History

[edit | edit source]

Stone Bench was founded by Indian film director Karthik Subbaraj in 2015. Subbaraj's brother-in-law, Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, works as the main producer for the studio.[1] The company made its debut film production with Bench Talkies in 2015, which it self-distributed. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Guru Somasundaram and Sananth Reddy in the lead roles. It is a collection of six short films directed by six different directors. On 25 March 2015, it was released in a limited number of theaters.[2] The film received mixed reviews from critics. A critic of The Times of India gave it 3 out of 5, stating that "the compilation of six films from six filmmakers in different genres makes it an entertaining experience".[3]

After their debut production, the production company announced their second production, Aviyal, which is the second part of Bench Talkies.[4] It was released on 12 February 2016 in theaters, and had a special premiere at the 13th Chennai International Film Festival on 10 January 2016. On 11 March 2016, it was released on over 70 screens in Tamil Nadu, 30 screens in Kerala, and a few screens in the United States.[5]
