Varnan Films

Award-winning films. Intimate room. A screening experience you’ll want to say you were part of. 🎬

For unCurated by Varnan - Edition 1, we’re bringing award-winning films Two Way Street and Es**rt, directed by Asmit Pathare, to the Varnan studio for a special screening and conversation.

These are films that have travelled across festivals, sparked conversations, and stayed with audiences long after the credits rolled. And this time, they’re being experienced in a room full of people who genuinely love cinema and storytelling.

Powerful storytelliing, meaningful conversations and the kind of evening that feels rare to come by now.

Happening on 16 May!
Tickets on BookMyShow- https://in.bookmyshow.com/events/uncurated-by-varnan/ET00497047

Some evenings feel better when they’re shared with poetry and people who get it.

Join us for Kavita Paath, a warm, open gathering where stories unfold gently, poems are read and felt, and conversations flow without pressure. It’s the kind of space where you can bring a piece you love, share something of your own, or simply sit back and listen.

There’s no right way to be here - just come as you are, and let the room do the rest.

Gurgaon events, Culture in Gurgaon, UnCurated By Varnan

Sometimes, stories starts with a few people, a few conversations, and a shared way of seeing the world.

We’ve been building a community in Gurgaon for those who feel something when they experience art, who see culture as connection, not consumption.

A space where stories don’t just exist on screen, but between people.

If this feels like your kind of space, we’d love to have you with us.

Yes, it’s happening!

We are excited to share that we’re building something new.

unCurated by Varnan is an extension of what we’ve always believed in, something we’ve been thinking about, shaping, and holding close for a while.

A step towards creating spaces where art can breathe, grow, and be experienced more openly.

This is our attempt to create something simple yet meaningful.
We’ll be sharing more with you, slowly and thoughtfully :)

From Vernita’s diary
Over the years, I’ve seen filmmaking change. But in the last two years, it has changed faster than ever.
I remember the days of bulky cameras and tapes.

Only a few production houses owned them. The rest of us rented, planned carefully, and made every shot count. Shooting days were tighter, mistakes were expensive, and there was a certain discipline to the process.

Then came DVs. Things became slightly more accessible. We could shoot more, experiment more, and slowly, the gap between idea and ex*****on started reducing.

When we started Varnan 16 years ago, we stored every tape. Especially documentary footage. We still have hundreds of them. We call it our gold. Back then, footage felt physical. You could hold it, archive it, revisit it.

Editing meant sitting in studios for hours. Rendering took time. Changes were not instant. Every decision carried weight.

Corporate films had a different place. They were made to last. A shelf life of 3–5 years was normal. And yes, we charged a bomb for it.

There was time, budget, and intent behind each film.
Today, everything is faster.
Everyone owns a camera.

Shoots are lighter, quicker, more fluid.
Content is created in volumes.

Editing happens on laptops, sometimes even phones.
Cloud has replaced cupboards full of tapes.
But with that, attention spans have reduced.

Shelf life has shortened.
“Content” has replaced “films” in many conversations.

There is more access now. More creators. More stories being told. Which is a beautiful shift.
But somewhere, the pace has also changed how deeply we sit with a story.
A lot has changed.

What hasn’t changed is this
a good story still needs time, honesty, and someone who cares enough to tell it well.
And when that happens, it still stays.
