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.

A new brand. A different technology. A very familiar way to get around. Okinawa’s campaign made the electric scooter feel like something you could already picture riding home.

A human face.
Giant OTR tyres. Factory floors. Serious machinery. One visual language that could carry Ascenso’s capability across an expo screen, a website and the story of its people.

"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!

Ezone / A campaign story
Keep the offer clear.
Give it a heartbeat.
Electronics can be specifications, prices and promotions. In people’s homes, they also become gifts, celebrations and small upgrades in life.
Ezone’s live-action campaigns covered retail events including the Blindfold Sale, Exchange Campaign and Zero Margin Sale. Each had an immediate job: make the offer clear and give people a reason to visit the stores. At the same time, buying electronics involves trust in the retailer, so the work had to speak to the relationship behind the transaction.
Across these in-house commercials, we used narrative surprises, happiness and sentiment to connect the sales message with the audience’s everyday feelings. The treatments varied from film to film. Each event needed a story suited to its own offer, rather than a single creative device repeated across every campaign.
The product windows remained deliberately tactical. They gave viewers the information needed to act, while the surrounding narrative made space for a more personal connection with the brand. Keeping those roles clear helped the films carry both the urgency of a sale and the reassurance involved in choosing where to shop.
Together, the commercials gave Ezone a range of ways to bring its sales properties to the screen. The offers supplied the immediate reason to visit; the stories kept the retailer’s approach to trust and relationships in the picture.
Electronics run on electricity. Buying them often runs on feeling.
