INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces
of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including
industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced
controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has
served to accelerate the country’s growth, which has averaged more than 7% per
year since 1997. India’s diverse economy encompasses traditional village
farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries,
and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in
agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting
for more than half of India’s output, with only one-third of its labor force.
India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to
become a major exporter of information technology services and software
workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global
financial crisis – in large part because of strong domestic demand – and growth
exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India’s economic growth in
2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and
little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have
exacerbated the government’s fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher
fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform
took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed
legislative work. India’s medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young
population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and
investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has
many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including
widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited
non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and
higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

ACTIVITIES OF THE
COMPANY
Film Production
Under the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting executed its Plan Scheme “Film Production in
Various Regional Languages” through NFDC. From the same, NFDC produces films
under its extant guidelines for film production whereby it aims to encourage
emerging/debutant feature filmmakers by undertaking 100% production of their
first feature film and to produce/ co-produce good quality films in
partnership with private players both from India and
abroad.
During the year
2011-12, NFDC produced/ completed the following films, of which 5 were directed
by debutant filmmakers.
The Punjabi film Anhey Gorhey Da Daan (Alms of the Blind Horse), based on award-winning writer Gurdial Singh’s book of the same title, had its world premiere at the prestigious Venice International Film Festival in 2011, making it the first Punjabi Film to achieve international acclaim of this nature. The film went on to receive multiple awards at the 59th National Film Awards for 2011. It received the award for Best Punjabi Language Film. In addition, the Director of the film, Gurvindar Singh, was adjudged Best Director under the National Film Awards, while debutant Cinematographer Satya Rai Nagpaul received the award for Best Cinematographer. This film also won the Special Jury Mention and the Black Pearl Trophy at the 5th Abu Dhabi Film Festival and the Special Jury
Award at the International Film Festival, Rotterdam for its lyrical and scenic narration. The film has travelled all over the world since then, and has been showcased at the 55th London Film Festival, the Busan International Film Festival, and has most recently been exhibited at the MOMA in New York.
The Bhojpuri film HE… directed by Mangesh Joshi and Bengali film Sanskar directed by Nabendu Chatterjee were selected for Indian Panorama of 42nd International Film Festival of India and screened during the International Film Festival of India held in Goa in November 2011.
The film Shanghai,, directed by talented filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee has been made in collaboration with Dibakar Banerjee Productions and PVR Pictures, a leading exhibition, distribution and production company in India, Tasher Desh is being produced in association with Anurag Kashyap Films Private Limited and directed by upcoming director Q. Manjunath and Jal are coproduced with established professionals in the film and television industry of India.
Qissa, a Punjabi film directed by Anup Singh and co-produced with Heimat film of Germany, is the first film to be granted official recognition under the Co-Production Agreement between the Government of India and the Government of Germany. Irfan Khan’s attachment to the project, as the lead actor, gives the film a certain profile in the International markets. In addition, co-producers from Netherlands and France have also boarded this project.
Film Bazaar
NFDC
set up Film Bazaar India in 2007 in Goa alongside the International Film
Festival of India with the objective of creating a production and sales
platform that would ensure greater visibility of Indian cinema across world
markets. In 2010, the market was expanded to cater to the needs of cinemas of
South Asia. The event has now become a regular feature on the International
Market calendar for the International film industry. From a tentative start in
2007 with 170 delegates, Film Bazaar in 2011 saw the attendance of more than
635 delegates from 40 countries.
MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
REPORT
Industry Overview
The Indian Film Sector has to be seen in the context of the overall Media and Entertainment sector of the Indian economy. Its role and importance has to be gauged not by the size of the industry vis-à-vis the entire M and E Space, but the fact that film entertainment in India is a key driver for content on television, music, radio, animation and VFX, and advertising. While the overall industry size attributed to the Film Industry is only a small proportion of the M and E sector, there can be no denying the impact that film content has on the size and growth of other segments of the M and E Sector, given that popularity of film as a means of entertainment is unmatched in India by any other source of entertainment.
The film industry in India essentially comprises regional segments of filmmaking all over the country with films being made in more than 25 Indian languages. The biggest filmmaking centers in India in terms of language films are the Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, and Malayalam industries. Also prominent are Bengali and Bhojpuri films, with the latter having gained significant commercial success in recent years. It can safely be said that the film industry in India is not one cohesive whole, but is instead an amalgamation of several cinemas produced all over the country that aim to reflect their socio-cultural and economic aspirations.
There is no measurable database in India to gauge the actual size, annual production investments, accurate box office returns and other data of the film industry in India. This makes the task of facilitating the growth of the Indian Film industry that much more challenging and there is an need to put into place mechanisms that ensure maintenance of certain quantifiable parameters of performance of the film sector, as also a data bank of industry professionals across various streams of filmmaking. At present data available of film personnel is confined to industry personnel who are members of various film industry associations such as Film Federation of India, Film Producers’ Guild, Indian Motion Pictures Association, South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, East India Motion Pictures Association and many more. None of these organizations can claim to represent the interests of the entire Indian film sector and as such cannot provide accurate figures for the film sector.
STRUCTURE OF FILM
INDUSTRY
The basic segments of
the industry comprise of
Film Production: Production ranges from small-scale films of independent filmmakers based on personal finance and private backing to large-scale productions by corporate entities and financial investors. The number of feature films made each year consistently continue to be in the range of 800 to 1000 approximately in more than 25 languages. On the other hand, the documentary film movement is almost non-existent in India, with the bulk of documentary films being in the nature of films commissioned by government departments and ministries. There is thus a huge gap in the documentary film sector of the industry, unlike in other developed and developing countries, where documentaries are recognized as a medium of change, opinion making, and documentation of events. The production segment of the industry, as is the case of other sections of the film industry, is almost entirely driven by private enterprise, lacks organizational structures and does not institute best practices of film production in a uniform manner, unlike in the west where norms of film production are fairly well established. For instance, it is not recognized in India that film producers have a specific role and function to perform and more often than not, a filmmaker in India dons many hats for his film – that of producer, writer, director, and often editor as well. This impacts the final output of the film as the element of objectivity and professional skill sets required for the final product is often eroded.
Film Distribution: The distribution space has undergone several substantial changes in the past decade and more. The practice of purchase of films by distributors on a Minimum Guarantee basis has declined in recent years, and more often than not, the distributor is no longer a financial investor in the film. Distribution has also changed with fragmentation of markets between multiplex and stand-alone theatres and selective exhibition and release of films is being carried out increasingly. Sale of secondary or ancillary rights of films such as television, cable, and video is driven largely by the success of a film on a theatrical circuit, making the latter a crucial link in the film business.
Film Exhibition: It has been roughly estimated over the past decade or so that the Indian exhibition sector is equipped with roughly 10000-14000 theatres, including moving theatres (temporary structures that are moved from place to place in rural areas). However, there is no accurate recorded data in India about the actual number of theatres across the country. Notwithstanding that, it is a fact that the numbers of theatres in India are grossly disproportionate to population of the country when compared to screens available to audiences in other countries. Further, the exhibition space has undergone a marked fragmentation in the past decade after the influx of multiplexes. While multiplexes largely cater to urban audiences, high-ticket prices in a price sensitive economy have resulted in limited occupancy rates for the bulk of films released in the multiplexes. On the other hand, the proportionately extremely low ticket prices of stand alone theatres in Grade B and C centers do not make distribution of films in these centers a viable proposition for film distributors, thereby escalating the fragmentation of film audiences and non-availability of film content in smaller centers. A possible solution that is emerging in the scenario is digital exhibition.

National Film Development Corporation comes up
with latest movie, Maya Bazaar
June 5, 2012
Kolkata: National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) has come up with latest
movie, Maya Bazaar. As Kolkata swelters under scorching heat, well-known actors
like Dhritiman Chatterjee and Roopa Ganguly and others are geared up to add on
to the blaze with their latest screen outing in Maya Bazaar produced by the
NFDC.
Maya Bazaar, an
anthology of three stories - Smriti, Satwa and Bhobisshot -- drives you to a world
of obsession engulfed by memories, overwhelmed with illusion, desperately
trying to contemplate the absolute truth of life. While the young widow in
Smriti is obsessed with the absence of her husband, seeing any man as her
ex-husband, the prolific artist in Satwa is engrossed in his self-articulated
image of the girl frequenting his dreams. Bhobisshot summons up the age-old
argument of natural and supernatural.
"Every man
has his own mental world, his own mode of thinking. Every man creates a world
of good and evil, pleasure and pain, out of his own imagination only. My
character, Kuhu in Smriti, portrays that internal conflict within one self
through her anxious longing for her husband who is no more in this world,"
said Roopa Ganguly in a media meet.
Joydeep Ghosh,
the director, has already made a name for himself as a maker of documentary and
short films revolving around social issues. On weaving Maya Bazaar with three
stories into one complex plot, he said, "Maya Bazaar is a very thought
provoking film that compels you to think beyond the empirical world. It's a
movie for every sensible man who otherwise has a world of his own imagination.
There is a common link between all the stories, that is an obsession and
desperation to find something that is missing."
