A Legacy in Indian Cinema: Lighting & Crew Expertise
From the 35mm film days of Salaam Bombay to modern Oscar entries, our lighting foundation is built on decades of hands-on experience. We train the gaffers who define Indian cinematography.
The Academy Award nominated film 'Salaam Bombay!' was a significant milestone in our journey. This project cemented a long-lasting collaboration with director Mira Nair and established our reputation for delivering on complex creative visions.
Our commitment to the craft is reflected in the success of films like 'Last Film Show', India's official Oscar entry. We trained the gaffer and crew, proving that our focus on expertise produces world-class talent.
This photo represents over two decades of dedication to filmmaking. Many of the crew we trained, like the gaffer for the film 'Pippa', started with us and have become industry leaders themselves.
Our founder, Mulchand Dedhia, built this company on a simple principle: when you know your aim, you build yourself around it. This philosophy continues to guide our training and mentorship programs.
Pictured here is our team with a "Masterpiece Senna" equipment case. We have always invested in the best gear and the best people, building a legacy of quality and reliability in the film industry.
About A Legacy in Indian Cinema
When you choose to work with our team, you are tapping into a mentorship lineage that produced the lighting crews for films like Last Film Show. We do not just supply fixtures; we send out gaffers trained under our rigorous rig-management protocols, ensuring the cinematographer's vision is executed precisely whether we are on a digital shoot or a complex practical set.
Our history in the industry is not just about the projects we have worked on; it is about how those projects shaped our standards. We started back when film sets ran on pure resourcefulness and evolved alongside technology, bridging the gap between old-school tungsten lighting and modern RGBACL LED engines.
We focus on the craft of lighting, not just the rental of equipment. This means our gaffers are trained to troubleshoot on-set emergencies, manage 3-phase power, and handle heavy rigging for 18k fixtures. We believe that if you want to understand the quality of light, you have to get your hands dirty with the hardware.
Training with us is about solving real-world challenges. In our Mumbai warehouse, you get access to:
- Full physical handling of cinema lights and vintage gear.
- Drills on rainproof setups and cable management.
- Electrical safety protocols including load balancing and generator management.
We prioritize teaching the next generation of lighting crews because we believe that real expertise is the only way to sustain the industry. Whether you are a budding gaffer looking for certification or a production house needing a crew that understands the nuances of cinematic lighting, our training programs and rental support are built to meet those high-stakes requirements.
