The Anurag Kashyap & Kay Kay Menon partnership

They saved their best for last — Shahid (7.7/10) came 10 years in. From Paanch (2003) to Bombay Velvet (2015). Shahid is the one most viewers reach for.

It started with Paanch (2003).

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Gulaal; the 2010s to Shahid. Never on the same side of the camera — Anurag Kashyap director, Kay Kay Menon actor, across all 5 films. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

5 films across 2 decades

The 2010s brought 3 films together, anchored by Shahid (7.7/10).
