Q4FY19: a Phenomenal Show! SECTOR UPDATE - MEDIA Q 4FY19: A Phenomenal Show! India Equity Research | Media Box office collections hit all-time highs in Q4FY19 with five, ‘non-Khan’, Bollywood movies crossing the coveted INR1bn mark - Uri (~INR2.4bn collection), Total Dhamaal (~INR1.55bn), Simmba (~INR1.4bn), Gully Boy (~INR1.4bn) and Kesari (~INR1.25bn). On the flip side, the quarter saw a face-off between producers and exhibitors over the virtual print fee (VPF), which threatens to be an overhang. Exhibitors are now focusing on innovations to differentiate themselves, which we believe will help them attract higher footfalls. However, we expect footfalls to be weak in Q1FY20 considering IPL, World Cup and general elections. We will watch out for: (1) VPF issue; (2) impact of Ind AS 116; (3) contagion risk of local body tax (LBT); and (4) OTTs’ aggression. Maintain ‘BUY’ on PVR. Multiplexes and producers battling on VPF payments \ Last month, Mr. Ronnie Screwvala had reportedly filed a complaint with CCI against top multiplex chains, over the virtual print fee (VPF) payments. VPF is typically charged ‘per- property’ by multiplexes on a ‘per-title (per movie) basis’, from the producers. Though, VPF income is a small portion of the overall revenue for multiplexes – less than 1% of PVR’s FY19E revenue in PVR’s case, the critical part is that the absence of VPF income will have a direct impact, though marginal, on EBITDA of the multiplexes. For PVR, VPF in FY18 was ~INR172mn, roughly ~4% of EBITDA. However, for INOX Leisure (INOX), VPF stood ~12% of the EBITDA. In case, CCI rules in favour of producers, we can expect a marginal hit on the multiplexes’ revenue and EBITDA respectively. However, the value at risk from VPF to the EBITDA is higher for INOX than PVR. Technology to become critical in driving footfall Recently, PVR and INOX signed deals to import ‘ScreenX’ technology to India, which allows a 270-degree movie viewing experience. Additionally, PVR will also be introducing India’s first D-Box motion seats to improve 4DX experience. We believe that such screens will largely be opened in metro cities where appetite for luxury format theatres has been higher and expect both multiplexes to continue to focus on premium offerings. We believe such measures will be conducive towards keeping multiplexes relevant in the value chain and mitigate risk from OTTs. Outlook: PVR to end FY19 on a high note; Q1FY20 to be leaner We estimate PVR’s revenue, EBITDA and PAT to grow ~42%, ~70% and ~85% YoY, respectively, in Q4FY19 (incl. SPI Cinemas), driven by robust box collections, footfall growth and uptick in F&B revenues. We expect ~22% footfall growth for PVR with ATP Abneesh Roy ~INR203, growing the net box office collections ~25% YoY (excl. SPI Cinemas). We +91 22 6620 3141 anticipate the SPH to inch up ~2% YoY to INR89, increasing the F&B revenue (excl. SPI [email protected] Cinemas) by ~28%. We expect Q1FY20 to be leaner for multiplexes, as producers Prateek Barsagade would prefer to release their movies once attention shifts from the cricketing season +91 22 4063 5407 (IPL and World Cup) and general elections. Though we maintain ‘BUY’ on PVR, we will [email protected] keep tabs on – 1) VPF issue; 2) impact of Ind AS 116; 3) contagion risk of LBT and 4) OTTs’ aggression (refer our note: OTTs to disrupt multiplex’s party?).

This has successively made the window of outlook wider and the border more porous, at least figuratively. It is the changes brought about by these transnational elements, mostly, cinema, and particularly those made during the last two decades that formed the core subject of this study.

  • Bromance in Bollywood: Is It Dismantling Homohysteria and Homophobia?
    Global Media Journal-Indian Edition; Volume 12 Issue1; June 2020. ISSN:2249-5835 Bromance in Bollywood: Is it dismantling homohysteria and homophobia? Mausumi Bhattacharyya, Ph.D. Associate Professor Centre for Journalism & Mass Communication Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan - 731235, India & Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) Post-Doctoral Fellow (June 2017- May 2019) at Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi Abstract Traditionally Hindi films produced by Bollywood are not known to have taken an empathetic view of the plight of India’s queer community. Projecting them as subjects of mockery, as aberrations and villainous have been the predominated approach of filmmakers. Given the power of the medium, such thoughts have percolated and influenced outlook of majority towards the gender minority. Yet there have been the odd films which contrast this oft adopted approach of Bollywood filmmakers. Though gender scholars have engaged in homoerotic reading of such films and unearthed underlying homosexual subtexts, feasibility of a different discourse about such films stands strong. By analysing films like Silsila, Dosti, Sholay, Dil Chahta Hai, Zindegi Na Milegi Dobara and Rang De Basanti this article relooks at tenability of homoerotic subtexts of these films. Specifically employing the theoretical framework of bromance, a form of homosocial bonding between individuals of the same sex, this article counters the conclusion of scholars about blurring of homosociality and homoeroticism in respect to characters portrayed in the selected films. This article argues that bromance films, made during the 20th century and thus far in 21st century, attempts to dismantle homohysteria and homophobia. Intentions of such filmmakers were to sensitize viewers about romantic same- sex bonding, not necessarily falling within the purview of sexual attraction or homosexuality.

  • 100 Essential Indian Films, by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Datta
    Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 21, 2021, pp. 239–243 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.21.21 100 Essential Indian Films, by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Datta. Rowman & Littlefield, 2019, 283 pp. Darshana Chakrabarty Among the many film industries of South Asia, the Indian film industry is the most prolific, specifically Hindi language film, more commonly known as Bollywood, which produces almost four hundred films annually. Bollywood films dominate the national market. These films have also been exported successfully to parts of the Middle East, Africa, and the Asiatic regions of the former Soviet Union, as well as to Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US. The success of these films abroad is largely down to the presence of Indian communities living in these regions; as the conventional melodramatic plot structures, dance numbers and musicals tend to deter Western audiences. Within India and abroad “the traditional division between India’s popular cinema and its ‘art’ or ‘parallel’ cinema, modelled after India's most prestigious film-director Satyajit Ray, often produced the uncritical assumption that Indian films are either ‘Ray or rubbish’” (Chaudhuri 137). Recently, Indian film criticism has begun focusing on popular Indian cinema, assessing the multi-discursive elements of the cinematic creations. Bollywood “gained prominence within academia due to its growing popularity and unique manner of glorifying Indian familial values” (Sinha 3). From a history and origin of Indian motion pictures to selecting films that best represent the diversity, integrity and heritage of the nation, 100 Essential Indian Films by Rohit K. Dasgupta and Sangeeta Dutta is a concise book on Indian cinema for connoisseurs and for film enthusiasts taking an interest in India’s classic and contemporary cinema.

While followers may be cleaved into the for-Saif, against-Saif camps, there are the skeptics who believe this may be a publicity stunt for Saif's forthcoming movie, Agent Vinod. While this may sound incredulous, it shows the trust deficit created by the huge hype and the publicity-ke-liye-kuch-bhi-karega tendency these days.

  • TRACING the TEMPORAL ASSEMBLAGE of INDIAN MEDIA a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School O
    THE AFFECTIVE NATION: TRACING THE TEMPORAL ASSEMBLAGE OF INDIAN MEDIA A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Lakshmi Padmanabhan, Bachelor of Arts Washington, DC April 28, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Lakshmi Padmanabhan All Rights Reserved ii THE AFFECTIVE NATION: TRACING THE TEMPORAL ASSEMBLAGE OF INDIAN MEDIA Lakshmi Padmanabhan, Bachelor of Arts Thesis Advisor: Jatinder P. Singh, Doctor of Philosophy. ABSTRACT This thesis examines two films – Slumdog Millionaire (Boyle, 2008) and Dostana (Mansukhani, 2008) to explore the circulation of national identities within these films and the circulation of the films themselves within larger discourses of the nation, particularly India. This thesis argues that our current cultural moment require changing understandings of the idea of ‘film’, to include its multiple networks of capital and affect, and a changing understanding of ‘nation’ as materially illustrated in these films. The aim of this thesis is to conceive of a way to understand films as a collection of temporalities, and to map the duration of these temporalities as they reveal the emerging networks of circulation that change the ontology of both film and nation. I also argue that the ‘nation’ is an affective construct, and that ‘nationness’ is the ‘trace’ or ‘residue’ that these films bear. This argument also marks a specific approach to the idea of a ‘nation’ itself that includes more than the boundaries of the state, or the ethnicity of the people, but begins to address the way objects possess certain national traces, particularly within cultural objects such as the arts.

  • The 40Th Annual Conference on South Asia (2011)
    2011 40th Annual Conference on South Asia Paper Abstracts Center for South Asia University of Wisconsin - Madison Aaftaab, Naheed Claiming Middle Class: Globalization, IT, and exclusionary practices in Hyderabad In this paper, I propose that middle class identity in the IT sector can be read as part of an “identity politics” that claim certain rights and benefits from governmental bodies both at the national and international levels. India’s economic growth since the 1991 liberalization has been attended by the growth of the middle classes through an increase in employment opportunities, such as those in the IT sector. The claims to middle class status are couched in narratives of professional affiliations that shape culturally significant components of middle class identities. The narratives rely on the ability of IT professionals to reconcile the political identities of nationalism while simultaneously belonging to a global work force. IT workers and the industry at large are symbols of India’s entry into the global scene, which, in turn, further reinforces the patriotic and nationalist rhetoric of “Indianness.” This global/national identity, however, exists through exclusionary practices that are evident in the IT sector despite the management’s assertions that the industry’s success is dependent on “merit based” employment practices. Using ethnographic data, I will examine middle class cultural and political claims as well as exclusionary practices in professional settings of the IT industry in order to explore the construction of new forms of identity politics in India. 40th Annual Conference on South Asia, 2011 1 Acharya, Anirban Right To (Sell In) The City: Neoliberalism and the Hawkers of Calcutta This paper explores the struggles of urban street vendors in India especially during the post liberalization era.
