Complex Economics of Bollywood Movies: Profit and Loss Explained

Profit and loss issues in Bollywood movies are a bit complicated. To understand it well, one must have a clear idea about the business model of Bollywood. The amount of money it takes to make a good Bollywood movie today is almost impossible for a single person to afford. The budget of an average mainstream Bollywood film is currently around 50 crores. Big production houses do the money-spending work of making these films.

Film shooting, production, post production – all these are the responsibility of the director. He is usually contracted against a fixed fee per movie. After all the editing, the film becomes the property of the producer when it is fully made. Then the producer or production company takes it to the distributor.

If the film’s net collection is more than the film’s budget, then the film is considered profitable. Even if the state government makes the state tax free, the central government has to pay a tax of 6%-9%, depending on the budget of the film.

There are three types of profit sharing systems between producers and distributors. Let’s talk about minimum guaranteed royalties at the outset. In this system the distributor pays a certain amount of money to the producer. Again the producer sells the film outright to the distributor. Now whether this film will be released in the river by the distributor or will be released in theaters is entirely up to the distributor. Even if the film earns money from time to time, it belongs to the distributor.

In the 3rd method, the producer pays the distributor based on the dividend. This is the most common method. Here all the risk is on the producer, the distributor has less risk. Distributors interact with sub-distributors in different parts of India. Sub-distributors are divided into separate distributions, called distribution circuits.

In the case of big-budget films, the verdict of the film often depends on the popularity of the actor. Meanwhile, Salman Khan got the benefit. Many of his epic films also survived box office flops. Actors are often seen entering into profit-sharing agreements with distributors. For example, Aamir Khan. He basically works on a zero salary and profit-sharing agreement. In this case, if the film is commercially successful, the actor will get 50%-80% of the dividend.

Many actors again work on the half-salary-half-profit-sharing model. For example, Salman Khan’s movie Sultan. Sultan’s total collection at the box office was around Rs 500 crore. Its entertainment tax was Rs 106 crore. Hence, the net collection of the film is Rs 394 crore. In fact, Salman charges around Rs 70 crore per movie.

Sade Sholo: Probing the Nexus of Politics, Power, and Deception

The ‘Kurosawa effect’ in cinema refers to when different individuals provide markedly different yet equally plausible versions of the same event. This phenomenon, also known as the ‘Rashomon Effect’, creates a challenge in discerning the truth from falsehood.

In the web series ‘Sade Sholo’, a dialogue between police officer Altaf (Imtiaz Varshan) and labor leader Ghaffar (Shaheed Ali) serves as a reminder that our lives are intertwined with politics, influencing our success, failure, survival, and demise. The series explores the interconnections between politics, economy, power, and various aspects of our lives. ‘Sade Sholo’, released on the Hochichi OTT platform on August 16, is based on a narrative centered around death and its consequences, produced by Ali Afzal Ujjwal.

The elite capital hotel, Violet Inn, boasts an exclusive floor named ‘Sade Sholo’, frequented by the affluent and VIPs for deals, leisure, and sometimes even honeytraps. Following the tragic collapse of the Empire Shoe Factory building, resulting in the death of over 300 workers and injuries to more than 700, lawyer Ashfaq Reza from the Kepler Builders Group visits ‘Sade Sholo’ with his girlfriend Natasha the night before a crucial hearing. Journalist Rini, with a history of conflict with Ashfaq Reza, arrives at ‘Sade Sholo’ aiming to ensnare him in a honeytrap and obstruct his next day’s hearing.

The intricate web of plots involves Rakib, a member of Kepler’s group who conspires against them, and ADC Altaf, responding to a call from his former girlfriend Rini. Amidst these machinations, Natasha is found dead in room number 1652, the same room she shared with Ashfaq Reza. The series delves into the mystery of Natasha’s demise, the identity of the murderer, and the circumstances surrounding her death. The answers to these questions await viewers who watch the entire series.

Unlike typical suspense productions, ‘Sade Sholo’ opts for a distinct absence of groovy background music. This departure includes a rhythmic auditory experience characterized by continuous beats, an innovation previously unseen in Bangladeshi serials. Nevertheless, scenes featuring dialogues without background music, coupled with foley and ambient sounds, somewhat diminish the overall appeal of the work.

The dialogues tend towards clichéd expressions, requiring the narrative’s suspense to escalate in the absence of background music. An instance of mismatched lip synchronization is observed in the opening scene featuring Natasha. The dubbing also displays errors, such as when Altaf says, “What is it?” in the second episode, and then, in the third episode, he says, “What happened?”.

While it remains uncertain how deeply ‘Sade Sholo’ will resonate with the audience, director Yashir Al Haq strives to present a contemporary narrative despite some limitations and imperfections. Reflecting upon tragic events like the ‘Rana Plaza’ disaster, the Cezanne Group factory fire victims, and those who have perished due to corporate negligence, ‘Sade Sholo’ achieves a noteworthy impact on our thoughts, marking a significant achievement.

From King Kong to Godzilla: A Journey Through Monster Movie History

In the past, people lacked the advanced technology needed to create movies. To bring animals on screen, they had to dress them up. Despite this, many creators had a passion for crafting a world of monsters. However, a significant shift occurred in 2005 with the success of the King Kong movie.

A new era in cinema began with the 2014 Godzilla film, introduced gigantic creatures to the screen. Following this success, a sequel to the Monsterverse was announced.

Movies from the Monsterverse that you should check out include:

1. “Kong: Skull Island” (2017)
2. “Godzilla” (2014)
3. “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (2019)
4. “Godzilla vs. Kong” (2021)

In the 2014 Godzilla film, the creature depicted was incredibly massive, breaking all previous records. Inspiration for the various monster-like creatures in “Kong: Skull Island” was drawn from the 1997 Japanese animated movie “Princess Mononoke.” Interestingly, an additional monster, the horned tiger known as the Icarus Tiger, was originally planned for “Kong: Skull Island.”

Initially, “Kong: Skull Island” (2017) was set to take place in 1917, but director Jordan Watt-Roberts wasn’t satisfied with the script. He suggested shifting the timeline to after the US-Vietnam War, resulting in a more compelling story. The movie’s inspiration was drawn from the 1979 film “Apocalypse Now.”

In 1962, there was the first crossover between Godzilla and King Kong. Meanwhile, King Kong’s comic publishers began asserting their rights. This led to a lawsuit in 1975 between Universal Pictures, Dino De Laurentiis Pictures studio, and Marian Cooper. The court eventually declared King Kong a character in the public domain.

The 2014 version of Godzilla adhered to the traditional Japanese portrayal of the creature. The director studied the faces of dogs, bears, and eagles to accurately depict Godzilla’s appearance. He aimed to strike a balance between not making Godzilla too frightening or too appealing.

For the first time, the director added gills to Godzilla’s design, enabling the creature to absorb dissolved oxygen from the water and navigate underwater. The 2014 Godzilla was the largest rendition of the character at the time, standing at 355 feet tall with a tail spanning 550 feet.

Why is ‘Odds Against Tomorrow’ famous as revolutionary movie in world of Hollywood?

There was no way that evil could be shown victorious in the movies. The hero must always win. Then, it was not allowed to show relationships between different castes. There was no policy to show white slavery. But in the case of black color, there is no problem if the slave is shown. Because the society saw them as slaves. So there was no attempt to break that taboo. Nor did the production companies.

If the audience gets angry, then what happens to the business – from there. Because of the Hays Code, black actors were mainly cast in small, unimportant and obnoxious roles in American cinema at the time. Around the middle or late fifties, a revolutionary spirit emerged to break this rule.

These aspects of cinema changed with changes in American society. There is only the issue of casting black characters as the main characters. An example can be the movie Odds Against Tomorrow. All the three main characters of the movie bring out the marginalization of the society.

But among the three characters, the funniest character is the racist Slater. He carries a strange contrast of gruffness and politeness. Also Robert Ryan’s perfect performance makes the character more enjoyable and memorable. Not just Robert Ryan, but Henry Belafonte, Ed Begley, Shelley Winters, Gloria Grahame – everyone’s performances complement the characters and make the movie fresh.

On-location shooting, witty and stylistic dialogues, innovative camera angles that are inspired by German Expressionism in nature, an abundance of scenes shot in hotel rooms, bars, crime stories and masculinity-heavy characters, all the elements of film noir are perfect. This movie has been executed. It is known as a revolutionary movie in the world of Hollywood.
