Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane has a unique approach to his past work,

stating that he tends not to revisit it because he tends to nitpick and find aspects for improvement. However, he did make an exception for one of his films.

Motwane revealed that he returned to his 2010 directorial debut, “Udaan,” a highly acclaimed coming-of-age Hindi drama, primarily out of curiosity. When asked about whether he re-watches his own movies, he “I don’t. I haven’t. The only film of mine I’ve actually seen back is ‘Udaan,’ out of pure curiosity. Like one of those morbid curiosity things. I was actually doing data management on my computer, like deleting some stuff, and I put it on. And then I started to watch it, and then I was like, oh, let me just see it. But I haven’t seen any of my (other) work.”

Motwane shared these insights during the second edition of The Himalayan Film Festival, where two episodes of his web series “Jubilee” were screened. Known for his work in films like “Lootera,” “Bhavesh Joshi,” and the web series “Sacred Games,” he explained that he is aware of what improvements he could have made in each of his works, which is why he typically refrains from revisiting them.
