    MARWAR INDIA I MARCH-APRIL 2018 20 PROFILE 21 WITCHING OVER FROM THE BUSINESS OF MAKING rakhis (an ornamental thread that serves as an amulet which sisters ritualistically tie around the wrists of their brothers on Raksha Bandhan) to something as glamorous as producing films may seem hard to conceive, but for Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni it happened as if by divine intervention. Not only did the cousins’ foray into filmdom happen against all odds, but success greeted them from the get-go. The growth has continued SHOOTING unabated for over two decades since and today their company, SVF Entertainment, is the largest film production and distribution TO FAME house in Eastern India. College kids to film distributors The Mohtas originally belong to Bikaner in Rajasthan, but have been living in Kolkata for the last three generations, where they own one of the country’s biggest rakhi manufacturing companies. Rather than pick up the baton, as is the usual practice among Marwaris, Shrikant Mohta and cousin Mahendra Soni decided to turn their efforts in another direction, which led to the foundation of Shree Venkatesh Films (now renamed SVF Entertainment), which has grown phenomenally over the years, earning the sobriquet ‘Yashraj Films of the East’. So how did it all begin? “We started way back in 1995,” says Shrikant Mohta, who is 43 now and the creative muscle of SVF Entertainment. “We were two young energetic boys still in college pursuing a bachelor’s degree in commerce when we thought we can become dream merchants, but with no idea on how to sell dreams, as till then we were only involved in our family For Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni, there is no business like Many of SVF's films went on show business.

  • Is It Back to the Future for Bengali Cinema?
    OCCASIONAL PUBLICATION 61 Is it Back to the Future for Bengali Cinema? by Ratnottama Sengupta INDIA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE 40, MAX MUELLER MARG, NEW DELHI-110 003 TEL. : 24619431 FAX: 24627751 Is it Back to the Future for Bengali Cinema?* These are interesting times for Bengali cinema. In June 2014 itself, at least four films worth-watching hit the Kolkata screens: Anjan Dutt’s Shesh Boley Kichhu Nei (There’s No Such Thing as ‘The End’), Sandip Ray’s Char (Four), Shiboprasad Mukherjee and Nandita Ray’s Ramdhanu (Rainbow), and Birsa Dasgupta’s Galpo Holeo Sattyi (True Fiction). That’s not all. In the first quarter of 2014, Jodi Love Dilena Praney (If There’s No Love), Chander Pahar (Moon Mountain), Mishawr Rahasya (The Egyptian Mystery), and Jatiswar (Reincarnation) were simultaneously showing in theatres. One was in its eighth week; another proved the biggest grosser ever in Bengal; the third was right behind it; the fourth was crowned with national awards for its layered treatment of a subject that was so far in the realm of ‘jatra-theatre- popular cinema’. There’s more to celebrate. In 2013, 110 films were censored in Kolkata. Surely that’s indicative of commercial faith in Bengali cinema? People invest only when they see some prospect of return.
