History was made tonight in Andheri as the Indian entertainment industry witnessed a first-of-its-kind event – the premiere of a vertical micro web show. The star-studded evening at Red Bulb Studios, marked the grand unveiling of Dil Dosti Finance, the debut original from Miniatures Drama. The show is powered by the Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance and created by Four Brothers Films. Streaming from 12 PM, 15th August 2025 on YouTube’s Miniatures Drama channel.

In a dazzling celebration of storytelling for the mobile generation, the cast and crew walked on the yellow carpet, posed for flashes, and soaked in the excitement of showcasing their creation in front of an invited audience. The premiere was a rare fusion – the glitz of cinema meets the intimacy of smartphone storytelling.

Yellow Carpet is a term coined by Miniatures Drama, to be used for premieres of Vertical Micro Dramas.

A Landmark Moment for Storytelling
For the first time in India, a premiere (first ever yellow carpet) was dedicated to a show shot entirely in vertical format – a bold step reflecting the way audiences consume content today. Special projection screens at the venue recreated the smartphone experience, giving guests a taste of this innovative storytelling style on a grand scale.

About the Show
Streaming 12 PM, 15th August 2025 on YouTube’s Miniatures Drama channel, Dil Dosti Finance is a heartwarming yet gritty tale of three friends from different worlds, brought together by advanced financial studies but united by a single burning dream – freedom. Freedom from poverty, from haunting memories, from abuse, and towards a life they choose for themselves.

The show stars Chetan Sharma, Shailja Chaturvedi, and Ayaz Pasha in lead roles, supported by Rishika Chandani, Kalpana Rao, Swapnil Srirao, Sayalee Meshram, and Sarmista Dhar. It is written and directed by Himanshu Raj Talreja, who takes his first steps into direction with this project, powered by the Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance. The show is co-written by Kartikeya Bahuguna and Shailja Chaturvedi and produced by Himanshu Raj Talreja, Abhijit Biswas, Nitish Mukherjee.

Yellow Carpet Buzz

The energy at the premiere was electric as industry peers, friends, and well-wishers came together to applaud the team’s fresh vision. The creators, dressed in their premiere best, spoke passionately about redefining how stories can be told.

Director Himanshu Raj Talreja shared:

“We’ve grown up loving big-screen drama, but the screen is now in everyone’s pocket and it is a new stage. This premiere is not just a launch, it’s the start of a new way of connecting stories to people’s hearts.”

What Makes It Special
Unlike traditional premieres, this event celebrated a compact, impactful, mobile-first drama format – shot vertically, crafted intelligently, and told with the same heart as any cinematic project. Miniatures Drama aims to keep stories relatable, heartfelt, and accessible – without chasing empty viral trends.

As the lights dimmed and the first episode rolled, guests leaned in, absorbed by the intimacy and intensity of the vertical frame. The verdict? A resounding thumbs-up.

With this historic premiere, Dil Dosti Finance doesn’t just mark the debut of a show – it signals a shift in how India will watch stories in the years to come.
