After the success of Khosla Ka Ghosla, which was released in 2006 and won many a rave reviews, Raj & Savita's confidence has been doubled.

The forte of Khosla Ka Ghosla was its simplicity, sincerity and substance and much of that credit went to Tandav Films for organizing all of those things so well.
'Starting from Advertising to a stage where we are all set to produce many films is a journey which I believe is just an extension to our creativity. Advertising kept us a bit restricted since we had to work on a set brief, while film making is more liberal in many ways. I am glad to have such an opportunity to work with renowned organization like UNMC and I am sure that we would prove them our creativity and credibility", he further adds.
This video is a very big & prestigious project which includes many world famous brand patents also.

Ultimately the creative urge of Tandav Films bagged them this project. It certainly is a big honor for this production house to represent the Indian creativity on an International level.
