Our Mission

Dust rises behind a cartwheel. Needles dart through fabric like birds in flight. A voice hums an old song beneath a fading sky. The scent of soil lingers — rich, worn, alive - carrying the weight of memory, and the quiet stories rooted deep beneath our feet.


This is where our stories begin — not on stages, but in fields, workshops, alleyways, and open kitchens. 

At The Ruta Films, we travel to the heartlands — to the places where culture is lived, not performed — 

to document the people, crafts, and quiet moments that carry the soul of a place.


We believe storytelling is a form of preservation — a way to honor the everyday through the art of film. With cinematic care and deep cultural respect, we build a visual archive of lives that speak in gestures, textures, and tradition. Our films aim not just to capture, but to connect — to spark curiosity, invite reflection, and keep the pulse of these stories alive for generations to come.

The Storyteller Who Can’t Sit Still

Rishu Raushan

Equal parts curious wanderer and visual nerd, that’s Rishu. He’s the kind of The Jugadu Visual Detective who’s more at home on a dusty village road than in a studio, always chasing stories with a camera slung over one shoulder and a hundred questions in his head.


Rishu works closely with Jaipur Rugs, collaborating on campaign ideation and crafting films that capture the soul of their artisans and the stories woven into every thread. His work is driven by a deep respect for tradition and a cinematic eye for the everyday — creating visuals that are as honest as they are beautiful.

We believe that storytelling is a form of preservation — and that every person, every craft, every place has a story worth telling.
