Today
Decades of Legacy, A Future in Motion
From the Silver Screen to Shaping Minds
With roots deep in Indian cinema since 1961, Fact Films Private Limited now extends its legacy into education — blending creative excellence with a vision for tomorrow.
FACT FILMS Private Limited is one of the leading pioneers in India’s film production landscape, with a legacy that spans over six decades. Established in 1961 by the legendary Durga Khote, the company has played a vital role in shaping the visual language of Indian cinema—through storytelling, set design, and production excellence.
Over the years, FACT FILMS has evolved from a traditional production house into a multifaceted creative enterprise. While our roots remain firmly planted in the world of film and media, we’ve recently expanded our vision to include a strong focus on education and mentorship. Recognizing the growing need for practical, industry-aligned learning, we are committed to promoting and propagating quality education across India.
Our latest initiative aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world experience. We offer hands-on exposure to fresh graduates—particularly those in the fields of interior design and architecture—by connecting them with live projects, internships, and placement opportunities. Through our partnerships with leading design firms and studios, students gain access to the dynamic world of set design and product creation, allowing them to build portfolios, develop skills, and launch meaningful careers.
At FACT FILMS, we believe that creativity thrives when nurtured. Whether it’s crafting immersive film sets or mentoring the next generation of designers, our mission is to empower talent and inspire innovation.
