Anand Tucker: Movies & Box Office

Anand Tucker (born 24 June 1963) is a well-renowned film director and producer who originally hails from Bangkok, Thailand. He kickstarted his career initially directing factual television programming and adverts, which allowed him to thoroughly understand the intricacies of medium and storytelling techniques.

(2007), 'Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1983' (2009), and 'Leap Year' (2010). His latest masterpiece, 'The Critic', came out in 2023.
