About our animated devotional films
Each devotional film begins with the scripture, not with the picture. The story is researched from the texts it comes from, characters and settings are designed from canon, and the music is composed for the film, so the finished film respects the tradition it comes from.
Shri Krishna’s Entire Life and Jai Maa Kali have each passed 1.5 million views, and international clients have come to the studio because of them. Radha Krishna was finished in 4K for large screens.
From live-action features to animated films
The animated films stand on twenty years of live-action filmmaking. Since 2004 Tarunabh Dutta has made films, including eight feature films, three web series and a twelve-episode broadcast series, 60 short films (33 in live action and 27 animated), 67 music videos, documentaries, advertisements and corporate films: more than 85 projects in all. That experience of camera, actors, editing and visual effects shapes the animated work.
He has experimented with generative tools since 2021 and has made animated films with them since about 2023. The tools are the brush; the story, the design and the finish are his.
How to find a film to watch
This page holds every film from the studio. If you are new to our work, here is where to start:
- For devotion and the great stories: the animated devotional films, beginning with Shri Krishna’s Entire Life, Jai Maa Kali and the Lord Shiva Story.
- For children and families: the animated fairy tales on Learn With TD, such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, on our children’s and family videos page.
- For Assamese cinema: the live-action short films, from Out of the Blue to The Show Must Go On, and the feature films.
- For music: the animated and live-action music videos on our music page.
- For filmmakers: the making-of films, VFX breakdowns and camera tests in the production sections above.
All our films can be watched free on YouTube on the TD Film Studio and Learn With TD channels, many with English subtitles. Films in Assamese, Hindi and English sit side by side here, because the studio has always made films for audiences at home and abroad.
Commission an animated devotional film
Devotional films can be commissioned for festivals, temples, trusts, music labels and channels. See Hindu mythology animated films for how a commission works, or watch the full catalogue on the TD Film Studio YouTube channel.
Can these films be licensed?
Yes. Finished devotional films and songs can be licensed for platforms, channels, apps and screenings. See devotional film licensing for how it works.
Can I commission a film like these?
Yes. Each commission is designed for its own story, but the same research, design and finish go into every film. Start with a project brief.
Do you co-produce films with other producers?
Yes. We co-produce features and series, and also work as the director or the post-production partner on projects that are already financed.
Can you develop our idea into a screenplay?
Yes. Development is often the first step: a treatment, then a screenplay or series bible, with registration of the work.
Do you make films in Assamese and other languages?
Yes. Several of the features are in Assamese, and the studio works in Hindi, Bengali and English as well.
How much does a documentary cost to produce?
It depends on length, research, the number of shoot days and locations, archive licensing, and how much animation it needs. You receive clear options with a written quote.
Can you make a documentary without new filming?
Yes. Archival and animated documentaries use photographs, records, existing footage and animation, and can be made entirely in the studio.
Do you film outside Assam?
The studio is based in Guwahati, Assam. Shoots elsewhere are planned with you, and research, review and delivery all run online.
Can the documentary be in several languages?
Yes. We deliver subtitled and dubbed versions in English, Hindi, Assamese and Bengali.
