Google Gemini | Do More With Gemini | Director’s Cut #ALTRAY x @baqsa_productions x @toaster.co ✨ 10 set ups. Across 3 locations. 1 day. And we wrapped before time. What an epic shoot! What an epic day! With epic people! *** When @ironman_sid told me we had to shoot 10 set ups in a single day, I knew exactly the person to call. The most FULL POWER DOP I know, @premalraval . He in turn got @light.rover , an absolute beast on the Trinity. And with @figmentbylalima ’s production design and @pratishruti ’s costumes ready to make the film pop, we jumped right into it. @baqsa_productions crew led by @ironman_sid and #ALTRAYDIRECTIONCREW - @manasvinisuresh @hammaaddanish @janvibhambri - everyone FULL POWER! @stitchmedia.in boys - @rishabh_shetty_ and @derinkallen cut it beautifully, and then @sameerrahat came in with the final garnishing- a track so funky, it blew my mind! @edgarreynag applied finishing touches to make everything look so sparkly. This film had a lot of mixed media components. And though not everything made it to the final cut, I learnt a bunch of new things in the process. Big ups to @trippppy.trips , @postwalastudio , @stitchmedia.in , and @premalraval , for the slick UI, graphics and transitions. And thank you @toaster.co team - @smallkaps , @trippppy.trips , @mygoodnessmyira , @aatankitadpole , @aaaanshullll , @shiveshahuja , and everyone else - for being such fun teammates. Some films are special. This is one such film. ❤️ #ALTRAY #GoogleGemini #Advertisement #Commercial #ShotOnVenice

Exactly three years ago on this day, we started shooting #PehlaNiwala / #TheFirstBite in Calcutta. A mad, hectic week long schedule across 18 locations in the hottest month of May in Calcutta. But it was made breezy by my incredible cast and crew - some of the most beautiful people that I have had the joy of teaming up with! ❤️ Our film is screening at @nyindianfilmfest on the 31st of May at Village East by Angelika ! Drop by if you’re around! On set photos by @sanjuktamitraphotography 📸 #ALTRAY @littlelambfilmsofficial #ShortFilm #BehindTheScenes

SOLD OUT. Shorts B is sold out at New York Indian Film Festival 2026. Thank you to everyone who grabbed a seat for this one. A curated journey through seven films that navigate the unspoken rules of the body, the home, and the heart. Shorts B Program screens at the New York Indian Film Festival 2026. Here are the films, all with English subtitles - Kuchar (The Itch) (@kucharthefilm ) directed by Vaidaangi Sharma (@vaidaangi_sharma ): A coming of age tale where the whirl of a washing machine sparks an accidental discovery of pleasure, leading a mother and daughter toward parallel paths of self discovery. Pehla Niwala (The First Bite) (dir. Rajdip Ray) (@rayofdope ): In the sweltering heat of Kolkata, a young husband adopts his terminally ill wife's liquid diet in a deeply personal act of solidarity and survival. Roots (dir. Jasleen Kaur) (@jasleen.mov ): Set in 1940s Vancouver, a widowed South Asian woman dares to challenge a city council to defend her right to own a home in a white neighborhood. O'Sey Balamma (dir. Raman Nimmala) (@ramannimmala04 ): When a son's holiday visit is cancelled, a widowed matriarch and her longtime housemaid find a quiet, unlikely companionship in their shared solitude. Flowers Bloom When Touched (dir. Priyanka Krishnan) (@priyankakrish ): Two sisters embark on a darkly comedic quest through Chennai to "re-virginize" before an invasive test, exposing the absurd lengths society goes to control women's bodies. Aashirwad (Blessings) (dir. Apurva Bardapurkar) (@apurvabardapurkar ): A black comedy that deconstructs the "godly" status of Indian parents, as a couple goes to extreme lengths to protect their son's childhood secret. Waagh (The Leopard) (dir. Mukti Krishan) (@muktikrishan ): When a leopard wanders into a re-developed apartment complex in Mumbai, fear spreads, and when it is found dead, 8-year-old Apu's world begins to distort. A tense psychological drama about childhood paranoia, silent fears, and primal instincts beneath the fragile surface of urban life. May 31, 2026 | 11:00 AM #NYIFF2026 #shortfilms #indiancinema

This felt like a party! 🎉 A high energy, larger than life BTS moment from this power packed shoot I styled for @googleplay x @battlegroundsmobilein_official featuring @ig_jonathangaming where every frame was designed to feel electric. From conceptualising the looks to building a mood that felt like a full blown party on set — this one was all about creating impact, movement and a visual identity that stands out on your screen. If you can hear the beats and the laughter through this reel… we did it right 💥 _ @rayofdope @baqsa_productions @toaster.co @ironman_sid @arindamdebnath_ @mygoodnessmyira @aatankitadpole @mitsamby @abhilashachhabra @mujoo_karan @selinabhakoo @sankyluthra @trippppy.trips @bharatjain.92 @rishabh_shetty_ @arun.chelani @vineeshvijayan.color @sameerrahat @hammaaddanish @ravi.k1953 _ #StyledByMitaliAmbekar #behindthescenes #FashionStyling #ShootDiaries #BrandCampaign [styled by Mits Amby, work is fun, energy on set, bts , shoot mode, style file, fyp]
