    Indian entertainment and media outlook 2010 2 Indian entertainment and media outlook 2010 Message To our clients and friends both in and beyond the entertainment and media industry : Welcome to the 2010 edition of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Indian Entertainment and Media (E&M) Outlook, covering the forecast period of 2010–2014. Our forecasts and analysis for this edition focus on eight major E&M industry segments and one emerging segment. Each segment details out the key trends observed and challenges faced apart from providing the prospects for the segment. In the industry overview section, we have highlighted the key theme observed during 2009 and what we perceive as future trends in the coming years. We have a chapter on the tax and regulatory impact on the various E&M segments and for the very first time we have included a chapter on how technology can be leveraged in the E&M industry. In 2009, the economy severely impacted the world, translating into steep declines in advertisement as well as consumer spending. India though impacted, did manage to show growth with increased consumer spending as well as innovative action on the part of the industry. Against this backdrop, across the world, except certain markets, speed of digital spending increased due to changing consumer behavior as well as technology available to deliver the same. In India, while the spend on digital media is likely to grow, it is unlikely that it will dominate in the forecast period. This is largely due to the relative unavailability as well as unaffordability of the broadband and mobile infrastructure.

  • Disney India's 'Zokkoman' Closing Indian Film Fest of L.A
    Disney India's 'Zokkoman' Closing Indian Film Fest of L.A. hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-indias-zokkoman-closing-indian-171685 Festival runs April 12-17 at the Arclight theaters in Hollywood. by Nyay Bhushan 3/26/2011 3:20pm PDT NEW DELHI -- The world premiere of Walt Disney Pictures India's live action debut Zokkomon will close the 9th annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) on April 17. Written and directed by Satyajit Bhatkal, Zokkomon is described as an "adventure of an ordinary boy who finds the strength to face extraordinary challenges." The film will see a limited theatrical release in the U.S. in April 22, and stars child actor Darsheel Safary along with veteran actors Anupam Kher and Manjiri Phadnis. The festival opens on April 12 with director Nila Madhab Panda's I Am Kalam , the story of a young boy who struggles to get an education over seemingly insurmountable odds. The film is partly inspired by India's former President Abdul J Kalam. IFFLA's lineup includes 13 feature films, 6 documentaries and 13 short films which will be screened at the ArcLight in Hollywood. "We are extremely proud of this year's program. This year's selections were selected not only for their great storytelling, but because each reflects the creativity, color, pace and surprises that truly represent Indian culture and cinema," said IFFLA executive director Christina Marouda. IFFLA will also see U.S. premieres of feature films such as An Unfinished Letter (Iti Mrinalini) from director and star Aparna Sen, Virgin Goat (Laadli Laila) directed by IFFLA alumnus Murali Nair and writer/director Anurag Kashyap's That Girl In Yellow Boots.
