Why are most Hindi streaming shows about crime and violence? What exactly are a showrunner and a writers' room? Are Mirzapur, The Family Man, Sacred Games and Scam 1992 the new blockbusters? How do streaming shows even make money? Through a series of conversations with actors, artists, filmmakers, producers and platform heads, Suchin Mehrotra, one of the few film journalists and critics solely dedicated to covering the world of streaming, sets out to answer these questions to help navigate and provide a narrative to the beast of streaming.
For wider exhibition you need good, rooted & relatable content which resonates with the masses. Today's content esp from the bollywood ecosystem is not just subpar, it is the opposite of it, except few of course which ironically are some of the most successful too. Taking the template & ideologies from the west & giving it an Indian flavour is not going to cut it. Whoever has their finger on the pulse of the larger audience will win, accept it.
Love Sumukhi !!!!! Her ingenuity and originality, the transcendental humor !!!! Please reorder kore. Show yourself more. Express more. Representation does Matter. And we need that.
Hey Suchin! You're doing a great job! Thanks for having these conversations! I had a request. If a screenwriter wants to pitch their bible to a producer like Siddharth, how can they reach out to them what kind of prep should a screenwriter be armed with in order to make the pitch? Could you ask a question like this to the producers/studio heads you're interviewing? It'll be a great help to aspiring screenwriters, since most of us aren't aware of the nitty-gritties of it. Thanks :)
I am an art critic and a journalist and I so so so appreciate your questions Suchin. these conversations feel like they add to my worldview as opposed to chew out the same ol same old media - journalist conversations with artists. Appreciate you n this show a lot!
These guys think people like Jhanvi is an actor .... SLOW CLAPS for these medicore editors who are just blabbering anything and trust me its all wrong !!! In a Poor Country like INDIA , there is no concept of an editor coz we don't even an apt edit culture, its the director who takes all the call's while editing , these guys are just operators who knows the software thats it ... Film Editor is itself a different narrator and that is not practised in INDIA ...
@Suchin I came across your channel today. It’s great to finally see a host who has carried out his research, can ask intelligent questions, can hold his own and let’s the guest speak rather than sharing his own life experiences (as if anybody cares about them). Keep it going.
@@suchinmehrotra suchin your interviews are a DELIGHT! Learning so much from you and very happy to see how passionate you are about the craft, keep going, more success to you!
Isn't there some way the mikes can be placed from above, or attached to the interviewees? Placed in front of them makes them seem so confined and trapped.
Hahaha i thought ki budget issue sirf tv main hai editors ke liye but yeh bimari toh web series & films main bhi hai....you can pay more to those assistant editor as you only hire them... they work for you only... increse your budget na why to worry as u ppl are big name now....one more thing how to get webseries or projects as this industry only works on contacts...& new genration have very less chance if you don't have contacts...thanks for bringing behind camera's hero's in front...
Yes, more of this, please. Please bring in more editors, cinematographers and technical artists. Because, unlike other industries, people don't give them enough respect nor cover them as much as they should. There is obviously a lot of insights and knowledge that we can get them. So, thank you for doing this. 🫡❤️
I don’t understand what’s the problem if a driver gets paid more than the actor?? Please check with the cab driver who drops you at home after your shift ends, there is a high chance he gets paid much more than you do … A movie story / script is possibly the most important asset in making a movie- how much does a writer get paid?? What facilitated the agent ecosystem in our film industry?? Kalki is made with a budget of 450 crores, the Chandrayaan was carried out in a budget of 600 crores! In a country people get what they deserve to get!! We promote cheap entertainment, discard intelligence.
43:14 & 44:02 WTH!🤣🤣 Just as they are expressing how transitions and cuts are used wrongly, you gave an example of it to the viewer😂 Great job Rahul Krishnan bhai! Your work is appreciated🤌
