Monopolies Entering the Movie Industry

Recently there had been a lot of discussion and fights in the Malayalam movie industry about Corporate’s entering the industry. They call them monopolies, but I call them corporate’s. They are companies like Ad-Labs, Pyramid Saimira, UTV etc.

The existing unions in the movie industry are not very excited with the coming of such companies. But for the audience and people with real talent its a welcome move.

Film industry is one of the most unpredictable and unfriendly businesses around. In almost every other business, customer is the king. Here the customer is forced to take what ever nonsense established stars, directors and producers shove down our throats.

To get a break in the current industry, it requires a lot more than just talent. The industry has a closed nature and is very unfriendly to new comers. We can see a lot of “family” nature in the current industry.

Also the industry is plagued by unprofessional distributors and producers. Many good movies go unnoticed because of the greedy distributors and theatre owners. Actors and fans clubs also have their share in this.

All this is set to change when corporate’s enter the industry. If we take a look at the movies that are made by these corporate’s we can see that most of them good. I have not seen a bad movie from UTV.

For the audience, who pays for the 3 hours he spends inside the theatre, the corporate’s offer more guarantee for the money. Also I hope this will bring in a lot of fresh blood into the industry breaking the “family” nature of the industry.

    1. More investments means, more work for people in the industry.

    2. A good business model means, less crap movies ( yea, at times they fail to do good business too, I agree )

    3. Those crap union thing is afraid of competition and good business spirit.

    With just 3 crores of Mallus around the world , I don’t understand how the economics of big budget mallu movies work out. The mallu movie industry as such is unaware of the potential of internet. With the proliferation of broadband, the pirates can kill any movie on day one. The broadband usage is slowly catching up across Kerala. Let us wait and watch how many movies will come out in coming years.
