Kolkata: As the entertainment industry continues to evolve in the digital era, South Kolkata-based independent production house Sound of Som Productions is exploring a creative approach that goes beyond conventional films and music. The company is working across cinema, music, fashion, documentaries and cultural events to connect India’s artistic heritage with contemporary creative expression.
Founded by Somak Sinha and Bijoli Ghosh Karmakar, Sound of Som Productions focuses on bringing Indian cultural narratives to younger generations and modern audiences through storytelling, music, visual arts and creative experiences.
The production house believes that culture should not remain limited to history or tradition, but should continue to evolve through contemporary forms of artistic expression.
Bringing Tribal and Folk Heritage to the Fashion Stage
One of the distinctive initiatives of Sound of Som Productions is S-Factor, a platform that seeks to bring India’s tribal and folk traditions into contemporary fashion.
The initiative combines tribal textiles, traditional handicrafts, folk performances and indigenous art with modern fashion presentations. The company works with artists, artisans, designers and performers to create a platform where traditional forms of creativity can reach a wider audience.
According to the company, the objective is not to treat tribal and folk culture merely as a fashion theme, but to present it as a living part of India’s cultural heritage. The initiative also aims to provide greater visibility to communities whose artistic traditions have often remained outside the mainstream.
Exploring the Connection Between Yoga and Music
Another upcoming project from Sound of Som Productions is the documentary “Harmony – A Confluence of Yoga and Music.”
The documentary explores the relationship between yoga, music, rhythm and mindfulness through conversations, performances and visual storytelling.
The project examines how traditional Indian practices such as yoga and music can be connected with physical well-being, emotional balance and inner awareness. Through a contemporary storytelling approach, the documentary seeks to present traditional Indian knowledge in a format that can engage modern audiences.
Focus on Emotion-Driven Storytelling
Sound of Som Productions is developing content across a range of genres, including feature films, documentaries, thrillers, suspense dramas, horror anthologies and microdrama series.
While the production house works across different genres, its creative approach places emphasis on characters, emotions and human experiences. The focus is on developing narratives that can establish an emotional connection with audiences rather than relying solely on spectacle.
Music as a Key Part of Its Creative Identity
Music remains an important part of Sound of Som Productions’ creative activities. Through Sound of Som Musicals, the company works on original compositions, devotional music, cinematic scores and independent musical releases.
The production house also explores the intersection of literature, poetry and music through creative concepts such as “Poetry Meets Music” and “Mehfil.”
These projects aim to bring together poetry, literature, melody and storytelling, creating musical experiences that can connect with audiences across different generations.
Creating a Collaborative Platform for Artists
Beyond content production, Sound of Som Productions is also developing itself as a collaborative platform for professionals from different creative disciplines.
Filmmakers, writers, musicians, poets, actors, designers and visual artists are brought together through various projects and initiatives. By encouraging collaboration between different creative fields, the company aims to provide opportunities for emerging talent while contributing to the growth of India’s independent creative ecosystem.
Evolving Tradition Through Creativity
For Somak Sinha and Bijoli Ghosh Karmakar, promoting Indian culture is not simply about preserving traditional forms exactly as they have existed in the past. Their approach focuses on allowing cultural traditions to evolve through creativity, innovation and contemporary storytelling.
Through cinema, music, fashion, documentaries and cultural events, Sound of Som Productions is working to connect India’s artistic diversity with modern forms of creative expression.
As the company continues to expand its portfolio of films, music, documentaries and cultural initiatives, its broader vision is to develop a creative movement in which entertainment serves a larger purpose—creating a bridge between India’s cultural heritage and contemporary artistic expression.
