Sushant Singh Rajput: A look at his contribution to Indian Entertainment World.
It’s been 3 days and people from everywhere are not able to get over the shock of Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death. There have been speculations on him dying by suicide. Without getting into any negativity or positivity behind the Sudden demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, we must leave him at peace where ever he is and appreciate his contribution to the Indian Entertainment World and look at the contribution he made to Bollywood Films scenario.
His body of work shows that he was destined to reach the unimaginable success on the big screen. From television to the silver screen, his entry in the industry proved him a star. Sushant entered the showbiz through Ekta Kapoor’s TV show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil. He played the role of Preet Singh Juneja, stepbrother of protagonist Prem Juneja who died in just a few episodes. Though the actor had a small part, he made his appearance noticeable. Ekta Kapoor pushed his name as a lead in her next show Pavitra Rishta. After the previous show, he had not to wait and immediately got the break in Pavitra Rishta. The series received highest TRP during the time. In Pavitra Rishta, Sushant won hearts as Manav and viewers loved his on-screen chemistry with Ankita Lokhande, who played Archana on the show.
The boy with an impish smile got his first debut in films with ‘Kai Po Che’ and despite his immense popularity as a television actor here was he who seemed to want to fade into the background and not draw attention to himself. But fans loved him in this multi starter movie that could fetch 920 millions and became the sleeper hit of the year.
Next came his film Shuddh Desi Romance – a film raising questions on finding oneself in a crazy love-ship. The film rise Sushant as an individual star in this film and this was the time when he gained fans – for his performance and for his charming smile. Film did well in box office.
In his third film, he had to play a small yet a powerful part. Although PK was a movie made by Raju Hirani and Aamir Khan, his small part portrayed so brilliantly should not be forgotten. This particular film did generate a huge number, although not because of him, but it brought business of 854 crores.
Critically acclaimed film Detective Byomkesh Bakshi brought an other side of the actor – a more matured face of him. This suspense inspired film proved that the actor signed film to prove himself as an actor and not for a big role.
Then came the film that changes his life as an actor. Sushant was always a great choice to play M.S. Dhoni. Like the celebrated Indian cricketer, the actor hailed from a small town. Like his onscreen hero, Rajput entered an ecosystem where connections and labels matter. People actually started believing him the real MS Dhoni after the film. The film became the first of his films to enter into 200 crore club. The film could gain the industry 216 crores.
He grew as an actor in films like Raabta and Kedarnath but what actually left the fans in surprise was his role in Sonchiriya where he played a bandit. Rajput played Lakhna, a bandit in search of solace. The film was much appreciated by critics but couldn’t do commercially well.
His last film Chhichhore in 2019 was the second of his films that became a part of 200 crore club. Sushant Singh Rajput, played the immensely lovable Anni, shone in his role as the gawky, unsure college student who grows up to be a doting father to a troubled teenage son. All the inspiring dialogues from this film which he said to his onscreen son to explain how a suicide is not an option will be remembered. but alas! He could not relate to his own life journey with the character he played so brilliantly. Yet the fans will remember him as Anni forever.
Remembering his contribution to our film industry, we wish he is at a better place and is at peace . The world will miss you Sushant Singh Rajput!

Vivek Oberoi to cast new talent in his second production horror flick. It seems like the whole Corona crisis and the toughest period of decades are bringing in some notable changes in the world of Bollywood. This year 2020 took many of our talented Bollywood actors away, but young actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide brought a wave of shock. It encouraged people from film industry to come forward and talk about nepotism, favouritism and inequality in the industry. On the other hand, Also, the time forced our big banner movies to release their films directly on OTT platforms, which compared to small budget films, faced a huge loss. Hence, the producers and makers have been brought to a point of making films with entirely different concepts for the coming time to suit their budget. Both the movements are bringing whole of the industry to take some thoughtful decisions. Actor Vivek Oberoi and Mandiraa Ent. Have taken a step to announce their next film that will cast the actors being 100% unbiased.
Yes, recently, actor @vivekoberoi announced on Twitter about his second production venture under the banner Oberoi Mega Entertainment, Rosie: The Saffron Chapter, in association with Mandiraa Entertainment. The film, a horror-thriller, will be directed by @vishalmishraofficial . It will be based on true events from Gurugram. Just a few days back the actor announced his production house’ first film Iti to be produced by Mandiraa Entertainment.
Announcing the film Rosie, Oberoi also wrote on Twitter, “God has been kind! We bring you our 2nd film, #Rosie, a horror-thriller franchise based on strange true events in Gurugram. Produced by @mandiraa_ent & my home prodn Oberoi Mega Ent, @RosieIsComing will be directed by @mishravishal.” in another post, the actor tweeted, “Always tried to support talent so launching something close to my heart! With a talent hunt for #Rosie,me & @mandiraa_ent promise to cast new talent unbiasedly to play a prominent role, alongside lead actors. Our small effort to make a big difference. Details on @RosieIsComing,”
We really look forward to Vivek Oberoi and Mandiraa Ent being the pioneers of launching fresh talents totally without any biased opinions. We hope the Godfather trend disappears in the rising new decade of cinema.

Some Songs Remain Alive Forever For Their Music And Some For Their Dance Moves, Saroj Khan Gave Us The Entire Library Of The Latter
‘Choli Ke Piche Kya Hai’… Gets our body moving with the lyrics as it plays anytime anywhere. Yes? The song would have probably been melodious and a hit track if would be only an audio, but as Madhuri Dixit danced on it, it gave the song a forever kind of a life. Truly, some songs remain alive forever for their music and some for their dance moves. All our favourite superstar actresses dancing on the screen may get us fall in love with them, but the steps they perform, come after a back-aching and blood wrenching tiring rehearsals which are observed by Bollywood’s ace choreographers. Much we praise the dance moves of the stars, less we acknowledge the excellence of the choreographers. We lost one of such an excellent choreographers, Saroj Khan today, let us have a look at these pictures back from the time.
Her career spanned four decades and she worked with majorly all the superstars and gave them dance lessons. Including Madhuri Dixit, SriDevi and Some songs remain alive forever for their music and some for their dance moves, Saroj Khan gave us the entire library of the latterto Kareena Kapoor Khan she worked with almost everyone. She was widely known as the Mother of choreography in Bollywood. Three time National Award winner, the choreographer gave us songs that are still imprinted in our heads and our hearts. Grace, magic and facial expressions- are three assets she used in dancing which we never will forget.
Madhuri Dixit’s ‘ek do teen’ , Sridevi’s ‘Hawa Hawai’ and Aishwarya Rai’s ‘Nimbooda’ are our personal favourite of her work she left us with. Apart from this, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s ‘Ye Ishq Hai’, Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Ghani Bawri Ho Gayi’, Alia Bhatt’s ‘ Ghar More Pardesiya’, Kajol and Shah Rukh’s ‘ruk ja o dil deewane‘, Shilpa Shetty’s ‘chura ke dil mera’, Urmila Mantodkar’s ‘tanha tanha yaha pe jeena’ and Manisha Koirala’s ‘badi mushkil baba badi mushkil‘ , Karisma Kapoor’s ‘Pucho Zara Pucho‘ are some of the bests we remember with all the superstars of our industry.
As Kareena Kapoor Khan rightly points down her learnings from Saroj Khan, “Pair nahi chala sakte, toh kam se kam Face chalao” . That’s so exactly like her! That’s what she explained almost everyone, to dance through face, to smile through eyes and to hypnotise with expressions!

How do The Audience Prefer to Watch a Film ? – OTT vs Cinema Theatres
The debate regarding the direct-to-digital release has witnessed a massive rift in the Hindi film industry.
The debate on whether the cinema halls will lose its charm or who will win the war? OTT v/s Cinema Theatres.
What is the opinion of the audience in general? how would they prefer to watch a film?
Whether like always, first day first show in the theatres or first day first show in the comforts of one’s home?
With cinemas shutting down due to the Covid-19 the demand for OTT platform has risen with more and more producers opting to release their films on digital platform that has more viewership then ever before. They are looking at skipping the traditional routes hence the debate is over direct-to-digital releases.
Last week the much awaited film ‘ Gulabo Sitabo’ by one of the prominent directors, Shoojit Sircar, Starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushman Khurana and Shakuntala Devi by Anu Menor were released on the Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon went on to acquire titles of regional films like Jyotika starrer Ponmangal Vandhar along with Four other digital premiers. The OTT platform which is already popular for many years is speculating several other film releases, including that of Akshay Kumar’ s Laxmmi Bomb, Karan Johar’s Gunjan Saxena- The Kargil Girl which are in the advance stages of discussion with the digital deals.
The new trend setter of releasing films on OTT has drawn criticism from the theatre owners And film exhibitors across India. While multiplex like INOX chain have spoken of retributive measures in their Statement, PVR has urged producers to hold on to their film releases until theatres are opened after the Corona outbreak is cleared.
Earlier the Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association had expressed their disappointment over their huge investments in infrastructure where in CEO Mohan Umrotkar, of Carnival cinemas had created employment for 2 lakh people over 450 operational screens across India. In addition to this, revenue the film exhibition sector also creates employment for over 2 lakh people. If the trend of releasing films on OTT platforms continues, there will be a cause of concern according to Mohan.
The Indian Box Office has generally generated a yearly revenue of Rs.10 to 15,000 crores. With the theatres remaining shut indefinitely, lot of business is lost and the situation gets no help from any Potential earners.
With ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ and ‘Shakuntala Devi’ going live on OTT there is an additional loss of Rs. 100 to 125 Crores. However, CEO Mohan believes that this situation is temporary in an extra ordinary circumstances due to unforeseen pandemic that has taken its toll on the film industry as well as the cinemas. He is confident that once the lockdown is lifted and the normalcy is restored, the industry will be back again with them.
Bollywood has predominantly maintained the eight-week window between the theatrical and the digital Releases and if a film is sold to the OTT one can do nothing about it to stop it in the given situation, says Manoj Desai, executive director of G7 Multiplex, and Maratha Mandir Cinema in Mumbai.
At present we are not sure when the cinemas will open and what measures will be taken. In the given Circumstances, the theatre owners can only wait for the crises to subside to start thinking ahead with their new plans.
While acknowledging the plight of producers, Manoj Desai says there can be no comparison with the theatrical experience which is irreplaceable. The films being telecasted on OTT were actually made for theatrical view like Sooryavanshi which won’t go for the digital release and will wait for the cinemas to Resume.
Last month the Hindi films Bamfaad and Ateet were released on ZEE5 and the the platform premiered, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s long delayed comedy , Ghoomketu on May 22nd, 2020.
Since its inception, the goal is to entertain the audience says Aparna Acharekar, the programming Head of ‘ Be Calm Be Entertained’ Initiative. In addition, they also acquired the rights towards the Blockbuster films across languages and diverse topics. The contents are however free and on premium.
The digital release of feature films is not a new concept. It always existed when the OTT platforms came to light. According to the 2020 FICCI-EY report around 50 low budget films were released directly on the OTT platforms across India in 2019 alone. Streaming subscriptions the advent of the OTT began as it saw small films were less saleable names while OTT also guaranteed a wider audience for these small filmmakers. It also meant they could save on the prints and advertising costs. As a theatrical release is quite expensive affair with the major content acquisition lies with the film distribution company.
While the trend has helped the cinema to survive, it has also created implications for the larger Businesses such as producing a film or for the theatre owners and affecting big businesses.
With people banned from going to cinemas and cinemas all shut across most parts of India, the reopening of the theatres is indefinite. Though Mohan Desai is expecting the cinema business to resume this July with a partial sitting capacity in the theatres, after sanitization, wearing protective masks, it is not clear if the audience would like to take a risk or the cinema goers are now used to being cooped up at home and watch a film on the OTT in the comforts of their home for health and safety reasons. That too if the number of positive cases is reduced across the country.
Film shootings have also been indefinitely postponed globally hence the OTT-Theatrical rift is felt Across the supply chain. There are no film promotions like it was earlier, no lavish affairs which have now been reduced to webinars and telephonic interviews, online video conferencing, marketers are forced to take a turn towards benefiting the digital media firms who are operating through the crisis.
Digital Media consumption has increased and people are glued to their devices says Gautam Be Thakker The chief employee of Every media Technologies.
A digital release is a different ball game altogether, the digital distribution to the well established OTT platforms has several advantages like content exclusivity, no pre-existing theatrical relationship.
Every film release has had a unique strategy to stand out on the film streaming on various platforms.
Yet there is a segment, a huge one that still continues to say that they love going to the theatres and that Is something they are looking forward to and hope it will never change.
The truth is that we all enjoy going to the theatres which is something that will never change.”
The ongoing Covid-19 lockdown has created its impact in almost all sectors and all businesses across the World. however, it is believed that the most hit industry is the film industry and television industry. As several producers of films have decided to release their films on OTT Platforms as they are not Expecting the theatres to open anytime soon. Hence the OTT vs theatres debate continues to the Unforeseen future.
The PVR cinemas a few days back made a grand announcement that through a video and their messaging, that their theatres are all gearing up for the movie lovers with all the safety measures to invite their clients, the movie lovers with the equipment’s and proper social distancing, sanitizing etc. However the government hasn’t granted permission for the movie theatres to open therefor no movie releases are expected in the near future in the theatres.
A few months before the corona lockdown, Mukesh Ambani the owner of Jio mobiles had promised that the using the device the audience and viewers would be able to watch the cinema first day first show in the comfort zone of their own home. During that time nobody had even thought that it would soon come to effect. It’s like God’s Verdict. How did Mukesh Ambani dream of this and Jio benefit out of this new project they had in mind to adopt this during the pandemic spread in the country.
The new technology is here to stay for a very very long time and has its own charm that is totally a new experience for the movie lovers. The filmmakers are always in a dilemma whether to release the film on OTT or wait for its release in the theatres.
It is no surprise that the film industry has been affected the most and have sunk into huge debuts during this period. Hence producers and filmmakers are thinking twice and taking quick decisions to release films on various OTT platforms like the recent Angrezi Medium, Gulabo Sitabo and many that followed soon after. Including Alia Bhatt’s Sadak2, Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara, and many others while the audience are lapping it all up and eager to watch it on the OTT channel. Senior actors like Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar have also decided that they are not going to stay behind and have announced their films on the Hot star, another OTT platform a few days ago.
Our nation, a 135 to 140 plus crore population not everybody can afford to watch films in cinemas even Before the lockdown. Also one noticed the films theatres did not run a film for many weeks. Sometimes a film hardly ran in the theatres and did badly at the box office collections. So the OTT platform is one of its kind when the films are on the platform for a long time streaming, trending for the audience. it is better than the pirated videos that people were crazy about and would have a parallel cinema illegally, with the distribution of the pirated videos of the films which were sold at a meagre sum of Rs. 100 per cassette.
Technology has advanced considerably since then and brought about the change and this change is expected to stay for a very long time to come.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s shocking death has brought his fans across demanding his last film Dil Bechara to be released in theatres for it’s the last film of their favourite star, however it is said the film is being released on Hot Star under the movement, #sushantonbigscreen. Time will tell whether the audience prefer the big screen or the OTT.
Judging the collections will be by gone days now when 100 to 330 crore fights may no longer exist or stay true. As streaming sites unlike YouTube does not show the number of viewers.
Abhishek Bachchan has expressed his views on the subject by stating that there is less judgement in a web than in a cinema who is also on the verge of making digital debut in the show, ‘Breathe”Into the Shadows’. The actor says there is less pressure and one does not have to worry about the box office Figures. However, people will still judge his performance which in turn will be reverted to film critics and largely his next web film will largely depend on his popularity in this first digital film that is going to be released soon.
