Back in the day, I used to think about how someday I’d be someone facing the camera, encapsulating different personalities, with an audience watching. And today, it gives me immense satisfaction to see that thought slowly turning into reality.

Rather, I should say, this is just the beginning of something whose destination I don’t even know yet. But at this point, I feel incredibly overwhelmed that a film I’ve worked on with my buddies is going to screen at the 15th Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF).

I can’t wait to witness the audience’s reactions, and I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us as a team, with this first screening setting things in motion.

This marks the beginning of our screenings in India with our Indian premiere, with 99 more to go!

Thank you, everyone, for all the love and support so far. ❤️

Bantoo bade parde par!

For his debut feature Ustad Bantoo, Delhi-based filmmaker Arsh Jain turns a familiar North Indian spectacle, the wedding bands, into an unexpectedly intimate portrait of modern burnout. 
A finance professional by day, Arsh has long negotiated a quiet discontent with the corporate world. That unease quietly slips into Ustad Bantoo, which follows the life of a trumpet player in a ‘shaadi’ band, a man who plays at weddings for a living but secretly wants to be a real musician in his own right. Trapped in processions where almost nobody is truly listening, he keeps playing songs that mean little to people who only want noise.

After our conversation with Arsh, the film feels less like a distant observation and more like a personal excavation. As if Arsh is using cinema to circle his own crises, and asking, through his protagonist, what it means to search for purpose inside systems that are not built for it.

Ustad Bantoo was shot guerrilla-style in real weddings with a fluid camera, non-actors and a world that never feels staged. This self-funded first feature stepped onto a global stage with its international premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival, marking Arsh as one of the more promising new voices in film this year.
