A new-age production house from Chhattisgarh blending strong roots with cinematic ambition
Raipur: A fresh creative voice is emerging from Chhattisgarh’s growing entertainment landscape. CineGarh Studios, established in 2025, is steadily drawing attention for its emotionally grounded storytelling and commitment to quality cinema rooted in local culture.
From Friendship to Film Studio
CineGarh Studios was founded by Sumit Agrawal, whose business experience spans more than fifteen years across multiple ventures. The idea for the studio took shape through his long-standing friendship with Anurag Nirmalkar, a filmmaker who spent nearly a decade working on numerous film projects in Mumbai.
After returning to Chhattisgarh, Anurag became a familiar name in the regional film circuit. With Sumit’s management expertise and Anurag’s creative vision, CineGarh Studios was born with a clear purpose to create world-class cinematic content while staying deeply connected to its roots. Operations began in Bhilai, marking the studio’s commitment to building from the heart of Chhattisgarh.
‘Balloon’: A Debut That Touched Hearts Nationwide
CineGarh Studios made its official creative entry with its first Hindi short film, Balloon, released on YouTube on February 11 this year. The film has been receiving strong organic traction, with audiences across the country responding to its emotional simplicity and relatable narrative.
What stands out about Balloon is its ability to connect without spectacle. The film’s reception has reinforced CineGarh’s belief that honest storytelling, when executed with care, can transcend geography and language.
A Complete Production House with a Long-Term Vision
CineGarh Studios positions itself as a full-service production house, covering every aspect of music and cinema production from pre-production planning and creative development to final delivery. This integrated approach allows the team to maintain creative consistency while nurturing stories that feel authentic rather than manufactured.
The studio’s larger vision goes beyond one successful release. With multiple projects already in the pipeline, CineGarh aims to steadily build a body of work that audiences can trust for emotional depth and quality storytelling.
Looking Ahead
With Balloon earning love from viewers across the nation, CineGarh Studios is now focused on expanding its creative footprint. The team hopes this debut will encourage audiences to look toward CineGarh as a source of meaningful, rooted, and well-crafted cinematic content in the years to come.
