What Funtime Entertainment does

Funtime Entertainment is a privately held, India-based film production house founded in 2016 and headquartered in Kolkata, with a regional operations hub in Mumbai. The company produces feature films, commercials, and digital content, and has released two notable feature films to date: Panchlait (2017), a drama adapted from Phanishwar Nath Renu's short story directed by Prem Prakash Modi, and Ateet (2020), a horror film starring Rajeev Khandelwal, Priyamani, and Sanjay Suri. Panchlait received multiple recognitions at film festivals including the International Film Festival of India, Jagran Film Festival, and Habitat Film Festival.

Beyond original film production, Funtime Entertainment offers four integrated service modules: development services (concept-to-screenplay), line production and production fixer services (location scouting, casting, crew coordination, permits, equipment hire), post-production services through partnerships with leading Indian studios, and marketing and distribution strategy consulting. The company operates across four Indian states — Mumbai, Kolkata, Jharkhand, and Bihar — providing pan-India production capabilities with deep regional roots in eastern India.

The company monetizes through one-time licensing of film distribution rights (theatrical and OTT streaming), professional services fees for commercials and production support, and project-based fees for line production and post-production work. Distribution is handled through major Indian streaming platforms including MX Player and ZEE5, alongside traditional theatrical releases. The company is led by four partners — Anil Somani, Pramod Goyal, Anup Todi, and Creative Director Prem Modi — and operates without disclosed institutional funding, appearing to be self-capitalized by its partners.
