Khauf isn’t the loud kind of fear.
It’s the one that settles quietly.
In the way women walk, talk, exist.
Khauf streams on @primevideoin from April 18.
Written and created by @smita_singhstories, drawn from her own experiences living in a working women’s hostel in Delhi.
Directed two episodes of this eight-part series — with @punkudge helming and lensing the rest, all part of one steadily burning world. Produced by @matchboxshots

While advertising is our mainstay, we’ve been slowly exploring other formats. 𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙖, our first documentary set in Kashmir around the Amarnath pilgrimage, looks at the shifting balance between faith, ecology, and livelihoods in one of India’s most fragile ecosystems.
A non-fiction project is a slow-brewing journey, and we’re deeply thankful to have recently received the prestigious @bitchitracollective grant and mentorship and to be selected for @greenstoriespitch, two incredible platforms for documentary filmmakers. Both reaffirm our path in this new world of filmmaking and help us take the next few steps in shaping the film. ⛰️

Some classrooms are waiting for the children who belong in them. Contribute ₹9,500 to support one child’s school year and help 125 young learners stay where they should be at their desks, with their friends, and full of possibility.
Donate to keep their classrooms full.

For every time I rolled my eyes at a crying kid on an airplane, I got a script with one in it.
And, somehow many of them make it to my favourites.

A few children at first.
A few more every year, because of you.
In 4 years, 400 children stayed in school.
This year, we’re raising fees for 125 children.
For many families, ₹9,500 a year decides if a child stays in school
and has the future they dream of.
Let’s do this together, again? 🤍

Social horror that raises the bar. #TheHonours (@thehonoursindia)- an RPSG Media (@rpsg.lifestylemedia) property powered by The Hollywood Reporter India - celebrate Khauf — a rare, complex genre vehicle that conflates the natural fear of being a woman in India with the supernatural fear of ghosts. Set in a working women’s hostel, it’s superbly performed, sharply plotted, and ambitiously staged. We capture cast and crew members Satyam Sharma (@satyamshivamsundaram_8), Smita Singh (@smita_singhstories), Nikhil Madhok (@madhoknikhil), Monika Panwar (@monikapanwar), Sarita Patil (@saritagpatil), Priyanka Setia (@priyankasetia11), Shalini Vatsa (@itsshalinivatsa), Surya Balakrishnan (@suryab), Rajat Kapoor, and Pankaj Kumar (@punkudge) at The Honours celebration.
