His first big break as independent director ironically was a commercial on football, which he followed with a music video, 'MANN KE MANJEERE'. There Shoojit handled backstage, across all departments - giving him the experience of creating theatre with minimalist resources, along with being rooted in the rigor and discipline that comes with living the life of theatre. Another important turning point in his journey was when he joined 'ACT ONE', a theatre group in Delhi, led by director, Mr.N.K. There are three films however besides Ray's 'Pather Panchali' that Shoojit specifically credits for giving 'birth to the cinema within him' and for encouraging him to look at everything in life, differently these are - Truffaut's '400 Blows', Vittorio De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves' and Oliver Stone's "Platoon". Curious and much impacted by this 'art form', Shoojit went on to watch the entire 'Apu trilogy' including 'Aparijito' (The Unvanquished) and 'The World of Apu' and all other films by Ray, besides films by film-makers Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. The film was Satyajit Ray's 'Pather Panchali' ('Song of the Little Road'). Unbeknownst to Sircar, this film would mark for him the beginning of a whole new way of looking at life.
