"The first image a cinematographer captures is never on film. It is captured deep within memory."
For cinematographer and musician Nigam Bomzan, that image was his infant sister in a polka-dot frock, bathed in soft Himalayan light and mountain mist. Decades later, that childhood memory still dictates how he shapes light and longing in cinema.

In this evocative and free-flowing episode of 'The Pooja Bhatt Show', we journey with Nigam from the hills of Darjeeling to the shimmering madness of Bollywood.

Having lived through cinema’s greatest transitions - the tactile poetry of celluloid to the digital revolution and now the unsettling rise of artificial intelligence, Nigam reflects on a vital question for our times...can a machine ever truly generate beauty? Can it ache? Can it dream in fog, or carry memory?

Pooja and Nigam pull back the curtain on their own iconic collaboration: the erotic-thriller blockbuster Jism 2. Together, they shatter the glamour of the adult love story, revealing the surprisingly cold, technical and dreary reality of choreographing and shooting intimate lovemaking scenes.

But the creative fire between director and cinematographer is far from extinguished. In a thrilling segment for cinephiles, the duo cements a definitive promise to reunite for the franchise's highly anticipated sequel, Jism 3.

Tune in for a deep dive into the geography of light, the rhythm of visual storytelling and why, even in the age of AI, the ultimate camera remains the human heart.
