"Cinema has the power to preserve memory, interpret history, and bring civilizational narratives to life for new generations."
At Studio Mahatta, we focus on stories rooted in history, faith, and cultural memory — narratives that shaped societies and continue to influence the present.
Our aim is to develop these stories with cinematic scale and international storytelling standards, creating films and series that travel across cultures while remaining deeply rooted in their origins.
Studio Mahatta is backed by the Mahatta Group, a creative legacy built over more than a century across photography, art, broadcasting, and media.
Drawing on this institutional foundation, the studio develops long format historical and mythological narratives for theatrical and global digital platforms.
The story of Mahatta began in 1915 when three brothers started a photography practice in Srinagar. Their work went beyond portraiture — they documented Kashmir during a period of immense cultural and political transformation while pioneering photographic techniques in India.
More than a century later, that tradition of visual storytelling continues.
The original Mahatta studio still stands in Srinagar and has since been transformed into a museum, gallery, and café dedicated to the region's photographic heritage. Over the decades, the family expanded the legacy into a broader creative ecosystem — building digital platforms serving India's creative industry and production companies developing films and visual content.
Today, Mahatta Group represents a century long evolution of image making — from photography to digital platforms, film production, and cultural preservation. Studio Mahatta continues this tradition by focusing on long form cinematic storytelling.
Studio Mahatta operates through two distinct divisions — one focused on developing original cinematic intellectual property and the other on commissioned production and institutional media work.
Development and production of long format cinematic projects for theatrical and global digital platforms.
Commissioned productions, institutional films, and documentary projects for international broadcasters, cultural organisations, and public institutions.
The Originals division focuses on the development and production of long format cinematic projects including feature films, documentaries, and historical series. These projects are developed as intellectual property for theatrical and global digital platforms.
The Service Division handles commissioned productions, institutional films, and documentary projects developed for international broadcasters, cultural organizations, and public institutions.
This work is carried out through Mahatta Media Solutions.
