As the Executive Producer of “Chaalchitro: The Frame Fatale,” navigating the complexities of releasing a Bengali film in today’s market has been both challenging and rewarding. Despite the industry’s current struggles, our film has garnered positive word-of-mouth and favorable media reactions. Notably, The Times of India praised it as “a new slick story about serial killers,” highlighting its intriguing narrative and strong character development. However, the film’s release coincided with a crowded schedule, as four Bengali films premiered simultaneously, competing against major releases like “Pushpa 2: The Rule” and “Mufasa: The Lion King.” This intense competition limited the number of available screens and showtimes for regional films, including ours. To sustain and build upon our film’s success, increased support from theaters is crucial. Allocating more screens and favorable showtimes would significantly enhance accessibility and viewership, contributing to the revitalization of Bengali cinema. In conclusion, while “Chaalchitro” has achieved commendable success amid a challenging landscape, collaborative efforts from all industry stakeholders are essential to overcome the current crisis and restore the vibrancy of Bengali cinema. https://lnkd.in/g8Pa2Ev2

The End of an Era? For the past two decades, TV Drama has been experiencing a renaissance, "A Golden Age". At the heart of this era were the groundbreaking shows The Sopranos, The Wire, and my personal favourite, Mad Men - a 'holy trinity' that redefined the narrative possibilities of the small screen. These shows brought complex characters, intricate plots, and cinematic production values to TV audiences, setting a high bar for storytelling and craftsmanship. However, certain factors suggest that the decline of prestige TV dramas may be upon us. These include content fatigue caused by oversaturation, the continuing rise of low-budget reality TV and unscripted content, and the trend for shorter seasons led by a push for immediate returns on investment. Interestingly, as TV drama seems to be waning, there are signs that we might be on the cusp of a second golden age for cinema, driven in part by social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where there seems to be a growing appetite for longer, more immersive formats. On these platforms, filmmakers and content creators, aided by technological advances, are experimenting with narrative structures that harken back to classic cinematic traditions, potentially paving the way for a resurgence in feature-length storytelling. So, what are you currently watching that bucks - or proves the trend? #TV #drama #Film #nostalgia #socialmedia #goldenage https://lnkd.in/eWHf_RvH

"The news about Laapataa Ladies not making it to the Oscar shortlist, while Santosh, a Hindi-language film directed by UK-based filmmaker Sandhya Suri, securing a spot, raises an important question: Why do films with an Indian backdrop and Indian actors resonate with international audiences, while films made by Indian filmmakers often struggle to achieve the same recognition? Is it the storytelling approach? The balance of cultural authenticity and universal appeal? Or perhaps the global perspective that external filmmakers bring? Indian stories have immense potential to connect with audiences worldwide, yet this gap in recognition. What do you think are the key factors that make Indian stories click with international audiences? https://lnkd.in/dTKCGGDJ

Got an opportunity to repair the screenplay of the Marathi film "Apsara" which was released on 10th May. At that time I understood one thing, a film cannot be made only by shooting, but also putting it in the right sequence is a great art. For that, it is equally important to watch the shot continuously, take note of the need of each scene, and accordingly improve it by considering the next and previous scenes. https://lnkd.in/dEZM2jh3
