The Equinox Films and now Ram Madhvani Films offices have been in Famous Cine Building since we began. The energy of the space and the facilities they offer, whether it’s the Shooting Studios or the post production services has helped us with our work and helped us grow too. We are happy we have this long relationship with the Roongta family.

Ram Madhvani

Director/Owner, Ram Madhvani Films

We have been working with Famous Studios since the time we stepped foot in the advertising industry. Like everyone, we started small and at no point did the crew at Famous make us feel like 'small' or 'insignificant' clients. We were given as much time, importance and attention as the bigger clients. When it comes to skill and competence, Famous is right up there. There is nothing that we throw their way that they cant do - VFX, Animation, CG, Online, Grade - the works!! Working at and with famous is like working with family now. Famous makes it a point to go out of the way for their clients and ensure deliveries as promised and even before time. We regularly work with Siddhesh Nagvekar and Swapnil Patole who are top technicians and make our work that much better. We consider them to be an integral part of TEAM CHR now. We highly recommend Famous to anyone looking at a studio who wants to get their work done.

I love working at Famous studios for a few reasons. Editors, colourists, online artists, management and technicians are all very professional and courteous. They are accommodating and they never let you down. Besides this, the machines are always updated and work well and the studio is clean. It’s a happy & comfortable working environment.
