Vikramaditya Motwane wants more screens for low-budget films in theaters | Bollywood

The director hailed the success of Vikrant’s mass-starrer ‘The 12th Failure’ and said that the film is a great example of how mid to mid-budget films can do if they continue to be released in theaters and positive word of mouth accumulates. He said that this could be an interesting example of how it is possible to increase box office revenue. .

“‘The 12th Failure’ is a great case study of a film that has the potential to be both commercially and critically successful. Word of mouth is the key to any film getting into theaters beyond its opening day and weekend. It needs time to build. “In the case of ‘The 12th Failure,’ people were talking about the movie in the fourth week and the 12th week, but it allowed us to take a breather,” Motwane said. said in an interview with PTI.

Motwane said not all films can be released on 5,000 or 2,000 screens, as some films take time to grow from hundreds to thousands of screens.

“We have 10,000 screens for 1.3 billion people in our country, and the United States has 30,000 screens for 300 million people. You can’t blame the museum. We’re coming out of a post-pandemic world” if losses need to be rectified.

“But there has to be a balance. You can use 70 percent of your screen for that, but 30 percent of that should be for a certain type of film. There should be a little bit of diversity.”

“12th Fail” directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra INRDespite grossing $70 billion at the worldwide box office, Varun Grover’s All India Rank did not stay in theaters for long despite receiving critical acclaim.

“If every film had that much breathing time, it would be a success story. But ‘All India Rank’ will be out in two weeks,” Motwane said.

The filmmaker is behind the series “Black Warrant,” based on the book by Tihar Jail’s longest-serving warden Sunil Gupta and journalist Sunetra Chowdhury, and the cyber-thriller film “Black Warrant,” starring Ananya Panday. I am currently working on two projects called “Control”.

Calling himself platform agnostic, Motwane said he will continue to tell stories for theatrical and over-the-top audiences.

“I love to make anything because I love watching series and movies. I also like watching small movies. As far as formats are concerned, I’m tormented. Whatever excites me, whether it’s a movie or a series, I’ll do it.”

The success of “Jubilee” gave Motwane the “confidence” to deliver a compelling story.

“Every project is a new challenge. You’re just as nervous as your first film, and so was I. One thing I can say is that I’m confident in my storytelling.” “I don’t think anyone has figured out what works and what doesn’t, but good stories connect with people,” he said.

“The construction has started, but we don’t know when. Season 2 will take time. We don’t want to create anything in secret,” Motwane added.
