How smart you are with AI?

Artificial intelligence tools are something proliferating in workplaces. They have nearly substituted many tasks that require a lot of manpower and emerge to get completed.

I often meet numerous people who ask me: “You say you are a film distributor. But what is the role a film distributor after all?” Whenever I come across a question like this, I like to first get a hang of what the other person actually thinks, and in most cases, people are clueless.

Another question I come across quite frequently is: “How is a film actually made? How do they take a script, then produce it and then take it to the theatres?” It is a complicated procedure, as you would have guessed.

 

How Are Bollywood Films Taken Into Theatres

Here is how a movie is taken into theatres:

Every year, the Hindi film industry or, Bollywood, as we call it, produces more than 800 feature films, but more than half of this lot never hits the theatre. Reason? Because these films fail to secure a distributor. A distributor is the ‘connection’ who’s responsible to take the produced film from the producers to the theatres. The entire process is called distribution.

The game isn’t as easy as it sounds! Once the film is made, the producer usually looks for a suitable distributor.

There are two ways a distributor works – he either takes a revenue share (taking a certain percentage out of every ticket earnings) or buys the theatrical rights of the film from the producer for a definite amount.

The entire country has been demarked into 9 different territories owing to distribution, called ‘circuits’. Sometimes, the producer has to look for a different distributor for every territory. Aahh, big task!

The next thing is to finalise a release date. Many films go wrong here. You might have heard of the famous SRK-Salman war for an festival release – the release date plays a very important role; festivals and holidays fetch a better audience turnout, obviously.

Keeping the film, its content, and its actors in mind, the producer and distributor decide which screens the film should go to: is the film made for a rural audience? In that case, the target is single screens across rural regions. Is the film made for only posh multiplex audience? Films like Dabanng, Rowdy Rathore, etc. have mastered the art to target single screens and multiplexes simultaneously.

The other part of the distribution is to know which screenplays films in what format. Nowadays, with technology playing a good part, most of the screens are equipped with digital projectors, wherein the films are sent through the hard disk (and they are 500GB each!).

Few screens still operate on the ‘reel’ based analog projectors, for which the reel (also called the ‘print’) needs to be developed. The hard disks and the prints are sent to each centre a day before the release.

The distributor arranges for the maximum and best number of shows for each screen. For example, if a film is releasing in 1000 screens, the distributor has to negotiate the rates and shows with 1000 screen owners. All this happens in the week before the release.

Finally, we the audience, reach the theatres overjoyed on the day of release, to watch the film of our favourite actor. We never realize that to take the films to theatres is as big a task as making the film itself, and although not a creative one, but definitely tiresome.

This one is for all the fucchas of Delhi University. Indeed, there are plenty of reasons for you to admire your University (after all its DU man). From best of campuses to infrastructure to the famous alumna to its never ending romance with Bollywood, it gives you all the reasons to shout out loud that ‘We Belongs To It’.

Talking about Hindi Cinema, may be London and USA are the top shooting locations for Bollywood movies but for the pure desi tadka and perfect depiction of college life, nothing can gleam the screen better than shooting in the arms of India’s no.1 university.

10 Movies Shot in Delhi University

We bring to you some movies which have been shot in Delhi University. Surely this will add a good amount to the list of things you can flaunt proudly about your University.
Take a look !

1) Fukrey

Initially, the movie was supposed to be shot in SRCC. But, the movie smartly captured Miranda House as a co-educational college. Not just this, the soundtrack of Fukrey was launched in ARSD for the first time And that’s what we call true love for DU.

2) Rockstar

An epic movie directed by Imtiaz Ali, depicts the perfect scenario of a Hindu College boy Janardhan and from the epitome of sophistication, a Stephanite- Heer. Rockstar, a romantic musical drama was shot during the summer break of DU. Be it college canteen or the main entrance, one can easily see the glimpse of these colleges in the movie.

3) Band Bajaa Baraat

 

How can one miss the song Tarkeebe from this movie? It has shots of Hansraj College’s boys hostel and its classrooms. Maneesh Sharma, director of the movie, truly did justice to the life of DUites by playing around the campus.

4) Do Dooni Chaar

 

From its annual fest to corridors to classrooms, Kirori Mal College did a fabulous cameo in this movie. No one can forget the fest scene of Rishi Kapoor’s daughter in the movie which was shot in Kirori Mal College.

 👉 Famous Celebrities passed out from Delhi University (DU)

5) Dev D

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the badass of Bollywood who amazingly used the ultimate location of Hansraj College and the campus around it in the movie.

 6) Dil Dosti etc..

Shaping up the true students’ politics in Delhi University, Dil Dosti etc..depicts the perfect urge for power and authority. From presidency of college to simplicity to dedication to friendship, it has all the colors of a student life. The movie was entirely picturized in Hindu College and North Campus.

 7) Akaash Vani

This romantic hosteller-in-love story was shot in St. Stephens. Both the main leads Kartik Tiwari and Nushrat Bharucha leave no stone unturned to gleam the screen with their romance. From hostel to college library, love was shown everywhere.

 8)Special 26

Has anyone noticed the long corridor of CBI Headquarter in this movie? If not, then ladies and gentlemen that long way was actually the famous heritage hall of Miranda House which was transformed as CBI Headquarters. The college has appeared in silver screen in many other Bollywood movies as well.

9) Sahi Bande Galat Dhande

Pravin Dabbas and Udit Khurana, who did their debut as directors in this movie, are famous alumna of Hansraj College. Some of the scenes in the movie were shot there and the campus around it. Also the team organised a special screening in Hansraj College for the movie.

 And one from around the globe……
10) The Reluctant Fundamentalist

This movie was adopted from an unpublished novel ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ and directed by Mira Nair. She perfectly recreated the scenes of Lahore around the Zoology Department of Miranda House.
