Benaras Media Works

The city of Benaras, the spiritual heartland of India, is the creative ideology that drives Benaras Media Works, a film production house established in 2012.

French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr once famously said that the more things change, the more they remain the same. He could well be referring to the city of Benaras. The more contemporary the city becomes, the more it remains mystical. Benaras Media Works creates films in the same spirit – contemporary yet rooted; modern yet classic. After all, the company was formed by a local Benarasi boy, Anubhav Sinha.

Over the years, Benaras Media Works has produced sixteen films, amongst them are the box office hits and critically acclaimed MULK (2018), ARTICLE 15 (2019), THAPPAD (2020) and a scrumptious lineup of films is in the oven for the near future, including a political satire, an anthology film by Three path-breaking directors, Sudhir Mishra, Hansal Mehta, and Anubhav Sinha.
