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,...

Vaibhav Modi, who has written and produced the upcoming streaming series ‘Mukhbir – The Story of a Spy’, has revealed his favourite character from the show, which he enjoyed penning down.
Writers always have their favourites when it comes to characters. With multiple characters the series promises to introduce on screen, Vaibhav spoke about the character he enjoyed creating the most.
He said, “It has to be Colonel Zaidi. While the character is supposed to be cruel and menacing, we wanted people to want to watch more of him. He is a man full of contradictions. On one hand, he is cruel and sadistic and on the other, he is a hardcore nationalist, serious about protecting his country.”
Talking about what makes the character truly compelling for him, Vaibhav shared, “The task of capturing the temperature of his dialogues, sadism and sarcasm was a very interesting process for me as a writer.
