During a chat this evening with our partner Deepak, CEO of Ace2Three India, he shared with us some cultural insights of Indian film productions. Deepak comes from a family that are involved in film production and distribution, so clearly his answers cannot be more valid that anyone else. In India, Bollywood is one of the largest film producers in the world and the largest in terms of films produced. Any 2 hour films in Bollywood can be produced from scratch in less than 4 months, and released with gross revenue at least 5 times its production cost.
Why is it in every Indian film, even till today, they still involve a lot of singing and dancing?
That's the recipe for a successful Indian movie.
5 songs
2 fights
1 sentimental ending
... it can never go wrong
Were there any successful Indian films that doesn't have musicals fitted into?
Yes.
We call that documentaries!
