“A much-needed heartbreak!”

The Hindu
Turning the tables "Fresh set of satire and comedy"

Times Of India
“Shruthi Raju put the quirks into her bold and original satire that highlight the idiosyncrasies of modern, urban and confused Indian man.”

Stage to Screen
Breaking out as Beyondwood
From theatre to cinema, Shruthi Raju and Chaitanya Varad have staged hundreds of plays across India under Underdog Entertainment—now breaking out as Beyondwood Films. This isn’t polite storytelling. It’s a raw brand of social commentary that collides slam poetry with satire and social consciousness. Entertainment that doesn’t sit quietly in a corner—it pokes, provokes, and dares you to laugh while you squirm.
Our latest film, What’s Up with Indian Men?!, is exactly that: a bold comedy about a woman’s search for connection in modern India, where navigating men, family, and societal norms collide in messy ways. A playful, irreverent yet thought-provoking satirical stripping of the modern Indian man. Tickling the funny bone (yes, pun intended) before twisting the knife
