POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
It never occurred to the makers of this film that the story of a wedding band trumpet player will travel this far but it seems like we underestimated who all could resonate with Bantoo’s story.

With shaking hands and trembling lips we are proud to announce that our film ‘Ustad Bantoo’ has been officially selected to have its World Premiere at @iffr.

It will be screening in Rotterdam in the month of February, 2026.

We’re headed to the Dharamshala International Film Festival @diff.india this October for our Indian Premiere!!!

From interviewing wedding band musicians across Delhi to bringing this story to life, honestly this one feels a little too special. Bantoo finally comes home!!

Watch the trailer and come meet Bantoo in Dharamshala.

A simple question “Do you wanna watch Ustad Bantoo?” 
No details, No information and 430 people said yes.

Distributing a film independently feels like a wild thought and it is until you realise how many people are actually willing to show up for it.

Ustaad Bantoo will be coming to 100 screens, all through independent film clubs.

“Film Editing is a mindset more than a skill”

Something we learnt during our editing mentorship sessions with Nitin Baid and Sayukta Kaza in the Work in Progress Lab at Waves Film Bazaar 2025

@wavesfilmbazaarindia was truly instrumental in shaping up Ustad Bantoo in its final stages.

When was the last time you gave a round of applause to a wedding band?

Trouble recalling? Well most of us will do.

What really stops us from doing so?

A short glimpse into the “Band ki Duniya”, more of which you’ll see in our film Ustad Bantoo.
