Our Films

'Tigadi' aka '3-Some'

As different as Neha, Gulli and Pooja are, the three friends are united by one thing - life in the (now) middle class refugee colony of Malviya Nagar. And their desire to break free of it. Tigadi is set in 90's Delhi, when freedom looked different for women in the brink of adulthood. Neha, Gulli and Pooja navigate romances gone wrong, class struggles, and shameful secrets, all aided by their one weapon - their chaotic joyful friendship.

'Victor Be-Taal'
aka 'Off Key Victor'

It's all false notes for our three lovers - the unmusical Victor, the free-spirited Alisha and victor's friends with benefits Beena, who secretly loves him. A dissonant love triangle unfolds in a once-royal, now dusty town of washermen, shamans and brass bands who take Victor on a journey. That, the music was in front of him all along.

'Paaltu' aka 'The Pet'

A man finds a strange cat in the forest and decides to keep it as a pet; but he soon realises it's not a cat but a demon from another dimension, one that is manipulating him to commit unspeakable evil.

Birdie

Raised in a Prison, Birdie yearns to break free after his friend Gunu opens his eyes to the limitless world outside of malls, sunsets, and ice creams. Meanwhile, his mother Radha, serving a life sentence, knows that Birdie will be sent to foster care as soon as he turns six. Two race in opposite directions as playful Birdie dreams of the outside world while Radha tries her best to keep him with her despite the perils of prison.

'Pokhar Ke Dunu Paar'
aka 'On EIther Sides of the Pond'

Sumit and Priyanka, an eloped couple, return to their hometown, due to the financial hardships caused by the lockdown. As Priyanka seeks to leave Sumit and return to her conservative father's home, Sumit, oblivious to this, wastes his time away.

The Team

r Prashanth (director) is the resident Geek…the (Wise) Owl in The Singing Owl!
When he is not giving Cinephiles an acute complex he slaughters on the Development table. During his last stint at Lionsgate India, he collaborated closely with creators on developing concepts and shows in-house. As a Creative Producer, he reined in some of their initial productions - the young and frothy ensemble series ’Jugaadistan', the coming of age comedy 'Feels Like Home' and finally the family comedy feature ‘Thank you, Mr.Khanna' for which he served as an Associate Producer. Prashanth's earlier work includes a straight out of film school gig with the distribution & outreach team at NFDC, eventually evolving into one of the finest managers and producing minds at NFDC's Knowledge Series (2015-18) and Producers' Workshop (2018).

viraj SELOT (director) is the serious looking one. But still owls can be a riot!
An accomplished editor and creative producer, Viraj debuted straight out of film school with the FIPRESCI award winner 'A Dog and his Man' and was creative producer - post supervisor on one of the most feted Indian films of 2023 - the Manoj Bajpayee, Zeeshan Ayyub starrer social thriller 'Joram' directed by Devashish Makhija. Viraj brings a crucial combination of creative prowess and technical expertise to the collective. His keen eye for technical finesse & its interaction with the narrative scope of the film is a huge asset to any project - something he believes in dwelling upon right from development to its delivery. A much sought after consultant on the post production vision of films he has recently completed one of filmmaker Kanu Behl (the Cannes favourite, known for 'Titli' and 'Agra')'s Manoj Bajpayee starrer thriller 'Despatch'.
