INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE:

 

The Entertainment industry grew at a marginal 2% as indicated in PWC’s research report and while some sectors of the industry have shown healthy growths sectors such as print, film and OOH have shown negative growth with film sector showing -11% growth as against the GDP growth which is estimated to be between 8-9%.

Developments that have occurred during the year which are likely to affect the industry positively or negatively include

 

a)       While growth in the multiplexes continues growth rates have slowed down.

b)       There is almost a total collapse in the home video market. In an effort to reduce video sell through rates to match the street prices of the pirates, video as a territory for producers has been killed.

c)       Physical formats in music has virtually collapsed and the primary business continues to be in the download and mobile CRBT segment.

d)       Producers are under pressure to recover almost their entire production costs primarily from the theatrical market and satellite rights. This has brought down margins and made production a risky proposition.

e)        Internet downloads have not taken off significantly but streaming has taken off in a big way. Its monetization in any significant way is yet to happen given the ad driven revenue model with too many intermediaries.

f)         The DTH market is growing well and seems to be on track and may become a major competitor to cable in years to come. HD channels on DTH will further spurt the growth.

g)       The emergence of 3G on the horizon gives hope for increased content use and monetization in the mobile space.

h)       FM radio continues to be stable, however further licensing has got delayed significantly.

i)         IPL has made cricket into a major entertainment event and despite the various controversies surrounding the IPL it has remained and will continue to be the single largest happening in sports entertainment space.

j)         The entry of Hollywood Studios in the production space has not made any waves as the early entrants have not had good pay offs.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company slowed down in its production sector and released only two movies which were in the pipeline “Paying Guest” directed by Paritossh Painter starring Shreyas Talpade, Jaaved Jafferi, Aashish Chowdhary, Vatsal Sheth, Celina Jaitly, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen, Sayali Bhagat and others and “Right Yaaa Wrong” directed by Neeraj Pathak starring Sunny Deol, Irrfan Khan, Eesha Koppikhar, Konkona Sen, Sanjay Singh, Deepal Shaw and others. Owing to the collapse of the buyers, Mukta Arts had to risk releasing both the movies itself. Neither of the two movies performed very well at the Box Office, “Paying Guest” had an average run and “Right Yaaa Wrong” despite getting good critical acclaim was overrun by the IPL which took place at the time of release. This resulted in the Company having significant losses during the year. The losses were also high as the Company amortised the entire cost of the movies at release, despite the fact that some of the rights would be sold in subsequent years.

 

The movies in the pipeline include “Hello Darling” (releasing on 27th August) and “Paschim Express” which uses fresh talent from WWIL. This is a bold new experiment using talent from the pool generated by WWIL and if this succeeds we hope to scale this up in a big way. The other movies in the pipeline is the Bengali movie “Nauka Dubi” directed by Rituparno Ghosh which is now complete and we expect to release it in the forthcoming year which is also the 150th Birth Anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, since the movie is based on one of his stories. Company has signed well known Director, Mr. Priyadarshan to direct one of its forthcoming films.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND EXHIBITION:

 

The Company’s distribution and exhibition business did reasonably well during the year. Among the movies distributed during the year were “Acid Factory”, “All the Best”, “Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge”, “Aa Dekhe Zara”, “Avatar”, “District-9”, ”Jail”, ”Ishqiya”, ”My Name is Khan”, ”Shaapit”, ”Teen Patti”, “ X-Man Origins” etc.

 

The Company had withdrawn from exhibition booking after its tie-up as PVR ended. The Company has thereafter tied up with Reliance Big Cinemas and is currently booking for all their theatres in addition to several other exhibitors in Delhi, UP and Punjab.

 

The Company has also taken an initiative in signing up for a few theatres in new Malls in A class cities as also in tier two and three cities in an effort to convert them into low cost miniplexes and plans to expand rapidly in this space. They would have digital screenings, comfortable seating, air cooled / air conditioned and computerized booking.

 

The Company has completed the Audeus and Communication Centre complex. A major portion of the Audeus complex has been leased out to NDTV Imagine now taken over by Turner International, a Viacom company. A major portion of the Communication Centre has been leased out to Reliance Media Works Limited. Mukta Arts offices have moved to the top floor of the Communication Centre which is now called as Mukta House. Some portion of the Audeus complex and Mukta House are yet to be leased out and we hope to lease it out soon.

 

WHISTLING WOODS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED:

 

During the year WWIL showed good growth and its student community continued to increase. WWIL has virtually become a most visited spot for those interested in Bollywood and the Film City. Among the important guests that visited WWIL include the Premier of Bermuda Ewart Brown and the US Under Secretary Ms. Judith McHale, Consul General of the US-Paul Folmsbee and the Consul General of the Netherlands- Ms. Marieke Littel. During the year, films of Whistling Woods International students were sent to various Film Festivals including the PIFF 2010.

 

An animation film made by WWI students won the Best Film Award at the PIFF Students competitive section and MIFF 2010. The Mumbai International Children’s Film Festival and IberMumbai were conducted at the WWI campus. In another significant development WWIL has tied up with the CBSE and Centum Learning Limited (a Bharti Airtel associate company). The tie-ups are based on WWI developing curriculum and programmes in Media and Entertainment studies for CBSE 11th and 12th standard and for Graduates and Post Graduates for Centum Learning. Part of the training will be done at WWIL.

 

COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE

 

During the year the total revenues of the Company were placed at Rs. 942,175,412 as compared to Rs 1,677,501,284 of last year.
