Films
that sell.
Ad films, brand films, corporate and product video. Written, directed, shot and cut in-house by a video production company in Chennai.
What an ad film
actually costs.
A digital-first ad film in India typically runs ₹1.5-8 lakh, and a broadcast TVC with a full unit, talent and licensed music commonly runs ₹15 lakh to well over ₹1 crore. The spread is driven by cast, locations, shoot days and post, not by the length of the film.
AI-assisted production changes the maths. Sequences that would need a location, a unit and a crew can be generated and iterated for a fraction of that, so we quote hybrid treatments for most brand work now.
| Scope | Script to final mix |
|---|---|
| Formats | TVC, brand, product |
| Crew | In-house, Chennai |
| Typical | 3 to 8 weeks |
| Hybrid | Live action plus AI |
| Reach | Pan-India, overseas |

OpenShoot it, or generate it.
We make more money from a shoot than from a generation run, and we will still tell you which parts of your film genuinely need a camera.
A real person
Founders, employees, named talent, customers. Anyone identifiable is filmed, with a release.
A real place
Your plant, your store, your farm. If provenance is the point, provenance has to be photographed.
Impossible shots
Camera moves, scale and environments that would need a crane, a permit or a different country.
Volume and variants
A month of social from one idea, or fifteen versions of one ad for testing.
Video production,
answered plainly.
How much does an ad film cost in India?
A digital-first ad film typically runs ₹1.5-8 lakh. A broadcast TVC with a full unit, talent and licensed music commonly runs ₹15 lakh to well over ₹1 crore, driven by cast, locations, shoot days and post.
The honest lever is treatment, not haggling. A hybrid live-action plus AI approach can cut a third or more off a budget without the film looking cheaper. And we will tell you which shots genuinely need a camera.
How long does a film take from brief to delivery?
A social-first or AI-assisted film moves from brief to delivery in two to four weeks. A live-action brand film with casting and locations typically runs six to ten weeks. A full TVC with broadcast clearances takes longer.
If you are working to a festive window, a trade show or an investor date, give us the on-air date first and we will build the schedule backwards from it.
Do you handle the whole production in-house?
Yes: brief and discovery, concept and treatment, pre-production, shoot, edit, grade, sound design, original music, subtitling and every ratio the media plan needs.
45+ corporate films, 20+ brand films and 10+ advertisements have been produced end-to-end, plus original music: the studio's debut musical production, Nee Illatha Madras, was written and sung by founder Ashwin V Natarajan.
Can you shoot product and food photography too?
Yes. Product, packshot and lifestyle food photography sits in the same team as packaging design, so the artwork, the marketplace listing and the ad frame all agree with each other. Recent work includes A1 SKC, Viraly and Nira.
Who directs?
Ashwin V Natarajan, the founder, is a filmmaker and theatre director and is the creative lead on brand work. The person who writes the treatment is the person on set. We do not hand a film to a different director after the pitch.
What is the film
for?
Send the requirement, or just the problem. We come back with the idea, a treatment, and an honest cost for the shoot and the generated route side by side.
