Rajkummar Rao starrer Newton, directed by Amit Masurkar, is India's official entry to the Oscars this year, which has already been getting rave reviews from the critics and audience.
The film has cinematography by Swapnil Sonawane, who was a former student of Rajiv Menon's Mindscreen Film Institute. Swapnil’s cinematography emphasizes the jungle’s dusty tones and finds interesting vantage points to capture the action from, using some visually appealing wide-angle shots. Swapnil Sonawane, the cinematographer, chose to shoot the film in natural light so as to make it look real. Great care had to be taken to shoot scenes at the right time. A fair amount of research went there as well – in choosing the right camera and lenses.
A proud moment indeed for the esteemed institution.
