Smita Mukherjee
@smitamukherjee
I’m a screenwriter and script doctor delivering top-rated TV and film stories.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a screenwriter and script doctor with 70+ episodes written for Indian television, including long-running crime franchise work on C.I.D. I build scripts that sustain strong audience pull, from true-crime episodic storytelling to supernatural romance and crime-thriller anthologies.
Across OTT, feature films, books, and AI-driven storytelling, I focus on craft-first story development—rom-com treatments, full feature screenplays, and genre-bending story bibles. I also train in AI tools for entertainment and film production, including generative image/video/voice AI and AI-assisted scriptwriting and pre-visualisation workflows.
