== Filmmaking style ==
In the initial days of his film-making career, he worked as an associate with Rajkumar Hirani. He assisted him in ''[[Lage Raho Munna Bhai]]'' and ''[[3 Idiots]]'', besides working in a few commercial shoots. He attributes his style of film-making as one which is inspired from Rajkumar Hirani. He mentioned in an interview that he got his knack of telling relatable human stories from Hirani, who told him that well scripted life stories always appeal to human emotions.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ghoshal |first1=Sharmistha |title=Debutant filmmaker Avijit Sen talks about his film Tonic starring Dev and Paran Bandyopadhyay |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/international/interviews/2022/Jan/03/debutant-filmmaker-avijit-sen-talks-about-his-film-tonic-starring-dev-and-paran-bandyopadhyay-28794.html |access-date=6 April 2025 |work=[[Indian Express|Cinema Express]] |date=3 January 2022}}</ref>

His films are centered around the issues persistent in our everyday life and the sufferings faced by a common man in the society owing to those issues. All of his stories display deep emotional attachment and detachments among the various relations in a family. His films are usually not centered around a conventional lead "hero and heroine" but focus on the cavernous bonding between the lead hero and one to two senior parallel lead characters. Vivid backgrounds and vibrant cinematographic shots, coupled with closeup shots and monologues with specific focus on the emotions displayed by the characters are a signature style of his movies. The story also includes several other actors, who play pivotal roles of close relatives or acquaintance of the leads. Actors like Biswajit Sen and Kharaj Mukherjee are present in all of his films to add to the humour quotient of the films.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chatterjee |first1=Arindam |title=The blockbuster trio of Dev, Avijit Sen and Atanu Raychaudhuri have come together with the new film Pradhan |url=https://t2online.in/music/western/the-blockbuster-trio-of-dev,-avijit-sen-and-atanu-raychaudhuri-have-come-together-with-the-new-film-pradhan/386456 |access-date=16 April 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|t2 Online]] |date=25 September 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Avijit Sen calls Dev natural actor, says Mithun Chakraborty's eyes speak more than words |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/avijit-sen-calls-dev-natural-actor-says-mithun-chakrabortys-eyes-speak-more-than-words/articleshow/97118233.cms |access-date=23 April 2025 |work=[[Times of India]] |date=19 January 2023}}</ref>
