In the past I have generally focused on one movie at a time. In the year under review I not only had to work on two movies at the same time but also oversee several other productions, not to mention the running of Whistling Woods International. During the year we have had a much higher level of activity with six movies on the floor and several more in pre-production. This has been a result of the enhanced bandwidth created, systems put in place, and additional trained management skills brought in. In fact the Company's focus on talent has increased and our investment in Whistling Woods International, which is expected to be a fountainhead of talent for the Company, is likely to start yielding results soon. The first batch of students has already entered the industry. Last year when we had declared a turnover exceeding Rs.1 Billion and a healthy bottom line, many cynics had pointed out that this was possible primarily owing to the one-off block deal with a TV channel for Satellite re-issue rights of a part of the Company's library. I had then explained that this was not the case and the Company's consistent policy of amortizing 100% of investment in a film in the year of release is capable of consistently providing profit year after year and this has been proved right in the current year when there have been no significant library sales. The Company has been able to show Profit Before Tax, exceeding Rs.140 millions and a turnover of over Rs.1.13 Billion. The healthy profits persuaded the Board to declare an interim dividend of 40% reflecting the Board's and Management's confidence in the continued strength of the Company. In the year under review the Company released four movies "Good Boy Bad Boy" directed by Ashwini Chaudhary starring Tushaar Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi, Isha Shravani, Tanushree Dutta and others "Bombay to Bangkok" directed by Nagesh Kuknoor, starring Shreyas Talpade and others, "Black & White" directed by me starring Anurag Sinha, Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah and others and the Company's first Marathi movie "Valu- The Wild Bull" directed by Umesh Kulkarni starring Atul Kulkarni, Dr. Mohan Agashe, Bharti Achrekar, Girish Kulkarni and others. "Black & White" received rave reviews and was highly appreciated by critics and viewers. It also threw up decent profits for the Company and is an asset for the library. "Valu- the Wild Bull" turned out to be a Blockbuster and celebrated a 25 week run in the theatres. The Movie was also invited to several film festivals including the Rotterdam Film Festival, Warsaw Film Festival, Pune International Film Festival (PIFF), Indian Film Festival in Germany etc. This has inspired the Company to venture into more Marathi movies and we already have two more Marathi movies including the recently released "Sana! Choughade" directed by Rajeev Patil starring Shreyas Talpade, Tushar Dalvi, Shipa Tulaskar, Subhodh Bhave, Bharti Achrekar and also have financed "Prarambh" directed by Vasant Purohit starring Suhas Joshi, Dr. Vilas Ujawane and others. Additionally in the pipeline and due to be released during the Financial Year 2008-09 are Hindi movies "Yuvraaj" directed by me starring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and others which should be releasing later this year. "Right Yaaa Wrong" directed by Neeraj Pathak, starring Sunny Deol, Irfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Isha Koppikar and others, also scheduled for release during the Financial Year 2008-09. "Hello Darling" directed by Manoj Tiwari starring Javed Jaffrey, Celina Jaitley, Gul Panag, Isha Koppikar, Chunky Pandey and "Paying Guest" directed by Paristosh Painter starring Shreyas Talpade, Ashish Choudhary, Vatsal Seth, Javed Jaffrey, Celina Jaitley, Riya Sen, Neha Dhupia, Sayali Bhagat. During the year the Company expanded its exhibition business and took on additional theatres for programming including PVR theatres in Mumbai. Whistling Woods International has grown in strength and it is already accepted as a reputed International Film School and has become a must visit for media professionals from around the world. Among the key events of Whistling Woods International institute during the year were the visit of the Mayor of London Mr. Ken Livingston along with Amitabh Bachchan when an Agreement between Film London and Film & Television Producers Guild was signed at the Whistling Woods International campus. A visit by the Brookings Institute led by former US Deputy Secretary of State, Mr. Strobe Talbott and Ms. Brooke Shearer who had an interactive session with leading panelists including Ms. Shabana Azmi, Dr. Jabbar Patel, Ms. Anupama Chopra among others. The Brookings delegates included Chairmen and CEO's of many leading American companies. www.reportjunction.com SANSCO SERVICES - Annual Reports Library Services - www.sansco.net Whistling Woods International also participated in and assisted in the French Film Festival - Rendezvous in Mumbai coinciding with the visit of the French President to India.

  • Demure Heroines Expressing Sexual Desire. Hints of Traditional Motifs in Popular Hindi Cinema
    Demure Heroines Expressing Sexual Desire. Hints of traditional motifs in popular Hindi cinema Sabrina Ciolfi Università degli Studi di Milano Abstract. In some of the most successful and representative popular Hindi films released between the 1990s and the early 2000s, the depiction of amorous feelings often takes traditional forms. The reference here is essentially to those films that come more or less within the broad category of classical family dramas: love stories that come up against all sorts of opposition, characterised by the celebration of the traditional Hindu values and the sacrality of the Indian joint-family institution. A particularly interesting aspect emerging here lies in the way in which the sexual desire of the heroine—typically a chaste and virtuous maiden—finds representation. On the strength of studied re-elaboration of traditional themes and motifs, these films achieve high levels of stylistic inventiveness and poetic refinement, albeit often limited to certain individual sequences. The apparent purpose of this aesthetic sophistication is to endow amorous feelings—always leading inexorably in the direction of marriage—with an aura of purity and authenticity. Indeed, it is a matter of sentiments so noble and intense as to win over the consent and blessing of the families by the end of the film. The paper proposes to identify and analyse the conscious use of these traditional motifs in some of the most representative films in this area. This paper aims to analyse a selection of scenes of popular Hindi films1 in which the depiction of amorous feelings seems to draw on some traditional themes and motifs of Indian classical literature.2 The reference here is essentially to those particularly successful family-centred films, the most prevalent genre which emerged in the mid- 1990s, coming more or less within the broad category of classical ‘family dramas’.3 1 An important point to make here is that we are not referring to Indian cinema in general.
