For veteran Bollywood filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, his latest film “12th Fail” is the gift that keeps on giving.
Based on the 2019 book of the same name by Anurag Pathak, the film tells the true story of Manoj Kumar Sharma who conquered extreme familial poverty to pass one of the world’s toughest examination processes and become an Indian Police Service officer.
Distributed by Zee Studios, the modestly budgeted “12th Fail” released theatrically in October 2023 in a Bollywood market where only big-budget action spectacles were working and many smaller films were taking the easier route to bowing directly on a streamer. The lead cast of Vikrant Massey (Disney+ Series “Criminal Justice”) and Medha Shankr, while extremely competent, were not marquee names.
The film struck a chord with audiences and has grossed $8.5 million to date, more than three times its budget. “Each film has its own God, and it’s always...

“We believe that continued execution of our plan will unlock value. We are very conscious of the fact that our job as management is to create value for all our shareholders. There are multiple ways to potentially accomplish that. But to the extent that there are other alternatives, we will be diligent about exploring them,” he told investors at a Morgan Stanley media conference when asked about M&a speculation swirling around the Bob Bakish-led, Shari Redstone-owned company for months, with no deal announced.
He declined to comment on the M&a chatter, which has zeroed in on David Ellison’s Skydance Media, Bryon Allen and, earlier, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Bollywood A-list star Rani Mukerji was in refreshingly candid form at Mumbai’s Ficci Frames media industry conference, proffering frank opinions on the Indian theatrical business.
The usual Hindi-language domination of the all-India box office was reversed for a period in 2021-22, when films from the south of India, including “Rrr,” “Kantara,” “Ponniyin Selvan” and “Vikram” dominated, and the northern counterparts from’ Bollywood’ struggled to become hits. Since then, the north-south competition has evolved again.
In 2023, there were only three south Indian films in the box office top 10, “Salaar,” “Jailer” and “Leo,” at numbers four, six and seven, respectively. However, Hindi-language films made by south Indian filmmakers – “Jawan” in pole position and “Animal” in third – performed exceedingly well.
“They listen to what the audiences want,” Mukerji said. “When cinema is evolving and everybody’s trying to cater to a diverse audience, sometimes you lose touch with the popular or the...

Paramount Global ended last year with around 67.5 million subscribers to its flagship streaming service Paramount Plus, the company announced on Thursday.
The data point was revealed in Paramount’s fourth quarter (Q4) and full-year earnings report, through which Paramount executives affirmed their subscribing losses peaked two years ago, and they expect Paramount Plus to be fully profitable by next year.
The 67.5 million subscribers reported on Thursday represent a net increase of 4.1 million customers. The figure doesn’t include the number of customers in the United States who purchased Paramount Plus with Showtime to stream the Super Bowl earlier this month, because the event fell outside the scope of the earnings report.

The inevitable M&a question came toward the end of Paramount Global’s hourlong conference call with Wall Street analysts on Wednesday — a session that undoubtedly would have been more contentious for Paramount leaders if they hadn’t started out by serving up sacrifices for the greater good of free cash flow and profit.
Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish waved off the inquiry from Bank of America Merrill Lynch media analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich about the tidal wave of media speculation about suitors coming (and going) for the company with a breezy “We’re always looking for ways to create shareholder value.” But it was clear from the earlier commentary and business updates from Bakish and chief financial officer Naveen Chopra that they are charting a course for this year and next to take streamer Paramount+ to the promised land of profitability and keeps the company entact as a standalone entity.

After the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, and with every streaming service now laser-focused on profitability, Hollywood has been keeping a close watch on efforts to adjust content spend, either reducing spend overall, or finding ways to change the cost structure.
At Paramount, reducing that programming spend has now become a top corporate priority, according to CEO Bob Bakish and CFO Naveen Chopra, speaking on the company’s earnings call Wednesday.
“As we move into 2024, we’re focused on producing content more efficiently and magnifying the impact of our slate,” Bakish told analysts.
“2023 presented an opportunity to experiment with alternative lower-cost entertainment programming across our linear networks,” Chopra added, referencing the moves made by the company at CBS and its other networks during the strikes. “The performance we saw gives us confidence we can continue to reduce cost going forward while also delivering a consistent volume of high quality content.

Paramount Global expects to take a $1 billion charge in the current quarter due to ongoing programming shifts and the layoffs it announced earlier this month.
CFO Naveen Chopra delivered that outlook during the company’s fourth quarter earnings call with Wall Street analysts. The company is “making a variety of important changes to our global workforce and content strategy,” he said. “These moves reflect decisions we’ve made to transition our business and enhance our future value proposition. They will also result in a programming and restructuring charge in Q1, which we currently expect to be approximately $1 billion.”
The company has been increasingly “optimizing and sharing” programming across streaming and linear TV, Chopra noted. “We’re also focused on using the collective power of Paramount Global to unlock synergies more broadly. This mindset enables headcount cost reduction, including the action we announced earlier this month.”

Paramount Global hit 67.5 million Paramount+ streaming subscribers worldwide at the end of its fourth quarter, a gain of 4.1 million from the previous financial quarter.
The Hollywood conglomerate, with its future the subject of mounting speculation on Wall Street, on Wednesday said it expected to deliver “significant total company earnings growth” in 2024, and reach profitability for Paramount+ domestically in 2025.
On an after-market analyst call, Paramount CEO Bob Bakish underlined increases in viewer engagement, reduced churn and a subscription price increase as bringing profitability to Paramount+ next year, which represented a “significant and exciting milestone in the company’s transformation.” The studio’s CFO, Naveen Chopra, also forecast a lower programming spend for Paramount’s streaming platforms.

Paramount Global said it narrowed losses in its streaming business in its fourth quarter while grappling with declines in revenue in its larger TV and movie operations, echoing a dynamic followed by media rivals including Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney.
The New York owner of the CBS broadcast network, the Paramount+ streaming hub and the Nickelodeon cable channel said it saw a 6% decline in overall revenue during the period as the effects of last year’s Hollywood strikes weighed on its film and TV operations, which grappled with declines in advertising sales, content licensing fees and affiliate revenues.
In remarks, Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra emphasized an increasing focus on cutting costs, and said the company anticipated a charge of $1 billion in the first quarter for layoffs and restructuring. Paramount recently laid off about 800 staffers. Chopra also said that those costs would include $200 million tied to restructuring and the rest for programming write-off charges,...

12th Fail
Just when the talented Vikrant Massey was becoming typecast as the supportive husband in heroine-centric film he delivers an exceptional performance in an author-backed role as an Ias aspirant from the Chambal Valley who journeys from a failed student to a successful civil servant.
That this moving and inspiring film is based on true facts makes it all the more commendable. Vinod Chopra who has helmed a series of duds in recent years including the anaemic film on Kashmiri Pundits Shikara, directs this heartfelt homage to the never-say-die spirit with an unwavering sincerity.
This is Chopra’s best film in years. It is a motivational film but not swamped by its urge to make a statement. Shot in real locations the actors are well chosen, each furnishing a heft to his or her part without making it look like a favour to human kind.

Coming from Morena in the Chambal region once infamous for dacoits in Madhya Pradesh, Manoj Kumar Sharma was an Ips aspirant who had put up a brave fight while trying to chase his dreams.

New Delhi, Aug 13 (Ians) India meet the West Indies in the fifth and final T20I at the Broward County Stadium in Florida, US, on Sunday, with the series level at 2-2. Shubhman Gill’s return to form is the good news that India has been waiting.
JioCinema expert Aakash Chopra, said: “It’s a significant relief because the issue was that the team wasn’t gaining momentum at the start. In T20 cricket, almost eight out of 10 times, you need to have the momentum on your side. Up until now, you were playing on pitches where matches were won at around 150 runs, but even then, there was some time to settle in. Now, with the Florida pitch that should present 180+ conditions, a good start is important, and Shubman Gill’s return to form is a good sign for the team.”
With both teams looking to go all out in the series-decider,...

New Delhi, Aug 9 (Ians) India won the third T20I of the five-match series by seven wickets, after going 0-2 down. Tilak Varma, who made his India debut in this series, continued his good form and scored his third consecutive thirty-plus score.
JioCinema expert Pragyan Ojha recently tweeted that Varma should be fast-tracked into the No. 4 spot for Team India in ODIs.
Aakash Chopra seconded Ojha’s view but said there is another aspect to it.
“Generally, we tend to forget people who are not there. This has been a continuous debate happening around the No. 4 position. We even talked about it during the Odi series. We saw three different batters at that position, Axar Patel was also tried at that position, even though he wasn’t a candidate for that position. At that time, we were still discussing Shreyas Iyer or Kl Rahul, right? When they are back, I think Tilak must wait.

Port of Spain, July 31 (Ians) Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes the team thinktank should continue experimenting if the management thinks that’s the way forward for the Odi series decider against the West Indies set to happen at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on Tuesday.
The series is on the line for India, who suffered a six-wicket defeat in the second Odi to West Indies after being bowled out for just 181. In that match at Kensington Oval, India rested veterans like captain Rohit Sharma and talismanic batter Virat Kohli, giving game time to Sanju Samson and Axar Patel in another round of experiments by the side ahead of this year’s Odi World Cup.
“If you were to look at the series for experiments, why stop? If you’re going in with the philosophy that ‘I am going to try a lot of cricketers, I’m going...

Bridgetown, July 29 (Ians) Young opener Shubman Gill has not had the best of outings on India’s ongoing tour of the West Indies. But former India opener Abhinav Mukund believes the right-handed batter’s lean returns on the trip to Caribbean till now, are not a cause for concern.
After Gill got the Orange Cap award for being the leading run-scorer in Ipl 2023 with 890 runs, he has been in lean patch in international cricket. He scored 13 and 18 against Australia at The Oval in the World Test Championship final, followed by recording scores of six, 10 and 29 not out in Tests against the West Indies as a number three batter.
In the Odi series opener at Kensington Oval, Gill was back to opening, but made only seven off 16 balls in a meagre chase of 115.
“I think it’s too early to talk about Shubman Gill’s failure because he has had a phenomenal last couple of years.
