  • Bangladesh lifts 39-year old ban on Indian films

    Bangladesh lifts 39-year old ban on Indian films

    MUMBAI: In a welcome sign, the Bangladeshi High Court has lifted the 39-year old ban on Indian film exhibition in the country.


    Expressing his happiness at the move of the Bangladeshi High Court, producer Mukesh Bhatt said, “That‘s great news! This move will provide a death knell to the pirates there who make merry by selling the latest Bollywood fare.”


    “We were always of the view that there should be mutual coordination between all SAARC countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan Maldives and Nepal). Bangladesh and India can be of good use to each other by mutual coordination. Who knows, one day we might see a joint Indo-Bangla film being rolled out,” Bhatt added.
     
    After Eid-Ul-Fitr festival that ends on 10 September, cinemas in Bangladesh will start screening Indian films. This will start with the release of three Bengali films – Jour, Badla and Sangram, that are currently awaiting approval from the Bangladesh Censor Board.


    Later, Bollywood‘s biggest hits including Sholay, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Dhoom:2, Don, Wanted and 3 Idiots would be exhibited.


    The Bangladesh Cinema Halls Owners Association has welcomed the move by saying that the Court‘s decision was “the best thing to have happened” to the country‘s cinemas. Cinema hall owners have expressed hope that they would be able to start showing new Indian films shortly.

  • NDTV gets Karan Johar on board for entertainment channel

    NDTV gets Karan Johar on board for entertainment channel

    MUMBAI: The Prannoy Roy-promoted NDTV Ltd, which last month announced the formation of NDTV Ventures to start a slew of TV channels, including a Hindi general entertainment channel, has begun making its moves on that front.

    As a first step towards launching a Hindi entertainment channel, NDTV today announced its partnership with filmmaker Karan Johar’s production company, Dharma Productions.

    Karan Johar will be on the board of NDTV’s Entertainment company, and Dharma productions will hold an equity stake in it. Queried about the nature of the stake Johar would hold, NDTV’s chief executive for growth and strategy Vikram Chandra said it would be as sweat equity.

    Johar’s role has been defined as helping originate concepts and new programming ideas for the channel. Johar will also function as an ambassador for the NDTV entertainment brand.

    Dharma Productions will produce shows for NDTV’s Entertainment channel, and the channel will have first right of refusal on any programmes that it produces for television.

    Speaking on the new alliance, Johar said, “For me this partnership between NDTV and Dharma Productions is not just a professional association… it’s a family bonding and I believe in the power of the family! What a family can do together no individual can do on his own. This family is going to be at a TV screen near you, creating all the celebration possible. So please watch NDTV emerge as the leading entertainment channel of the country and this is not just a projection … this is a guarantee.”

    The NDTV Entertainment channel is being launched as part of NDTV’s expansion beyond the news.

    Karan Johar and Dharma productions have produced major blockbusters such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum, Kal Ho Na Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
