    Added Anant Medepalli, Creative Head, Makani Creatives: “Nilkamal is a household name, trusted and loved for quality products. Our challenge was to showcase Nilkamal’s furniture collection with simple yet impactful storytelling. We began with a simple insight – furniture is not just furniture. It’s an integral part of the special moments in life. It even helps you celebrate them. Nothing could bring the insight alive better than sweet, emotional scenarios we all relate to. The films are a series of touching human stories that show how Nilkamal furniture is ‘khushiyon ke liye hamesha ready’.
