Sinha's "Ek Doctor Ki Maut" was based on "Abhimanyu," a story by Ramapada Choudhury. "Ek Doctor Ki Maut" has Shabana Azmi, Pankaj Kapoor, Irfan Khan and Anil Chaterji in the cast. In "Ek Doctor Ki Maut" there is a touch reminiscent of Ibsen. Dipankar Roy invents a vaccine for leprosy, but the entire community turns against him. In this work, Sinha examines the way society responds to the work. Vijeyandra Ghatge, Vasant Choudhury and Deepa Sahi have cameos in the film. "Talent is subject to ridicule. The more you excel the more number of enemies you seem to have: Why this animosity towards Excellence?" "Ek Doctor Ki Maut" won the Rajat Kamal for the second best feature film of the year, besides earning Sinha the Best Director Award.
