Indian Movie Entrepreneurship cover

One of the world’s most prolific creative industries, the Indian movie industry

has received scant attention for its spirit of enterprise. Indian Movie Entrepreneurship

addresses this omission.

For many readers, it might come as a surprise that the Indian movie industry is

not just Bollywood and that it has several regional clusters, which are just as vibrant,

with a significant output. The authors begin by outlining the contours of Indian

cinema and the different regional language hubs that form part of the larger picture.

The reader is then offered a glimpse into the actual process of making a film

from day zero to release day. The key players in the Indian movie ecosystem are

analysed, with the central role of the producer highlighted. Concluding with a look

into the future of the entrepreneurial process in the Indian movie industry, the

authors illuminate the shifting parameters of distribution and exhibition.

Appealing to those interested in understanding the entrepreneurial journey of

the Indian movie industry, the book provides a sneak peek into the business

landscape of India more broadly.

'Producers are the backbone of a movie industry and this book perfectly chronicles the challenges faced by movie producers' -- Arya, Actor and Producer

‘In the past 2 decades, by organising the Chennai International Film Festival, we have successfully placed Chennai on the World map of Cinema.

‘Born and brought up in the amazing world of Indian cinema, for me it is riveting to read the incredibly challenging journey of a film entrepreneur that is captured very well in this book’ -- Sanjay Wadhwa, Third generation movie entrepreneur, financier, distributor and content aggregator
