Aandhiyan (1990)

In this heartfelt drama from the early 90s, he showcased charm and screen presence that hinted at his future promise. This film paired him with a beloved Bollywood star family, helping him connect with Hindi audiences early in his career. Even with a romantic storyline, his expressive eyes and emotional vulnerability stood out.

Meherjaan (2011)

A deeply emotional film based on the Bangladesh Liberation War, this role revealed a more mature Prosenjit. He portrayed a character caught between love and trauma, delivering nuanced silence and expressive pain.
