Produced by Amazon MiniTV and Terribly Tiny Tales, "ARRANGED" rests upon the premise of the age old tradition of arranged marriages but is viewed with a completely fresh set of eyes. The film's story while simple, has unexpected twists that catch the viewer by surprise.

While accompanying the band "Coshish" on a trip to the mountains for a music video shoot, Ritesh and the band decided to also sneak in a lyrics video for their other track "Bhula do".
This music video was made with whatever equipment, material and time available.
