It was probably Ray's over towering influence in childhood, which initiated Sen in to delving in filmmaking.

But despite his close association with Ray, Sen has consciously avoided Ray's style of filmmaking. "Ray is a fixation of Indian Filmmakers. We have to get out of his influence and make movies which are different, " he says.

Besides Ray, the person whose style influenced Sen the most was Jean Luc Godard. "We have to break all forms and all moulds to make Bengali film survive. Godard is our ideal," is Sen's frank admission. Incidentally Subrata Sen's second film, Swapner Feriwala, is a tribute to Godard.

His first film, "Ek Je Achhe Kanya" has been acknowledged by the Jadavpur University as the “First New wave Film” for the young generation in the post Satyajit Ray era. The film has been included in the University’s Film Studies course from 2002.
