Karan Kandhari is a British Indian film director, screenwriter and cinematographer.

In 2009, Kandhari directed the short film Hard Hat, a melancholy tale of three immigrants who meet on a cash-in-hand construction job in London. The film was selected for numerous film festivals around the world, winning the Audience Award at the Rushes Soho Short Film Festival in 2010.[1] In 2024, his directorial debut film Sister Midnight had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.[2][3]

Critical response

"There is evidence of better things to come from British Asian directors, as Karan Kandhari demonstrates with Bye Bye Miss Goodnight. Offering a uniquely avant-garde snapshot of modern urban India, this visually ambitious road movie belies its modest budget to chronicle the unlikely encounter between a daydreaming Mumbai cabby and a pregnant, hitchhiking free spirit." - David Parkinson, BBC Film[4]
