About Machaan Films

All the Perks

Machaan Films is an effort — not a claim to define or give identity to Maithili cinema, but a sincere attempt to reignite excitement and curiosity around Maithili films among people once again.

The journey began with short films, using simple yet meaningful stories rooted in real emotions and everyday life, told in the Maithili language. These stories reflect the soil, people, struggles, and emotions of Mithila.
As the audience grows and the love and support of viewers increase, Machaan Films aims to gradually move towards larger and more ambitious film projects, while staying true to its roots.

A core belief of Machaan Films is to work with local artists and connect new creators — especially Maithili actors, writers, and filmmakers—so that people in Mithila see cinema as a creative and viable medium, and become more aware and involved in the world of filmmaking.

Maithili Talent Exchange – Connecting Maithili Talent

Artist Platform

Alongside filmmaking, Machaan Films is working on another important initiative:
to bring together Maithili artists from across the world onto a single platform.
The idea is to create a one-stop space where any production house, director, or creative team—anywhere in the world—can easily find Maithili actors and creators whenever required.
