But, like an obedient Indian son first fulfilled his family’s wishes and studied business. Coming to America culminated in achieving a Ph.D in marketing, specifically films. He taught at California State University Northridge in Los Angeles and dove head on into learning filmmaking. He set up the first Indian film theater in Los Angeles, then sold it to raise money for his first film “SURAAG” with Shabana Azmi. He followed it up with “KAMLA” that got Jag Mundhra some International press. The next movie “BAWANDAR” got him international acclaim and screened at various festival including the London Film Festival. Jag’s credible film-making aroused the interest of internationally acclaimed actress Aishwarya Rai and he went on to make “PROVOKED.” PIO TV sat down with Jag Mundhra to discuss his latest film, “SHOOT ON SIGHT” with Naseeruddin Shah. Jag smiles and adds that his plan is to simply continue his prolific career as a filmmaker making thought provoking films.
