A familiar game.
A different conversation.
Cricket had the screen. Durex wanted couples to make a little room for each other. D20 turned a national obsession into a playful invitation for two.

"We couldn't have asked for a better partner than Prasad Wadke and Team Chaiwala Pictures for our corporate film. Right from the start, they deeply understood our brief, translating our vision into a tailored creative approach that felt perfectly aligned with our goals. From there, their conceptualization was spot-on; innovative, structured, and infused with storytelling that elevated our narrative. Visually, the film turned out breathtaking: dynamic cinematography, seamless edits, and a polished aesthetic that screamed professionalism. It genuinely added immense value to our brand’s corporate image at that pivotal time, positioning us as forward-thinking leaders in our industry. Prasad and the team didn't just deliver a video, they crafted a powerful asset that boosted our credibility and engagement. Highly recommend!"

Chaiwala Pictures, and the creative team behind it - Prasad, Neha and Dhruv - were acquainted with me first when we decided to do a corporate film to celebrate 10 years of our firm, that I was COO of, in 2024. In mainstream cinema, the actors need to read Directors but here the Director must get into the mind and soul of the client. When our project commenced, I wondered how precisely that would happen for the film to portray the inner dimensions of a group of completely unknown set of perfectionists! When the film was eventually screened on the celebration day in November 2024, it was clear how amazingly well Prasad and his team were able to sense those values in action, in a short production span of 3-4 months, through observation, dialogue and interactions. It brought forth the genius creativity of that team! Besides creativity, I was impressed by the ownership that the "Chaiwalas" took to brew the perfect tea flavour! Incredible creativity, ownership, timeliness and above all - PASSION! Kudos team Chaiwala!

Earth Rhythm / A campaign story
Beauty for all.
Beyond the usual rules.
An in-house brand film celebrating beauty beyond colour, size, shape, gender and age.
“Beauty for All” began with a clear point of view: colour, size, shape, gender and age should not decide who gets to be seen as beautiful. For Earth Rhythm, we built an advertising film around that belief, questioning the narrow rules that so often shape the conversation about beauty.
The writing gave the idea a playful voice. It asked what beauty was for, challenged familiar labels and arrived at an inclusive refrain: “Beauty For All, And Not Just One.” That line expressed the centre of the campaign in language that could be direct without becoming a lecture.
The film was written, directed and produced in-house at Chaiwala Pictures. Keeping those stages together meant the original point of view could remain the thread running through the work, from the words on the page to the finished film.
The project gave Earth Rhythm a brand statement rooted in inclusion. Its subject was how we see beauty and whom we allow that word to describe, linking that inclusive thought to the brand through the refrain: “Beauty That Hums - Earth Rhythm.”
Sometimes honesty is the most attractive thing a beauty brand can put on screen.
