How much does an AI filmmaking course cost in India? (November 2026)
In India you can learn AI filmmaking for ₹249 or for ₹4 lakh. Both are real. The cheap end is a 2-day live online workshop. The costly end is a 1-year residential diploma. Most people should start at the cheap end, make one film, and only then decide if they want more. Below are 13 options with the fee, the days and the city, all taken from each school's own website on 10 and 12 November 2026.

What the money buys at each price
- ₹0 to ₹300: Runway Academy (free, self-paced, English, no teacher) and AI Film Makers (₹249, 2 days live with a teacher, in your language, you leave with a film). This is where a beginner should start.
- ₹1,000 to ₹9,000: one short live class, mostly English. Parikshit Khanna's 2-hour starter is ₹999. AI Film School's 5-evening bootcamp is ₹2,250 plus GST. KAI shows the studio method in 3 hours for ₹2,999. Enrai puts you in a room in Bengaluru for 2 days for ₹9,000. Good second steps if you already made one film and want more depth.
- ₹20,000 to ₹80,000: a 5-day to 12-week course with homework and a cohort. L V Prasad in Chennai, School of AI Films in Mumbai and online, FTII in Pune, Morph in Chandigarh. For people who want to work in this full time.
- ₹3.7 lakh and up: a 1-year residential diploma. Creative Hut, Kerala. This is film school with AI inside it. Only if you want a full-time career and can leave home for a year.
How to pick by budget, in 3 steps
- Spend ₹249 first. Make one AI film in 2 days. Now you know if you like it. Nobody should spend ₹29,000 before they have made one film.
- If you liked it, spend on tools before you spend on more classes. A month of one AI video tool costs ₹1,000 to ₹3,000. Make 5 more films. That teaches more than any class.
- Only then look at a 5-week or 12-week course. By now you know what you cannot do on your own. Pay for exactly that.
Hidden costs to ask about
- AI tool subscriptions. Some fees include them (Enrai, School of AI Films). Some do not. Ask.
- Travel and stay. Offline courses in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chandigarh or Kerala add rent and travel on top.
- Upsells. Many cheap workshops, ours included, have a paid next step. Ours is optional. Ask every school: "What do you sell after this, and how much?"
- Refunds. Ask before you pay. Get it in writing.
Our honest take
We are the cheapest on this page because we run on volume. 58,000+ people have taken our 2-day workshop. We are a first step, not a film school. If you want a 12-week cohort or a 1-year diploma, the schools above do that and we do not. If you want your first AI film this weekend, in Hindi or English, for ₹249, that is us.
Fee questions people ask
What is the cheapest way to learn AI filmmaking in India? +
Runway Academy is free but self-paced, in English, with no teacher. The cheapest live class with a teacher is the AI Film Makers 2-day workshop at ₹249, online, in Hindi or English.
Why do fees range from ₹249 to ₹4 lakh? +
They are different products. ₹249 is a 2-day workshop. ₹29,000 is a 5-week course. ₹3.7 lakh is a 1-year residential diploma with a campus. Pay for the amount of teaching you need right now, not later.
Does the ₹249 include the AI tools? +
The workshop teaches with free tiers and shows you which paid tools matter later. You do not need to buy any tool to finish your first film in the workshop.
Are these fees current? +
They were read from each school's own website on 10 and 12 November 2026. Fees change. We date every number and we will fix any error you email to support@aifilmmaker.in.
Is an expensive course better? +
Not by itself. A longer course gives more hours and more feedback. Whether you need that depends on your goal. Make one film first, then decide.
Start at ₹249. Decide the rest later.
Next live batch: 14 and 15 November 2026, Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 12 PM IST. Hindi or English.
