Personal Choices
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.
