Who Is Munish Raghuwanshi?
There is a certain kind of creator who quietly becomes every filmmaker’s favorite follow. Not the lifestyle vlogger. Not the red carpet personality. The person who helps you see why a scene works when you have only ever felt it.
That is where Munish Raghuwanshi lives.
Munish is a chemical engineer who escaped into filmmaking and you can feel that mix in his work. His videos are short and simple on the surface. Underneath, they are doing real surgical work on popular films and shows. He pulls apart how a scene teaches you its rules, how a director nudges your eye without you noticing, how a ridiculous premise keeps feeling grounded because the film keeps its own promises.
He did not take the familiar route through film school or assistant jobs. He learned how to break down complex systems in engineering, then turned that same brain on movies. He worked in operations, realized the thing he could not stop doing was reverse engineering what he watched, and started sharing that process in public.
He did not wait for someone to give him a class, a column, or a credit. He started doing the job in front of whoever would listen.
People did. His clips picked up momentum on Instagram and TikTok, enough that Canada’s Digital Creators Pilot Program tapped him as one of the voices worth backing. That support did not come because he is chasing hot takes. It came because his videos feel like sitting next to someone who loves movies as much as you do, but has language for what you are seeing.
He is not lecturing from a distance. He is translating the craft into something you can actually use.
Three Things We Love About Munish Raghuwanshi
He talks like a fan but thinks like an engineer: Munish’s videos feel like a movie night with a friend who genuinely loves what you are watching but cannot resist pulling apart how it works. That mix of enthusiasm and systems thinking makes his breakdowns clear without ever feeling dry.
Munish offers filmmakers language they did not know they were missing: He takes things you feel in a scene and turns them into patterns you can name. That helps emerging filmmakers talk about their own choices with more precision, whether they are working with collaborators or just trying to understand their instincts.
He is building a base, not chasing a moment: His work is steady, focused and intentional, which is why it makes sense that a program would back him as a long term bet. Munish is not trying to go viral once. He is building a community and a body of work he can grow from.
