WHY PRODUCERS SWITCH

Rain kills the day. Your books shouldn't lose the money.

The hardest case: the money already left, and the spreadsheet lets you delete the row. Movie Desk keeps the record — total, wasted, actual — schedule by schedule.

  • Mark a day or whole schedule cancelled, nothing deleted
  • Prep, strike, set and props waste counted with it
  • Total, wasted, actual — in one export
SPREADSHEET
no record. deleted.

Row deleted. The ₹1,48,000 never existed. Your financier asks what the rain cost and nobody can answer.

MOVIE DESK
₹1,48,000

Day 13 marked cancelled. Wasted on the books, actual shoot spend clean, one report across the table.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. Every film.

  1. 01
    Log every rupee, the day it leaves
    Add an expense in seconds. Contact autocompletes, PAN + GST auto-populate, TDS calculates itself.
  2. 02
    Categorise by department, phase, day
    Every entry lands in the right ledger. Sub-departments, categories, packages — nothing floats.
  3. 03
    Mark cancelled days, don't delete them
    Rain, hero unavailable, permission delayed. The day gets a cancel tag. The money stays on record.
  4. 04
    See total, wasted, actual — export it
    Daily cost sheet. TDS register. GST invoices. Excel or PDF, one click, ready for your financier.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my production data secure?+
Yes. Every record is protected by database-level access controls. One production house can never see another's books. All traffic is TLS-encrypted, data at rest is AES-256. Built on SOC 2 Type II audited cloud infrastructure, with daily backups and point-in-time recovery.
Can I run multiple films at once?+
Yes. Each film is a workspace, isolated at the database layer. Switch between them from the header, or give different films to different teams. The books never bleed.
Does it handle TDS and GST properly?+
Yes. TDS is calculated with correct 194C and 194J logic, the ₹30,000 single-payment and ₹1,00,000 annual thresholds are enforced automatically, and there's a full TDS register you can export. GST invoices are generated in-app with HSN codes, place of supply and org details pulled from your profile.
Can my CA and accountant access it?+
Yes. Custom roles scope access to one film. Your CA can view TDS and remuneration for a single project without seeing anything else. Owner, admin, accountant, CA and viewer roles are built in.
Is it only for Telugu films?+
It's built on Telugu sets, but the language of production - schedules, batta, prep, strike, release orders, packages - is the same across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada cinema. Movie Desk works for all of South Indian production.
What if we're mid-shoot already?+
Common. Start with your current schedule, bring across the departments and contacts you're already using, and load closing balances as opening entries. You'll be running from Movie Desk by the next call sheet.
