Dinesh Sudarshan Soi is among the best directors we have in the country. He is widely known for directing music videos, and the ace director has directed more than 50 music videos till date. For his spectacular work, he has been bestowed with Dadasaheb Phalke Icon Award Films for two consecutive times.

He is the only director to win this prestigious award twice. Dinesh Sudarshan Soi bagged the Dadasaheb Phalke Award Icon Award Films for the Best Debutant Director in 2020, and he received the Dadasaheb Phalke Icon Award Films 2021 earlier in November. The awards event was organised by Kalyanji Jana, founder and chairman of Dadasaheb Phalke Icon Award Films (DPIAF). Much before setting his foothold in 2020 as a music video director, Dinesh Sudarshan Soi explored different horizons as an actor and a casting director. He founded casting firm ‘Team DS Creations ™️’ which is now being handled by his wife Sonia Malhotra Soi, brother Deepak Soi and partner Gaurav Sharma.

The director’s debut music video ‘Tum Kaho Toh’ by Zee Music Company turned out to be a huge hit, and since then, he has never looked back. Some of the best works of Dinesh include ‘Dil Tune Toda Hai’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Mulakaatein’, ‘Yeh Galiyan Yeh Chaubara’ among other superhit musical melodies. While the director focuses to bring picturesque locales to life with his direction, it is also the storytelling that is of primary importance to him. It is perhaps one of the reasons why Dinesh Sudarshan Soi is the most sought-after name in the industry.

One of the best things about Dinesh Sudarshan Soi’s craft is that he knows how to deliver a story in musical form in a short time. On being the only director to achieve Dadasaheb Phalke Award for two consecutive years, Soi is proud and how! “Nothing can be compared to the love received from the audience. Awards and recognitions have always boosted my confidence, and it has motivated me to be a better version of myself. My daughter Maesha Soi is my lucky charm”, the director revealed.

The filmmaker’s forthcoming music videos include ‘Dil Hi Jaanta Hai’, ‘Adhoori’ ‘Akelapan’ ‘Behtar Tha’ and ‘Paaglon Sa Deewana’ which will be released soon. Besides this, there is also an interesting line up of projects produced under his home production DS Creations ™️ Entertainment as well as getting released on his music label DS Creations ™️ Music.
