Internationally sourced programming and stories placed alongside local content could be a solution to bring audiences back to Indian cinemas, a high-powered panel debated.
The panel was part of Indiantelevision.com’s annual industry event, The Content Hub, that recently concluded in Mumbai. Mayank Shroff, head of film distribution at Cinepolis, the Indian division of Latin American exhibition giant Cinepolis, said that while footfalls were back to 85% of pre-pandemic days, an innovative approach is required to bring the rest of the audiences back.
Shroff pointed to the success of Makoto Shinkai’s anime film “Suzume,” which accounted for 20% of the Cinepolis box office over the past weekend and “Evil Dead Rise,” which also pulled in decent numbers, both in the face of stiff competition from Eid holiday release “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,” starring superstar Salman Khan. Shroff also said that there was demand for Korean films and K-pop concerts,...

A group of leading Indian filmmakers and producers discussed strategies for bringing local audiences back into cinemas following the huge rise in Ott consumption in India, at a panel at the International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa.
“The platforms existed before the pandemic and people flirted with them, but when the pandemic happened they took Ott home and started consuming content across different languages and genres,” said Vivek Krishnani, CEO of IN10 Media Network and former Sony India head. “When cinemas opened again, people were shy to return, but the choice of content that drives them to cinemas can’t be same.”
Director-producer Ramesh Sippy, whose credits include iconic Indian films such as Sholay, said this was an issue even before the rise of streaming: “There was a time when you only had to announce a film and people would rush to the cinema without knowing exactly what they were going to see.

We hope this family entertainer touches your hearts the same way it has touched ours!” says Vivek Krishnani, MD, Sony Pictures Entertainment, India.

Mollywood The Hollywood giant will be joining hands with Prithviraj Productions for an untitled Malayalam film. Digital NativeActor Prithviraj Sukumaran’s tryst with film production began with August Cinemas, a production house that he founded along with ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan, actor Arya and Shaji Nadesan. The production house’s first venture was the Prabhu Deva starrer Urumi, released in 2011. The next film, produced under this banner, Indian Rupee, went on to win the prestigious National Film Award - Best Feature Film in Malayalam and Kerala State Film Award - Best Film. Despite being a successful production house, Prithviraj announced last year that he will be moving out of August Cinemas to launch his own production house. Actor Prithviraj announced the launch of his own banner co-founded with his wife Supriya Menon and it will be the first home production. The actor had named his production house Prithviraj Productions. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures International is all set to expand into Indian regional cinema. The Hollywood giant is joining hands with Prithviraj Sukumaran for an untitled Malayalam film. The film will be made in collaboration with Prithviraj Productions and the movie will go on floors by mid-April 2018. Prithviraj Sukumaran took to social media and confirmed that he would be joining hands with Sony Pictures, for his first home production in Malayalam cinema. In a press statement released, Prithviraj has been quoted as saying, “It started with what I thought was a casual conversation over coffee with Vivek Krishnani, MD, Sony Pictures India. I was trying to convince him that if ideas that would make entertaining films and yet stay away from conventions were what they were looking for, then Malayalam cinema is the place to be,” "In more ways than one, I believe it is a landmark event for Malayalam film industry. Sony Pictures, the international studio behind iconic blockbusters and entertainers like 2012 (2009), the Spider-Man franchise and most recently Jumanji (2017), ramped up its local production with Pad Man (2018) early this year and is now stepping into the small and dense world of Malayalam cinema. "What makes this partnership doubly exciting is the nature of the film that we're producing together...More announcements about this partnership and our first film will soon follow," wrote Prithviraj Sukumaran in a detailed post on his Twitter handle. On the career front, Prithviraj is currently working on the period drama Kaali, Aadujeevitham, based on the Malayalam novel by Benyamin, and My Story, a romantic comedy directed and produced by Roshni Dinaker. His Ranam is expected to release soon. (Content provided by Digital Native)...
