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.

Change the ride.
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.

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!

What's on
your mind?
A brief. A launch. A difficult thing to explain.
Or just the feeling that there's a better story.
Back to the thinkingClean does not have
Nerolac / A campaign story
Clean does not have
to mean sterile.
A functional disinfectant story needed clarity. Colour, warmth and rhythm gave viewers another reason to stay.
The launch films for Nerolac Disinfectant were short, informative pieces with a touch of humour. The product information was in place; the opportunity lay in giving it a visual treatment that would make the films more engaging and recognisably Nerolac.
The work concentrated on how each scene would look, sound and unfold. Colour, visual motifs and music carried the brand through the films, so its presence did not depend only on a product shot or a closing frame. The editing introduced curiosity into the narrative, giving the audience a reason to stay with information that could otherwise have felt purely functional.
The treatment also had to hold two qualities together. It needed the visual polish associated with Nerolac, while retaining an Indian character that made the situations feel human and familiar. Keeping that balance was central to the direction: the films could look carefully made without making their world feel remote.
Even a functional film needs a pulse.
