#NishikantKamat RIP ... You are one person Tamil industry failed to recognize and celebrate. Atleast now they'll come to know you are the one who made #EvanoOruvan with @ActorMadhavan .

Sad Year, Indeed
I saw Mumbai Meri Jaan and Drishyam(Hindi remake), both made by Nishikant Kamat. And both had a strong impact on me. It's really a sad year as we bid goodbye to another gem of Indian cinema. RIP #NishikantKamat

Drishyam became one of my favorites after watching it for the first time.
Such a meritorious film with a meritorious direction.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to be an audience to such artworks anymore as the creator is no more with us.
Rest in peace #NishikantKamat 🙏 pic.twitter.com/1oetBfVV5X

Gem Of a Filmmaker
#NishikantKamat left us.2020 is 😑
I really enjoyed his earlier directorial ventures Domvibli Fast, Mumbai Meri Jaan. Also liked him as an actor in 404 error not found (underrated gem), Rocky Handsome and criminally ignored Bhavesh Joshi Superhero..

He later on helmed more movies including Lai Bhaari, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Rocky Handsome, Madaari, Daddy, Drishyam, Bhavesh Joshi to name a few. May his soul rest in peace.
