  • The Future Looks Bright for Filmmakers
    The future looks bright for filmmakers By : INVC Team Published On : 16 Mar, 2019 03:45 PM IST INVC NEWS New Delhi , Directors such as Amar Kaushik, Sriram Raghavan, Rahi Anil Barve and Amit Sharma became household names with their 2018 hits Stree, AndhaDhun, Tumbbad and Badhaai Ho respectively. Changing the definition of blockbuster movies, the audience is now willingly venturing into films that are creatively appealing and comes with an honest and original storytelling Big Star cast movies in the likes of thugs of Hindoostan, Zero, 102 Not Out featuring the crème de la crème of the tinseltown saw itself come and go like passing clouds. The unimpactful movies stand testament to the age old fact - Content is King. For the longest time, there was a perception that the success of any film is majorly driven by big-budgets and superstar actors. However, a small section of filmmakers are debunking the concept with going astray n the treatment of films. This year’s nominations are peppered with such releases that had offbeat plots, new faces, and most importantly, small budgets. When it comes to small budget movies, filmmakers usually experiment with their plots, leading to content-driven movies such as Amar Kaushik's Stree, Amit Sharma's Badhaai Ho, and Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun. Most of these films were made on a budget of less than INR 40 crore, but yielded thrice the amount in the box office. There is another silver lining to small-budget movies - they fish out some of the brightest talents in the film industry like Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, among others Movies such as Andhadhun which was touted as the best Bollywood movie had a budget of INR 30 crore and Badhaai Ho was made on a budget of INR 29 crore.
