Four things, four prices, and no useful way to tell them apart from the names. Let's fix that.
The right question isn't which is best. It's who is receiving it, and how do they behave when they're moved?
That sounds like a strange way to choose a gift. It's the only one that works. Some people want to be undone in front of everyone. Most Indian fathers would rather be shot.
Start here: the person, not the product
They cry easily and don't mind it. → N° 04 · Memory Film They'd deflect from anything sincere. → N° 03 · Custom Song They're far away, or you can't say it in person. → N° 02 · Voice Letter They're gone, or very old, and you have one photograph. → N° 01 · Living Portrait
Now the detail.
N° 01 · Living Portrait - ₹299
One photograph, brought to life.
This is the smallest thing we make and often the heaviest. It's for the single surviving photo of a grandparent. The one on the wall in the village house. The one that's been photocopied so many times the face has gone soft.
Get this if: you have almost no material - one image, no video, no voice. Don't get this if: you have a phone full of photos. You want N° 04. Where it lands: quietly, on a phone screen, usually alone.
N° 02 · Voice Letter - ₹499
Something spoken, made into something kept.
This is the one for the things that don't survive being said out loud. Apologies. Thank-yous to parents. The sentence you've been carrying for eleven years.
It's also the answer for distance. A voice arrives in a way a parcel doesn't.
Get this if: you're abroad · you can't say it to their face · they insisted they don't want a gift. Don't get this if: the occasion is a party. This is a private object; it doesn't play to a room. Where it lands: in a kitchen, on a phone, replayed.
N° 03 · Custom Song - ₹999
An original song built from your actual story.
The one for people who can't take sincerity head-on. A song is oblique. It lets the recipient laugh at the first verse and go quiet at the third without ever having to admit the transition happened.
It's also the most forwardable thing we make. Songs get sent to the family group in about ninety seconds.
Get this if: they deflect · siblings · partners · you want it shared. Don't get this if: you're marking forty years of a marriage in front of the whole family. Too light for the weight, and for that you want N° 04. Where it lands: on a phone, then in the family group, then in everyone's phones.
N° 04 · Memory Film - ₹2,999
Photos, footage and story, cut into a short film.
The big one. Built to play on a television in a full room. Milestone anniversaries, sixtieth birthdays, weddings, memorials - the occasions where the family gathers and the whole point is to look backwards together.
Get this if: it's a milestone · the family will be in one room · you have 20+ photos. Don't get this if: you're sending something small and private. Look at N° 02. Where it lands: on a TV, in front of everyone, badly connected three times before it works.

What everyone asks
Can I combine them? Yes, and for milestone anniversaries it's common - a Memory Film for the room and a Voice Letter for your mother afterwards.
What if my photos are bad? Send them. Blurry scans, photographs of photographs, screenshots. It's what we work with most of the time.
What if I don't have photos at all? Then don't send any. Photos help, but they're optional - a voice note or a written memory is enough for the team to start.
How much do I have to write? Nothing. Send a voice note. Ramble. Hinglish is fine and usually better - the emotional part tends to come out in Hindi and the clarity in English, and we'd rather have both than a tidy paragraph.
What if it isn't good? You see a teaser within 24 hours, well before the piece is finished, so you can redirect us while it's easy to redirect. And 3,753+ of these have been made - a lot of the work is public on our Instagram if you want to look before you decide anything.
How do I start? WhatsApp. That's the whole process.
Still not sure
Message us and describe the person. Not the occasion - the person. How they are at family functions, whether they'd cry, what they'd say if you gave them something sincere.
We'll tell you which one, and we'll tell you if the answer is the ₹299 one.
Photos storage hain. Stories memories hain.
