Deaf filmmakers, RH Films are back with some new movies to enthral
audiences. What do they have in their kitty? Read more.
RH Films is acquiring quite a name for itself in
film circles for their creative work. Dedicated to making movies for deaf
audiences, they have been busy screening their films in many cities. Flush
from winning from winning many awards at the India international Deaf
Film Festival earlier this year, they now have plans for
Mumbai.
The team behind RH Films is Rajesh Kulkarni and
Hemang Somaiya. Rajesh directs the films while Hemang
provides technical support and is the VFX editor.
They plunged into making deaf films because being deaf themselves they want
to bring the magic of cinema to their community. Most mainstream films are
not inclusive – they either don’t have captions or are in English, making
it an incomplete experience for deaf watchers. Rajesh and Hemang are changing
this through RH FIlms.
Their films not only bring a sense of inclusion but have become a channel for
the community to express their views. This time the Mumbai festival will
screen movies featuring 25 deaf actors from across Maharashtra.
Our previous work was much loved by the audience and we feel it is our duty
to keep making movies for the deaf community. Our movies have sounds too as
we want the hearing people to enjoy them as well. – Rajesh
Kulkarni, Co-founder RH Films
The festival in Mumbai on 11 August will host some new films as well like
Jan man gan, Proud India, A Love Family, A to Z sign language, Sorry,
My students, Shree Ganesh, Run and a comedy,

relationships, patriotism, satire etc.
Atul Sakhare , a big fan is waiting for the event. ”I have
