Photo-Prem Film

Winner of multiple awards, the Marathi film Photo-Prem is celebrated for its unique concept and heartfelt story. The movie follows Maee, a camera-shy housewife who realizes she has no good photographs of herself and sets out to conquer her fear of being photographed. The film features a powerful performance by Neena Kulkarni, who won Best Actress for her role.
Praised for its sensitive and simple storytelling, Photo-Prem had an impressive festival run. It was screened at some of India's most prestigious platforms, including the Mumbai International Film Festival (MAMI), the Indian Panorama section at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), and the Pune International Film Festival.

Shikaayatein Series

An anthology featuring a stellar ensemble of actors.

Shikaayatein is a film that uses sharp satire to explore the depths of human emotion. Featuring powerful performances from some of Indian cinema's finest actors, the movie reminds us that life is defined less by its end goal and more by its unpredictable journey.
Blending humor, heartbreak, and social commentary, Shikaayatein shows how we often cling to grudges and regrets, missing out on the true essence of living. Ultimately, the film delivers a powerful message: genuine freedom and joy are found not in winning, but in the act of forgiving and letting go.

A Bad Idea

Feature film as lead actor.

Bad Idea is a film where reality and imagination blend, creating an experience with multiple layers. It's more than a story; it's a puzzle that challenges viewers to question what they see and what is left unseen. Scenes shift between the real and the unreal until the two become indistinguishable, forcing the audience to confront the instability of their own perception.
The film never gives easy answers, instead daring you to embrace uncertainty and explore its deeper meanings. The result is a disorienting yet exhilarating ride that entertains with its wit and imagination, leaving your mind restless and searching for clarity long after the credits have rolled.

Kosala

Coming of edge drama in rural Maharastra.

Inspired by Bhalchandra Nemade’s classic novel, the Marathi film Kosala promises to be a groundbreaking work of Indian cinema. It captures the book's raw honesty and experimental spirit, following Pandurang Sangvikar, a restless young man whose sharp wit and disillusionment mirror the anxieties of his generation.
The film rejects traditional storytelling, unfolding as a series of fragmented observations and biting satire. It blurs the line between narrative and reflection, pulling viewers into Pandurang’s chaotic inner world. Much like the novel, Kosala offers no easy answers. Instead, it confronts us with life's hypocrisies and absurdities, leaving us profoundly moved and intellectually provoked. This film is set to be a timeless mark on Indian cinema.
