<p>The Congress government in the southern Indian state of Karnataka is planning to impose cess on movie tickets as well as&nbsp;Over-the-Top (OTT) subscription fees to support the film industry.&nbsp;Karnataka Cine and Cultural Workers (Welfare) Bill, 2024&nbsp;was tabled in the state assembly on Friday (Jul 19) and if passed, the cess levied could range from one to two per cent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The additional revenue created by the taxes would be used to fund social security benefits such as the Provident Fund (PF) and Employees' State Insurance (ESI) for the cine workers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Any individual working in the film industry as an artist (actor, musician, dancer, etc.) or in any manual, supervisory, technical, artistic, or unskilled capacity is considered a cinema and cultural activist,"&nbsp;the bill reads.</p>

<p>"This also applies to people who are involved in activities that the government has declared in connection with this Act," it added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The bill also demands the creation of a seven-member welfare board that will manage the funds collected for cine workers and cultural activists. According to estimates by the Karnataka Film Workers Artists and Technicians Union, there are 2,355 workers in the state working on films and shows.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Labour Department Secretary Mohammad Mohsin highlighted there were plans in the pipeline to impose a tax on theatrical plays performed in the state as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karnataka Assembly's Leader of the Opposition and BJP MLA R Ashoka criticised the move saying Congress had become a 'pauper government'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The price of petrol, diesel and everything is rising. They have put a tax on movie theatres and OTT subscriptions also. This government has become a pauper government. So there is no money. That's why they are generating the money," said&nbsp;Ashoka.&nbsp;</p>

Can Netflix steal the gaming space?

<p>New voices should be applauded and given a platform, said actor Manoj Bajpayee on Friday as he lamented the lack of mentorship provided by the streaming services to independent filmmakers.</p>

<p>At a panel discussion at the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here, the actor said when the streaming services started in India, they backed independent storytellers but now these platforms are giving priority to blockbuster films.</p>

<p>“One thing that all streaming services started with initially was that they were making independent cinema but that got lost somewhere. For some reason, it has gone down completely and now we see blockbuster films making their way big time."</p>

<p>“But the independent cinema movement that started and was getting such mentorship from the OTT platforms, is gone. And that is a very sad development,” Bajpayee said.</p>

<p>If there is no independent cinema, then the Indian film industry will not evolve, he stressed.</p>

<p>"We will only grow in terms of money but we will not grow as creative people. New voices should be applauded and given platforms. I think they were doing so beautifully well earlier," he added.</p>

<p>Bajpayee said it is unimaginable for independent films to get funding at par with tentpoles such as <em>Jawan, Pathaan</em>&nbsp;or<em> Tiger 3.</em></p>

<p>"It can't stand a chance and if you're giving shows at 9 am for an independent film, it will never do well. It will fall flat. I really request from this stage to all these platforms that they should revive that mentorship," the actor said.</p>

<p>Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the co-creators of Bajpayee's popular OTT series <em>The Family Man, </em>agreed with Bajpayee.</p>

<p>"Earlier, all these films were directly made or shown on OTT. Now it is a clause that it has to play in theatres and only then we will take it," Nidimoru said.</p>

<p>Krishna added, "This is happening worldwide right now. There used to be a time when there would be a film and then there would be an OTT movie. But The Russo Brothers made<em> The Gray Man</em>&nbsp;for Netflix and it is as big as any theatrical film. So now every film is a big film." Apoorva Bakshi, who backed International Emmy-winning series <em>Delhi Crime</em> and <em>Hunt for Veerappan</em>, said streamers are pouring in resources into making "blockbusters".</p>

<p>"There is no safe home left for independent films and that is happening because a lot of resources are going into the blockbusters. I believe independents help filmmakers to become better show creators and directors," she said.</p>

<p>Raj said being an independent filmmaker taught him and Krishna to be self-sufficient.</p>

<p>"We didn't know anyone in the industry, we taught ourselves. So this whole package of indie cinema gave us the confidence that wherever you give us, we can make a film, irrespective of the budget and the stars. I think that's what still keeps us going," he said.</p>

<p>Krishna believes independent filmmaking helps in coming to terms with the fact that "you won't get everything you want".</p>

<p>"You kind of adapt then, I think 'jugaad' is the word. You somehow get the job done and that's how we started making films... Then this OTT and series concept came to India. We were fans of the shows from the West but nobody knew how to make a series in India. I think that jugaad mentality and idea of going back and figuring out how it is done, that came in handy," he added.</p>

<p>The 54th edition of IFFI will conclude on November 28.</p>

Manoj Bajpayee on lack of independent content on OTT platforms: ‘It’s a sad development’

<p>OTT Prime Video recently announced the global premiere of their upcoming original Tamil horror series, <em>The Village.</em> Inspired by Asvin Srivatsangam, Vivek Rangachari, and Shamik Dasgupta’s graphic horror novel of the same name, this horror thriller narrates the story of a man, who is on a quest to unravel the mystery behind his family's disappearance. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Arya will make his impending OTT debut with this show,&nbsp;making his long-format streaming debut with this horror series. Arya will be seen playing the role of a man named Gautam, who is on a rescue mission to find his family, along with some locals in the village of Kattiyal. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking about his exciting project, Jamshad Cethirakath, aka Arya, shared, “My OTT debut with The Village has definitely been a different kind of experience. The show's concept, which is the horror-thriller element with a lot of gore, and a very rooted story was also never experienced in the Indian OTT market. I found that particularly enticing, which led me to pursue it further. The horror series is a class apart from all other horror genres seen on the Indian OTT platforms. A lot of times, the horror that we see in movies too is very restricted and one cannot go beyond a certain point while creating it, but here Milind (Rau - the director) has gone all out. I think this is a way for creators to believe in making this kind of content because people really want to watch these types of genres.”</p>

I found that particularly enticing, which led me to pursue it further. The horror series is a class apart from all other horror genres seen on the Indian OTT platforms. A lot of times, the horror that we see in movies too is very restricted and one cannot go beyond a certain point while creating it, but here Milind (Rau - the director) has gone all out. I think this is a way for creators to believe in making this kind of content because people really want to watch these types of genres.” Also read: Cardi B is dropping support for Joe Biden over sending aid money to Israel, Ukraine for their wars Along with Arya, The Village features Divya Pillai, Aazhiya, Aadukalam Naren, George Mayan, PN Sunny, Muthukumar K., Kalairaani S.S., John Kokken, Pooja, V Jayaprakash, Arjun Chidambaram, and Thalaivasal Vijay in pivotal roles.

The Village will stream on Prime Video in Tamil, dubbed in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, with subtitles in English from 24 November.

<p><strong>More about the movie:</strong><br />
<br />
Helmed by Farhad Samji, the film shows Salman as everyone's favourite Bhaijaan. He's a self-defence trainer and is living a bachelor's life with his brothers. However, he falls for a South Indian girl, Bhagyalaxmi, played by Pooja. However, Bhaijaan soon comes to know that Bhagyalaxmi's brother and the entire family have been threatened by a goon. How he protects his girlfriend's family makes up the rest of the story.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by Farhad Samji, Sparsh Khetarpal, and Tasha Bhambra, the film was released on the occasion of Eid. Grossing ₹182.44 crore (US$23 million) worldwide, the movie did a decent box office collection worldwide.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
WION's film critic Shomini Sen wrote in her review: Ultimately, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan works only for its action sequences in the second half - provided you have the palate for incessant punches and mind-numbing stunts. Both Khan and Venkatesh somewhat uplift the climax but the film's writers Farhad Samji, Sparsh Khetarpal, and Tasha Bhambra's lazy writing shows.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pooja Hegde and Salman Khan's romance- which forms the core story- is ice cold. It's like the girl is romancing a cucumber. In fact, Salman's inability to emote much is incorporated cleverly in one scene where he holds the same straight face when his lady love asks him to emote. Quite meta, I'd say. Also, the way the brothers decide to choose the girl for their beloved Bhaijaan is bizarre. One moment they decide and pray to god that they want a girl for their brother, and the next second, the girl lands right in front of them. Also, no background check is done for her- so much for loving their Bhaijaan. The girl could have easily been replaced by a pigeon flying past them- they would have chosen it for their Bhai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The crackdown on password sharing by Netflix looks to be thriving in the US, which may not come as a surprise. Netflix witnessed a significant increase in subscribers in the four days following its May 23&nbsp;notification to consumers regarding its paid sharing rules, claims data analytics firm Antenna as reported by&nbsp;The Wall Street Journal.</p>

<p>Antenna reports that the streamer also attracted 100,000 customers on both May 26 and May 27. While average daily signups increased to 73,000 over this span, signifying a 102 percent growth over Netflix's prior 60-day average. Antenna estimates that number of customers to be more than what Netflix gained when the covid-related lockdowns took place in March and April 2020.</p>

<p>In accordance with Netflix's new password-sharing rules, users must pay an additional $7.99 per month to share their account with up to two individuals who do not reside in their home. Antenna reports that even though Netflix had cautioned investors about a "cancel reaction" that may happen in response to the shift, there were still more signups than cancellations during the time that it observed.</p>

<p>Netflix introduced paid sharing in a number of non-US nations in February, including Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. The firm stated on its most recent earnings conference that as a result of the crackdown, the number of subscribers in Canada is "now growing faster than in the US."</p>

<p>It's still too soon to know how much of an impact Netflix's crackdown on password-sharing has had in the US, but we'll probably learn more about it when the company releases its earnings results next month. We're already seeing a range of responses to Netflix's crackdown here at The Verge.

<p>Late last month, Netflix added the extra fee for password sharing; as a result, sharing your account with someone who is not a member of your household now costs an additional $8 on top of your monthly fee.</p>

<p>You may add two extra users to your account if you subscribe to Netflix's Premium tier for $20 per month.

Netflix sees spike in subscription after crackdown on password-sharing

<p>Since the advent of OTT in our lives, audiences have become choosy with the type of content they want to watch — both on the big screen as well as the small screen. They also now are clear on which films they are going to spend big bucks on. As I watched <em>Jogira Sara Ra Ra</em>, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma, I couldn't help but wonder: "Why would people spend their money to watch an old-school comedy-drama that has been served plenty of times before?"</p>

<p>Not only this, the film raises the question of why the decision was made to release the film on the big screen at a time when Bollywood is witnessing more misses at the box office than hits. However, keeping all these thoughts aside, let's discuss the movie and whether the audience should pay for the ticket or simply wait for the film to land on the OTT platform.</p>

<h3><strong>What's the story?</strong></h3>

<p>Helmed by Kushan Nandy, <em>Jogira Sara Ra Ra </em>revolves around a jogi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a wedding planner, matchmaker, and total&nbsp;jugaadu — a word used to refer to someone excelling at&nbsp;frugal innovation. His business is successful, but his personal life is chaotic, and the blame goes to his ladies' clan, comprising his&nbsp;mother, a bunch of sisters, and an aunt, who are always on his head. Jogi, who is single and has no plans to get married, meets Dimple Chaubey (Neha Sharma), whose infamous eloping habits have made life terrible for her family.<br aria-hidden="true" />
<br />
Jogi and Dimple reunite after a brief encounter in&nbsp;Bareilly, a small town in North India, but this time it's for Dimple's wedding.</p>

<p>Jogi is well aware of Dimple's wild side. As he signs up as a wedding planner, Dimple made it clear that she has no intention of getting married and urges him to help her ditch the wedding. How Jogi plans silly tricks to fulfil Dimple's demands makes for the rest of the story.</p>

<h3><strong>Jogira Sara Ra Ra – A hit or a miss ?</strong></h3>

<p>What are the key features that make for a good rom-com? It should be full of entertainment with funny dialogues, a decent story, a cast that suits the vibe of the characters, and a plot that keeps the viewer hooked with endless laughs till the end. If the film ticks all these boxes, the movie is a hit. But, in the case of <em>Jogira Sara Ra Ra,</em> it tries to tick most of the boxes but fails miserably and leaves everything halfway through.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by Ghalib Asad Arora, the film doesn't explore much and remains tangled in many unnecessary things that only stretch the film. The narrative of the film is baffling and makes you wonder about the maker's motive. At some points, the film goes haywire with some unnecessary plot points, preachy dialogues, and character additions.</p>

<p>Despite so many flaws, the makers attempt to give the film a humorous touch which brings in some laughs momentarily.</p>

<h3><strong>How's the cast&nbsp;</strong></h3>

<p>Nawaz has proven his acting prowess in many critically acclaimed shows and movies, but he seems like a misfit in this film. To be honest, this is not a character meant for him. Nawaz as a flirty Jogi, wearing a blingy jeans jacket and speaking preachy dialogues, doesn't blend well. On the other hand, Neha's performance as a free-spirited brat child is credible. She has tried to do justice to her character but what holds her back is the lazy writing.</p>

<p>Like always, Sanjay Mishra manages to win the hearts of the audience as Chaudhary. His comic timing is perfect and his scenes light up an otherwise dull film. Other actors like Mahaakshay Chakraborty&nbsp;as Lallu, Suman Patel, Rohit Chaudhary, Vishwanath Chatterjee, Ghanshyam Garg, Zarina Wahab, and others have done a decent job in their limited screen time.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2L6t0wuEtE" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<h3><strong>Final verdict:</strong></h3>

<p>The shows and films set in the small town have always had a loyal fan base, but to match the vibe of the audience, you have to put in stuff that seem realistic to make it relatable. However, that's not the case for<em> Jogira Sara Ra Ra.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>The cast, dialogues, and comic timing may be perfect at one point, but the excessive amount of drama takes the charm away. It seems that the makers have tried to bring the early 2000s vibe when films like<em> Hungama, Chup Chup Ke,</em> and <em>Hulchul </em>won the hearts of the audience with their perplexing funny plots.</p>

<p>To sum it up, the two-hour-long film only has two unnecessary kidnappings, over-the-top drama, a fight scenario, twists and turns that have no connection with the plot, and a set of songs that are just extra additions.<br />

Since the advent of OTT in our lives, audiences have become choosy with the type of content they want to watch — both on the big screen as well as the small screen.

Since the advent of OTT in our lives, audiences have become choosy with the type of content they want to watch — both on the big screen as well as the small screen. They also now are clear on which films they are going to spend big bucks on. As I watched Jogira Sara Ra Ra, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma, I couldn't help but wonder: "Why would people spend their money to watch an old-school comedy-drama that has been served plenty of times before?" Not only this, the film raises the question of why the decision was made to release the film on the big screen at a time when Bollywood is witnessing more misses at the box office than hits. However, keeping all these thoughts aside, let's discuss the movie and whether the audience should pay for the ticket or simply wait for the film to land on the OTT platform. What's the story? Helmed by Kushan Nandy, Jogira Sara Ra Ra revolves around a jogi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a wedding planner, matchmaker, and total jugaadu — a word used to refer to someone excelling at frugal innovation. His business is successful, but his personal life is chaotic, and the blame goes to his ladies' clan, comprising his mother, a bunch of sisters, and an aunt, who are always on his head. Jogi, who is single and has no plans to get married, meets Dimple Chaubey (Neha Sharma), whose infamous eloping habits have made life terrible for her family. Jogi and Dimple reunite after a brief encounter in Bareilly, a small town in North India, but this time it's for Dimple's wedding. Jogi is well aware of Dimple's wild side. As he signs up as a wedding planner, Dimple made it clear that she has no intention of getting married and urges him to help her ditch the wedding. How Jogi plans silly tricks to fulfil Dimple's demands makes for the rest of the story. Jogira Sara Ra Ra – A hit or a miss ? What are the key features that make for a good rom-com? It should be full of entertainment with funny dialogues, a decent story, a cast that suits the vibe of the characters, and a plot that keeps the viewer hooked with endless laughs till the end. If the film ticks all these boxes, the movie is a hit. But, in the case of Jogira Sara Ra Ra, it tries to tick most of the boxes but fails miserably and leaves everything halfway through. Written by Ghalib Asad Arora, the film doesn't explore much and remains tangled in many unnecessary things that only stretch the film. The narrative of the film is baffling and makes you wonder about the maker's motive. At some points, the film goes haywire with some unnecessary plot points, preachy dialogues, and character additions. Despite so many flaws, the makers attempt to give the film a humorous touch which brings in some laughs momentarily. How's the cast Nawaz has proven his acting prowess in many critically acclaimed shows and movies, but he seems like a misfit in this film. To be honest, this is not a character meant for him. Nawaz as a flirty Jogi, wearing a blingy jeans jacket and speaking preachy dialogues, doesn't blend well. On the other hand, Neha's performance as a free-spirited brat child is credible. She has tried to do justice to her character but what holds her back is the lazy writing. Like always, Sanjay Mishra manages to win the hearts of the audience as Chaudhary. His comic timing is perfect and his scenes light up an otherwise dull film. Other actors like Mahaakshay Chakraborty as Lallu, Suman Patel, Rohit Chaudhary, Vishwanath Chatterjee, Ghanshyam Garg, Zarina Wahab, and others have done a decent job in their limited screen time. Final verdict: The shows and films set in the small town have always had a loyal fan base, but to match the vibe of the audience, you have to put in stuff that seem realistic to make it relatable. However, that's not the case for Jogira Sara Ra Ra. The cast, dialogues, and comic timing may be perfect at one point, but the excessive amount of drama takes the charm away. It seems that the makers have tried to bring the early 2000s vibe when films like Hungama, Chup Chup Ke, and Hulchul won the hearts of the audience with their perplexing funny plots. To sum it up, the two-hour-long film only has two unnecessary kidnappings, over-the-top drama, a fight scenario, twists and turns that have no connection with the plot, and a set of songs that are just extra additions.

Jogira Sara Ra Ra review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s film is neither for theatre nor OTT

<p>Netflix plans to invest $2.5 billion in South Korea's entertainment content in the span of the next four years, announced Ted Sarandos, the CEO of the streaming giant, after holding a meeting with the country's President Yoon Suk Yeol in Washington.</p>

<p>In recent years, South Korea has elevated its status as a global cultural powerhouse, especially because of the explosive success achieved by the blockbuster Netflix series "Squid Game" and the Oscar-winning film "Parasite".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Netflix is delighted to confirm that we will invest USD 2.5 billion in Korea including the creation of Korean series, films, and unscripted shows over the next four years," said Sarandos, in a statement, on Tuesday.</p>

<p>"This investment plan is twice the total amount Netflix has invested in the Korean market since we started our service in Korea in 2016," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sarandos stated that Netflix had "great confidence" that the creative industry of South Korea would continue to narrate great stories, as he pointed to the recent success of the reality show "Physical 100" and South Korean drama &nbsp;"The Glory".</p>

<p>"It is incredible that the love towards Korean shows has led to a wider interest in Korea, thanks to the Korean creators' compelling stories. Their stories are now at the heart of the global cultural zeitgeist," he stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the last few years, the entertainment industry of South Korea took the world by storm as more than 60 per cent of viewers were recorded watching South Korean dramas on Netflix, stated the company data.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netflix, which invested more than 1 trillion won ($750 million) in producing Korean content from 2015 to 2021, had earlier stated that it will increase its South Korean drama output.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yoon, who reached Washington Monday for a six-day state visit, hailed the meeting held with Sarandos calling it "very meaningful".&nbsp;</p>

Varisu and Thunivu OTT: Check release date, When and Where to Watch Thalapathy Vijay & Ajith Kumar starrers

<p>Prime Video's upcoming web series 'Farzi' has created a lot of indistinct chatter ever since its gripping trailer has been released. While the trailer has ignited a fire of anticipation among the audience, one thing that has been eagerly looked up to by the masses is the superstar Shahid Kapoor making his OTT debut with this web series.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The buzz of Shahid Kapoor's digital debut with 'Farzi' has been echoing around the town and the superstar also seems to be equally excited about the same.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Recently during an interview, he opened up about his experience of working in the OTT arena. He said, “It is a lot of firsts. We started talking about the show even before everybody started talking about OTT as an option. When I say everybody, I mean the film fraternity. I love their (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) shows. I love 'The Family Man' one and two,” shared Shahid, who was first approached by the director Raj &amp; DK for a film eight years ago.<br />
<br />
"I had loved Raj and DK’s 'The Family Man 2'. They called me for a film, I asked if they had a show for me. They went ‘really?’, and I said yes! It’s exciting to collaborate with people who are at the top of their game, and in India they are the best of the best." He further added.&nbsp;</p>

'Farzi' is an eight-episode crime thriller with Raj &amp; DK's signature humour, told through the eyes of a clever underdog street artist attempting to thwart a system that favours the elite.<br />
<br />
The series also features an ensemble cast including talented actors Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Bhuvan Arora, Regina Cassandra, and Amol Palekar in pivotal roles. Produced by D2R Films, Farzi will premiere on Prime Video from 10th February in India and more than 240 countries and&nbsp;territories.</p>

Steven Spielberg explains the ending of his classic film Schindler’s List Recently during an interview, he opened up about his experience of working in the OTT arena. He said, “It is a lot of firsts. We started talking about the show even before everybody started talking about OTT as an option. When I say everybody, I mean the film fraternity. I love their (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) shows. I love 'The Family Man' one and two,” shared Shahid, who was first approached by the director Raj & DK for a film eight years ago. "I had loved Raj and DK’s 'The Family Man 2'. They called me for a film, I asked if they had a show for me. They went ‘really?’, and I said yes! It’s exciting to collaborate with people who are at the top of their game, and in India they are the best of the best." He further added. 'Aarya 3' First Look: Sushmita Sen is back in the boldest avatar 'Farzi' is an eight-episode crime thriller with Raj & DK's signature humour, told through the eyes of a clever underdog street artist attempting to thwart a system that favours the elite. The series also features an ensemble cast including talented actors Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Bhuvan Arora, Regina Cassandra, and Amol Palekar in pivotal roles. Produced by D2R Films, Farzi will premiere on Prime Video from 10th February in India and more than 240 countries and territories.

<h2><strong>Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever review&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Grief serves as Wakanda Forever's core theme, making it distinct from other Marvel films. Ramonda and Shuri make an effort to cope with unfathomable pain and remember their losses. Where Wakanda Forever conflicts the most is in this: It struggles to decide exactly what it should feel or where it wants to land in terms of a feeling. But perhaps that is the more accurate film, the more sincere.&nbsp;</p>
