"The sounds floated up from the bazaar, carving grooves in the vinyl playing slowly in my head. Footsteps, laughter, the rustle of cloth, the call of a fruit seller — all pressed into the same record, spinning in the heat."
At Studio Balihai, we believe every story deserves a soul. More than a production house, we are a gathering place – of filmmakers and poets, historians and architects, dancers, designers, animators, translators, and dreamers. A multidisciplinary studio where the timeless art of storytelling meets the precision of craft.
Rooted in the textures of India, but with eyes and collaborators across the world, Studio Balihai brings together diverse voices to shape narratives that move, provoke, and endure. Whether it’s a quiet poem wrapped in light, a sweeping film, or a cultural project that crosses borders and genres – we tailor each journey to reflect the essence of your vision.
We welcome projects of all sizes and budgets with the same curiosity and care. With Studio Balihai, you’re not commissioning a service – you’re entering a conversation, a collaboration grounded in trust, imagination, and a love for beauty in all its forms.
Let’s make something honest. Something unforgettable.
