The full index.

Eighteen disciplines, four departments, one production line — and tie-ups with OTT platforms at the end of it. Take all of it, or take the part you are missing.

Streaming & OTT

Tie-ups with OTT platforms.

We do not just make the series and hope it finds a home. Our tie-ups with OTT platforms mean web series and films are developed with a platform in view, produced to its delivery spec from day one, and handed over ready to stream.

Pitch us your series
01

Develop for the platform

Format, episode count, runtime and audience are shaped around what streaming platforms are commissioning — so the pitch lands as a show, not just a script.

02

Take it to the platform

Through our OTT tie-ups we put suitable projects in front of platform content teams for commissioning, co-production or licensing, and tell you early whether it fits a slate.

03

Produce to spec

Camera, codecs, colour space, audio stems and compliance deliverables are locked to the platform’s technical spec before the shoot, not discovered at QC.

04

Deliver & release

Masters, QC reports, subtitles, dubs, trailers and key art delivered to the platform, with the campaign cutdowns ready for launch week.

How it is organised

Four departments.

Every service above sits inside one of these four. They run as one line, not as four handoffs.

DEPT 01

Develop

Most films are fixed or broken here, before anyone touches a camera. We read what you have — a script, a deck, a brief, sometimes a sentence — and come back with a treatment, a shape and a number. If the idea does not work we say so at this stage, when saying so is cheap.

DEPT 02

Shoot

Our own camera and lighting package, our own grip truck, and a first AD whose job is to protect the day. Casting, recce, permits and unit logistics are handled by the production team rather than farmed out — so the schedule has no dependency on a vendor we do not control.

DEPT 03

Post

Edit, grade, sound and VFX under the same roof as the shoot, which means the DOP can walk into the grading suite and the director can sit in on the mix. Review happens at fixed checkpoints so revisions stay finite instead of drifting for a month.

DEPT 04

Deliver

A film is not finished until it plays correctly wherever it needs to play. We master to every spec you require, run the QC, handle subtitling and dubbing, and cut the campaign versions so you are not commissioning a second edit for social.

Common questions

Before you brief us.

What does a full-service production house actually cover?
Everything from the first script read to the final delivered master. That means development and treatment writing, budgeting, casting, location scouting and permits, the shoot itself with our own camera and lighting package, then edit, colour, sound, VFX and delivery in every format you need. You brief one team and receive one invoice.
Can we hire you for only one part — just the shoot, or just post?
Yes. Agencies can bring us in for production only, and other production houses can send us cuts for grade and mix. Because the suite and the floor are both ours, we can take either half of the job. We will tell you honestly if splitting the pipeline is going to hurt the result.
How much does a film cost?
It depends entirely on scope. Because we own the equipment, the gear line in our budgets carries no rental markup, which usually makes us competitive on kit-heavy jobs. We give a line budget broken down by department rather than a range once we understand the brief, and that number is what you are billed.
Can you get our film or web series onto an OTT platform?
Through our tie-ups with OTT platforms we can take suitable projects to platform content teams for commissioning, co-production or licensing, and we produce to their delivery specs from the start. Whether a platform picks a project up is always their call — but you will know early whether it fits their slate, before the money is spent.
What is an AI film, and do you still shoot for real?
An AI film uses generative tools for worlds, shots or sequences that would be impractical or impossible to film, finished by the same editors, colourists and sound team as any other project. Most of our AI work is blended with live action shot on our own floor, so you get the scale of generative imagery with performances and craft that hold up on a big screen.
Do you shoot outside Mumbai?
Yes — we are set up for it. Our kit travels with our own unit, so an out-of-state shoot does not mean sourcing unfamiliar gear locally. Permits, fixers, logistics and travel are planned and costed as part of the schedule.
What languages can you deliver in?
We deliver in Hindi, Marathi, English and the major South Indian languages, with subtitling and dubbing coordinated in-house as part of delivery. Tell us the languages you need at the briefing stage and we will build them into the schedule.
How long does a project take?
A single-day brand film is usually two to three weeks brief to master. A commercial with casting and multiple locations runs four to eight weeks. Documentaries and features are scoped individually. Because the gear and the suite are ours we are not waiting on anyone else's calendar — we commit to a date at the quoting stage and build the post schedule backwards from it.

Have a story to tell?

Send the brief, the deck, or a two-line idea — a producer replies within one working day.
