We observe.
We imagine.
We make.
We are Maanishadha.
Maanishadha Films is a Kerala-based creative film collective working across music videos, commercials, branded content and cinematic visual campaigns.
Founded in 2015 during the early rise of Kerala's hip-hop movement, we began by creating cinema-driven music videos for independent artists. Over time, that practice grew across music, advertising and branded content — while the belief at the centre stayed the same.
We don't just make videos. We build identities, create worlds and tell stories that become part of an artist's journey.

Worlds we've built.
INSPIRED BY THE PHRASE “MĀ NIṢĀDA,” THE OPENING WORDS OF THE FIRST VERSE OF THE RAMAYANA, THE NAME SYMBOLIZES THE MOMENT WHEN RAW HUMAN EMOTION TRANSFORMED INTO TIMELESS ART. WHAT BEGAN AS GRIEF BECAME POETRY, MARKING THE BIRTH OF ONE OF HISTORY’S GREATEST EPICS. IT IS A REMINDER THAT EVERY MEANINGFUL CREATION BEGINS WITH A FEELING THAT DEMANDS TO BE EXPRESSED.
FOR US, EVERY PROJECT IS A NEW BEGINNING —
FOR THE ARTIST, FOR THE AUDIENCE AND FOR OURSELVES.
[ COLLABORATIONS ]
Over the years we have built lasting relationships with clients across fashion, technology, culture, and commerce. We do not just deliver work. We deliver work that performs, persists, and gets remembered.
