Ah yes, the golden words every creator hears at least once a week:
“Bhai reel ka rate fix hai – ₹500 hi de sakte.”Of course, sir. Why not? After all, editing is just clicking buttons, right?
🎬 Here’s What You Get in ₹500 (According to Some Clients)
6 hours of shooting compressed into 15 seconds of magic
3 versions for “options” because your cousin didn’t like the font
Cinematic music, because it’s trending, bro!
Color grading that makes biryani look like a Van Gogh painting
And don’t forget – 24x7 WhatsApp support because “urgent post daalna hai yaar!”
All this for ₹500. Because clearly, we creators are living off hopes, dreams, and leftover biryani.
💼 “It’s Just a Reel, Why So Expensive?”
You're right. It’s just a reel.Just like how a cup of chai is just hot water and leaves.Or how a car is just some metal on wheels.Or how your brand is just some pixels on a screen.
But sure, let’s reduce hours of brainstorming, shooting, editing, and revisions to the price of a large pizza.
🤝 Reality Check
Creativity is not charity.Time, effort, skill, software, gear — they all cost money.So the next time someone says,“Bhai ₹500 final hai…”Maybe gently remind them that even auto-rickshaw guys charge more — and they don’t come with cinematic transitions.
🙌 To Fellow Creators
Hold your ground. Know your worth.And if ₹500 doesn’t even cover your editing software’s monthly fee — say it louder.
Reels cost more than ₹500. So should your respect.
