Sagar Das is a powerhouse in the world of choreography — a Dadasaheb Phalke Award-winning Song Director and Choreographer who began his journey with Chak De! India and hasn’t looked back since. With over 170 songs choreographed, multiple IIFA nominations, and work spanning across Bollywood and regional cinema, he has collaborated with top production houses like Yash Raj Films, Eros, and Applause. Known for directing iconic tracks like Ek Hockey Doongi Rakh Ke and Mara Gaya Hai, he’s also worked with international stars like Frieda Pinto and Sunny Leone. As the former President of the Indian Film & Television Choreographers Association, Sagar has led from the front — creatively and politically — and continues to redefine what choreography means in Indian cinema.
Sagar isn't just your average choreographer—he’s a director of choreography, a visionary who doesn’t just think about steps, but the entire story the dance tells. He spills the tea on how these roles aren’t interchangeable and why being a ‘choreographer’ in the traditional sense doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s all about setting the scene, shaping the shot, and making sure every angle speaks volumes.
From the untold behind-the-scenes chaos of Chakde India to the creative magic of Raavan, Sagar pulls back the curtain on his most iconic projects, giving you the real deal on what goes down before those dance numbers hit the screen. But here’s the kicker: It’s not all about the moves—Sagar’s insights on creativity, collaboration, and the balance between art and ego are absolute gold.
So, if you’re ready for a ride through Bollywood’s dance floor, where artistry meets reality, where respect is earned and creativity never dies, tune in now. Sagar’s not just a choreographer; he’s a master storyteller who’s got the moves to prove it.
