Me and @niharpalwe were waiting in line to get popcorn at the BFI Imax when we realised that it is the first time we’re buying popcorn and waiting in a long line to watch our own film, and that too in the biggest screen in the UK.

Thank you again to the Superman of Manmad @niharpalwe ans partners in crime @yashhbarua @pritkamani.

So much love to the folks at @straight_8_ for doing what you
do. Was super inspiring to see films from all around the globe

The work we do at @stitch.audio @bombaynoor just played and got sold out at the biggest IMAX in the UK.

One roll. No retakes. No second chances.
- Now try scoring that.. without ever seeing the film.

That’s Straight8!

The music and the film meet for the first time with the audience. No safety net. Just instinct. And somehow, Adith Anande (@xadithx) didn’t just match it.. he elevated it.

Top 8 @ Straight8 2025. Screened at Cannes 25' & BFI IMAX.

The music of 'The Storm, The Calm. The Madness, The Magic' created by @xadithx is now streaming everywhere..

Listen now on all major platforms!

From “why do people even do this?” to “oh shit, this happens every day”, #WearItDontCarryIt is a cinematic public service film about a habit we all recognise but rarely question. Carrying a helmet instead of wearing it.

Shot guerrilla-style on real streets with real traffic, this film tries to hold up a mirror to everyday behaviour and let the silence do the talking.

Extremely grateful to everyone below who trusted the process and helped bring this campaign to life.

Presenting #WearItDontCarryIt.
A Vega Helmets PSA.
