Sircar made his directorial debut with the romantic war drama Yahaan (2005).

His next film Piku (2015) received widespread critical acclaim upon release and emerged as a major box-office success, and earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Film (Critics). His home production, the legal thriller Pink (2016), won the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues. Sircar subsequently directed and produced the coming-of-age drama October (2018) and the Amazon Prime Video's comedy Gulabo Sitabo (2020).
