Chakravorty's knowledge of world cinema is reflected in his reviews. He labels "just about everything that can projected on a screen" as his favourite kind of cinema, pointing out that good cinema isn't genre-specific.
He counts Charles Chaplin, Satyajit Ray, Woody Allen, Krzysztof Kieslowski and the Coen Brothers as directors whose works he loves to watch again and again.
A supporter of the new-age crossover cinema movement in India, Chakravorty welcomes the advent of new-generation Indian filmmakers such as Anurag Kashyap, Madhur Bhandarkar, Vishal Bhardwaj, Rajkumar Hirani, Dibakar Banerjee, Neeraj Pandey and Imtiaz Ali.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or choices:
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The traditional husband/father has always made choices concerning career, life-styles, values, and directions for the whole family, but he generally had another person on the team—called a wife. And his duties were always clear: Bring home the bacon and take out the garbage.”
—Donna N. Douglass (20th century)
