    India’s tourism ministry strikes deal with Netflix to showcase destinations through film

    NEW DELHI: India’s ministry of tourism has signed a memorandum of understanding with Netflix to promote the country’s destinations through cinematic storytelling, marking a bold digital pivot in the government’s tourism strategy.

    The partnership, announced at a World Tourism Day celebration in New Delhi, will use curated trailers and global outreach to showcase Indian locations to Netflix’s worldwide audience. The streaming giant’s involvement signals India’s recognition that modern tourism marketing requires Hollywood-scale production values and global distribution networks.

    The ministry also signed agreements with the Atithi Foundation and online travel agencies to boost strategic research, innovation and capacity building. These deals aim to collect post-travel visitor feedback, enabling data-driven policy decisions across states and union territories.

    Niti Aayog vice-chairperson Suman Bery told the gathering that tourism was “not just about leisure” but “a powerful instrument for economic transformation, environmental stewardship, and social inclusion.” Speaking as chief guest at the event, presided over by minister of state for tourism Suresh Gopi, Bery emphasised that India must “embed sustainability at the core of our strategy, not at the margins.”

    The celebration launched a Project Management Information System providing real-time monitoring of tourism infrastructure projects. The ministry also released its 66th India Tourism Data Compendium, highlighting record international and domestic arrivals. India now ranks 20th globally for international tourist arrivals.

    A new guidebook for Mudra loans for homestays was unveiled, offering step-by-step instructions for online applications through the Jan Samarth portal—part of efforts to democratise tourism entrepreneurship.

    High-level panels featuring officials from road, aviation, railways and shipping ministries stressed seamless multimodal connectivity as essential for sustainable growth. Thematic sessions examined case studies including Mahakumbh 2025 and the Statue of Unity, alongside discussions on using artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality to enhance visitor experiences.

    The Netflix deal represents a savvy acknowledgment that in an attention economy, even ancient temples and pristine beaches need cinematic treatment to cut through the noise. Whether Hindi movie and series creativity meets Silicon Valley can deliver the tourists remains to be seen.

  • Balaji Telefilms goes big on movies and OTT, trims TV bets

    Balaji Telefilms goes big on movies and OTT, trims TV bets

    MUMBAI:  Balaji Telefilms is flipping its script. In a year marked by a strategic overhaul, the Ekta Kapoor-backed entertainment house has declared a decisive pivot from television towards high-growth verticals: movies, digital streaming, and branded content.

    Addressing analysts on its FY25 earnings call, group chief executive and CFO Sanjay Dwivedi outlined a transformation roadmap: “Movies will be our growth engine, digital will scale next, and television—once our mainstay—will become the third line of business.”

    The studio reported consolidated revenue of Rs 453 crore in FY25, down from Rs 625 crore the previous year. Yet net profit surged to Rs 84.6 crore from Rs 19.4 crore, largely due to a rights-heavy strategy in film and digital. The PAT margin stood at 18.7 per cent, and the company ended the year with Rs 172 crore in cash and mutual funds.

    Balaji’s OTT platform ALT Balaji saw a turnaround. Once burning Rs 120–145 crore a year, its cash burn has now dropped to just Rs 35 lakh a month. The platform added 3.29 lakh subscriptions in Q4 FY25, with total active subscribers crossing the 2 million mark.

    The company is also phasing out its pure SVOD model in favour of a hybrid SVOD–AVOD play, supported by a short-form vertical content app called Kutting. YouTube strategy and advertiser-funded content (AFP) are set to bolster revenue.

    Crucially, Balaji sealed a long-term content partnership with Netflix, spanning original films, binge series, telenovelas, and reality formats over 3 to 7 years. “This is not a one-off deal—it’s a foundational alliance for the future,” said Dwivedi.

    Balaji is betting on movies to power future growth. It has de-risked the vertical by recouping up to 90 per cent of production costs via pre-sales and co-production deals. In FY25, films contributed 30 per cent to revenue.
    Its upcoming slate includes Vrushabha (starring Mohanlal), the Priyadarshan-directed Bhoot Bangla with Akshay Kumar, and Vvan, a collaboration with TVF featuring Sidharth Malhotra.

    The studio targets 6 theatrical releases per year and is building on a franchise playbook with sequels like Dream Girl, LSD, and Shootout.
    TV content production touched 133 hours in Q4, with four shows on air. However, broadcaster yields remain 25 per cent below pre-Covid levels, and Balaji is cautious about further TV expansion.

    “TV is a volume game now. Rates aren’t recovering. We’ll stick to 6–8 shows a year, with a cap around Rs 350 crore,” said Dwivedi.

    New shows include Bade Achhe Lagte Hain – Phir Se and a reboot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
    The company is also experimenting with AI-led production, launching a series titled Kalnagri on its platform. Regional expansion is on the cards, starting with Tamil and Telugu.

    On YouTube, Balaji hit 1 million subscribers in a month, banking on a mix of new shows and IP-retained repurposed content—especially as Indian viewers seek alternatives to banned Pakistani serials.

    Balaji has a Rs 300 crore B2B order book from leading OTT platforms. It expects digital to contribute 20–25 per cent of revenue in two years. The company is not planning a spin-off of the digital business for now, but hints at unlocking value once scale justifies it.

    “We are storytellers, not just platform owners,” Dwivedi said. “Our job is to find the next big content wave—whatever the screen.”

    Bharat Hain Hum goes big with cross-platform promotions push on radio, satellite & OTT

    Mumbai: Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum returns, rewriting the playbook with cross-platform rollout. The celebrated animated series, which first gained immense popularity for highlighting the untold stories of India’s lesser-known freedom fighters, is set to expand its reach even further with an innovative distribution strategy.

    The ministry of information and broadcasting officially launched Season 2 of the animated series at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, with Nagarjuna gracing the occasion. This season continues the series’ mission to spotlight unsung heroes like Taji Dele and Ponge Dele from Arunachal Pradesh, Wazir Ram Singh Pathania from Himachal Pradesh, and Birsa Munda from Jharkhand, among others.

    As with the first season, Season 2 has premiered simultaneously across three major platforms—Doordarshan, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video in 12 Indian languages (including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Assamese, and Odia) and seven international languages (French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and Arabic), making it accessible to audiences in over 150 countries worldwide.

    As per the press release in a historic first for Indian animated content, the series has also extended its reach through a Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy: Bharat Hain Hum radio series, which airs on All India Radio (AIR). The radio series, broadcast in 12 languages, is scheduled at 10:30 AM on Sundays—just 30 minutes before the animated series airs on Doordarshan at 11 AM. This synchronised scheduling ensures that the audience can easily transition from radio to television, effectively merging traditional and modern forms of media consumption.

    Additionally, a podcast featuring episodes from the animated series will be available on Spotify across 180 countries. The podcast will not only promote the series but will also encourage listeners to tune into the show on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, further amplifying its global outreach.

    “We are proud to bring Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy to the world in a way never done before in Indian content,” said Munjal Shroff, the creator of the series. “This cross-platform promotion is a first-of-its-kind strategy that will connect with audiences across generations and geographies, giving them multiple entry points to engage with the series. It’s about making the stories of our unsung heroes accessible and inspiring on every platform possible.” Shroff added.

    Graphiti Studios co-creator and director  Tilak Shetty echoed these sentiments: “This initiative reflects our commitment to creating a series that resonates globally while staying true to its roots. The radio series and podcasts provide an innovative way to build excitement for the animated episodes, ensuring that audiences on all platforms can experience the magic of Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy together. It’s about breaking new boundaries for Indian animation and telling our history in ways that have never been done before.”

  • “Family Aaj Kal explores young India’s aspirations through a relatable family setup”: Anushka Shah

    “Family Aaj Kal explores young India’s aspirations through a relatable family setup”: Anushka Shah

    Mumbai: Premiering on 3 April on Sony LIV, a family-centric show – Family Aaj Kal, invites you to embark on a captivating journey through the complexities of modern family life.

    Produced by Civic Studios, a global media company focused on impactful entertainment, this eagerly anticipated show promises to resonate deeply with viewers. Featuring a stellar cast including Apoorva Arora, Sonali Sachdev, and the late Nitesh Pandey, the show is spearheaded by writer Manoj Kalwani, and director Parikshit Joshi, offering a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds against the vibrant backdrop of Delhi.

    Indiantelevision.com in conversation with Civic Studios’ founder Anushka Shah talked about the uniqueness of the show, certain nuances of the show and more…

    Edited Excerpts:

    On the inspiration behind creating Family Aaj Kal and what sets it apart from other family-centric shows

    Family Aaj Kal came about from wanting to explore how some of the problems we see around us in society play out in internal family dynamics. When it comes to choosing a child’s partner, we often see these biases clash with a parent’s desire to want what they see as best for their child. The show is extremely relatable in the way it explores young India’s aspirations through a family setup. It talks about the issue of unemployment in India, the overemphasis on jobs as an identity that often leads to class bias, and finally, the right to choose your own partner.

    On the collaboration between Civic Studios, Manoj Kalwani, and Parikshit Joshi for the production of Family Aaj Kal

    Manoj Kalwani had been a writer we were interested in working with at Civic Studios for a while, and when we conceptualised this project in-house we thought he would be the perfect fit. Parikshit had been a director working at Civic Studios on several of our YouTube comedy sketch videos – we felt his ability to bring a sensitive yet light-hearted approach would be ideal for this show.

    On the message or emotions that you aim to evoke through “Family Aaj Kal”

    The main emotion we want the audience to experience is what happens when we’re forced to challenge our own biases – it often starts with denial but ends in discovery, and that is a tough but beautiful journey to go on. In many ways, that is where change and progress at its most core level in a society happens.

    On choosing Delhi as the setting for “Family Aaj Kal” over other cities and the city’s unique characteristics that contribute to the storytelling and resonate with the audience

    Delhi was chosen as our target audience because the show concentrates on a young Hindi-speaking audience from North India. The family is shown to be urban and middle-class and they see themselves as modern and liberal, while also coming to terms with their own biases. Delhi became a reflective setting for the same, but the story would be relatable to audiences around the world and not just this city.

    On your vision for the future of Civic Studios, and the upcoming projects or initiatives that you’re particularly enthusiastic about

    At Civic Studios we aim to create content that is entertaining, engaging, and empowering. We have over 20 projects on our slate at different stages of production to release across feature films and web series. We recently had our animated feature film Schirkoa premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival where it won the NETPAC award for Best Asian Film, and next month we start shooting in London on a very fun and exciting Christmas musical with Gurinder Chadha.
