description: "Qaushiq Mukherjee, popularly known as Q, dubbed as \"India's most dangerous filmmaker\", is an independent film director known for his avant-garde cinematography. He is perhaps most famous for directing his controversial feature Gandu, which became the first Indian film to feature graphical nudity and unsimulated sex. Many of his films and webseries include such transgressive elements. An online magazine referred to him as the \"Gaspar Noe of India\"."
