Author & an expert on the world of entertainment business, Vanita Kohli-Khandekar will chat with producers, studio heads, trade analysts, directors - deep diving into who spends the money, who makes the money, film budgets, profits and the works
In our second episode, we sit with Siddharth Roy Kapur (Founder and M.D - Roy Kapur Films.) We delve into his journey from being one of the top management members at UTV Motion Pictures with Ronnie Screwvala, to moving on to being MD at Disney India and finally starting his very own production house. He talks about the business of Bollywood, why he thinks we’re prospering as an industry, and the scope of making this larger.

Sidhharth has to be one of the most charismatic people in the industry, I can listen to this man all day
Vidya Balan agrees
Along with Karan Johar and Shahrukh Khan. Excellent oratory skills
Excellent oratory skills just like Karan Johar and Shahrukh Khan.
Probably one of the best interview I have seen, loved how she said, the worker side of bollywood beyound Akshays, SRKs should pop out.
And he is such a sorted and well spoken person yaar❤
This was a beautiful interview, Vanita! I'll watch any interview/podcast she does.
Always been an admirer of Roy Brothers
Sid KRK & Adi
Big ups
And Kunal
Haha KRK is Kunal Roy Kapur
Aptly named by his good friend Anuvab Pal on Our Last Week
Very insightful...I haven been following Vanita's work on Linkedin for quite some time. Good to see her discussing some really important topics around streaming! Good work FC
It’s like I’m hearing Aditya Roy Kapur speak
Absolutely love this man and Vanita great work again!
Thank you for watching!
When intelligence is crisp clear! That intellect is super attractive, we can now all see what Vidya saw in him. Talent attracts Talent 😊
Apart from the fact that he is extremely well aware of what he is doing, he is so damn gorgeous. Adds all the more flavour. Ahhhhhh! Vidya is so lucky
Unpopular opinion : love jagga jassoos. Tell them to make a sequel with an older jagga
Yes ❤
Ranbir as jagga ♥️♥️🤌
And nawazuddin 🎉
yeah but should drop the singing storytelling..thats where things went wrong
I loved jagga jasoos as a Bengali, we could relate to the tonality of the film. Please please make the sequel..
Informative and to the point interview. Both are fabulous at what they do
Thank you for watching, Shreya!
I remember learning in another interview that the Indian film-going audience is 75% male. I think that goes a long way into answering the question of why the film-going audience is not a larger percentage of the population as a whole: if you have the female half of the country stuck at home/home + job because all their time and energy is taken up taking care of the household, they are not going to go to the theatres. They might watch movies on video or streaming, perhaps even while doing the housework, but going out of your way to go to the cinema is out of the question. Unless women are freed of the burden of being almost exclusively responsible for housework, good luck trying to raise your theatrical viewership
could be but it's these men who HAVE to watch movies like Laapata Ladies and Queen. they will reach my mum and probably my househelp if these stories manage to disturb or pleasure the men.
Vidya + siddharth =❤
No wonder Vidya married him, right?
Such charming, intelligent personalities ❤
Handsome and eloquent man but Nikhil Advani seemed a lot more open and willing to share, felt like I actually learned something in that interview. Siddharth didn't let the answers go too in-depth even though there were some moments he could have.
Sorry Vanita, I just couldn't handle your interruptions. Let your guest complete their sentences and let out their thoughts instead of you trying to fill them up. I understand your curiosity and your comfort level with the guest but it would be great if you could just add a bit of a breather in the conversation.
Vanita Mam, Please do a podcast episode with Guneet Monga.
what a beautiful interview
These conversations are really insightful, thank you for sharing with us 💛👏🏼. I love how clarity of thought Siddharth has and is eloquent too. I’ll have to take notes for my improvement. Good interview, thank you again!
Thank you for watching!
Lovely listening to both of you!
Both Vidya and Siddharth have lost weight and looking fitter….
A movie with A lister start cast in India costs 300 crs & cost of Hero/Heroin & main support cast is nearly 75% and cost of making and marketing is rest. However in hollywood cost of actors is just 10% of overall cost.
Hollywood, it’s the brand that’s more emphasized than the actor where as in India, it’s the actor who’s more popular than the brand.
@@raja-jl9os Not always true, there are some movies with ip like avengers/Mission impossible etc that are based it's own IP and brand but there are many without IP brand example Oppenhiemer that even with A lister royalty was made with huge budget and all actors fee was just 10% of total cost. If we apply that logic all Singam and Houseful etc IP based movies with it's own universe should not spend more than 25% of overall cost on actor fees then chances of turning profit will increase.
@@naveenbangalore362 nolan make more money than all actor's in Oppenheimer
The reason for the no going to theater is pretty obvious it is too expensive 1 plate nacho and 2 fanta’s cost me 780 odd rs who can afford it the jhalmuri wala near my office tells me that is ka gaaoo ma kaya kasba ka be theater band ho gaya hai sab phone sa kam chalaate hai. I pause to write this comment
Hollywood, it’s the brand that’s more emphasized than the actor where as in India, it’s the actor who’s more popular than the brand.

Such an awesome interview. Siddharth is so smart and I relate to him given his background in brand management and Cpg (similar to mine). Loved that he transitioned into the movie business and has been so successful Seems like he’s got his head and heart in the right place. Thanks for the insight on the 8 week window between streaming vs theatrical release. Didn’t realize it was a set window. Now I can better decide which movies to go watch in theatre vs which ones to wait to watch on ott
zara hatke zra bachke despite being a successful theatrical came onto OTT after a year. Rocky aur Rani took more than 10weeks and Merry Christmas too.
He has become handsome now… kudos to vidya I suppose
Interviewer needs to be better prepared
The interviewer seem to be underprepared. She's misquoting films and talent associated with the film most of the times.
Maybe she suffers from memory issues, women often face it with menopause but it’s not spoken about much. She is quite a reputed journalist and couldn’t have become one with lack of preparation.
You should add chapters for each video, helps segregate for audience and take a overlook of context...
Has been added!
@@FilmCompanion Much appreciated!
What is the movie that went to the academy award?
RRR got 150crs from Japan which is huge numbers
More than many hollywood blockbusters. If you guys dont talk about RRR success and reach worldwide which is most rcecent then whats the point of soft power and all that?
Do you know prithviraj actor. Adujeevitham is one of his film. It is a survival triller film. He will get next Oscar (best actor) for the performance in adujeevitham. I know you don't understand what I am saying, Firstly you watch the film adujeevitham then you will understand. He loss 32 kg for the film. And the film is shoted 16 year's. Ar rahman is the music director of this film. Blessy is the director of this film. I know may be now you are thinking what foolishness are you talking about, but it's afact. it's one of the best film in this century. A perfectly made film. You just watch ADUJEEVITHAM then share your reviews
So next Oscar award is coming to 🇮🇳 INDIA Kerala
There are only two films which made a mark globally of India (not limited to few countries) in a very very big way in recent times that the world is aware of. One is Slumdog Millionaire(british production film - poor representation of India) and the other is RRR(indian production film - strong representation of India). RRR had the best chance to go past sucess of Dangal in china because chinese people have similar hatred towards Britishers as any other country in the world, chinese people could have connected very strongly with the emotions of RRR more than Dangal's for sure. Dangal only worked in China apart from India so it is not considered a huge success globally as earlier films. Looking at the current and future prospects of Indian film industry it looks like south indian films are going to go head-to-head & toe-to-toe with international films especially Telugu industry and bollywood might see the sunset if not awoken early(since they are complacent in their efforts)... Hope all indian film industries realize their true potential from amalgamation of all into one talent pool and they can even beat Hollywood. Next promising films from India surely are #Kalki & #SSMB29. S S Rajamouli should be a case study for other filmmakers in India & world for his ability to penetrate other regions with each of his modern films going from one state to entire south region in India, then with Bahubali going into Japan i.e. East part of the world and with RRR going East to West. Looks like this time he might conquer every part of the world with #SSMB29. Waiting with bated breath for that to witness... S S Rajamouli is truly a deadly combo of James Cameron + Steven Spielberg. Huge Fan♥
Bahubali dont work in china because they have better fantasy and action movies
How many kilos has Sid Roy Kapoor has lost ?
MULTIPLEXES ARE RUINING THE FILM WATCHING EXPERIENCE. I AVOID GOING TO MULTIPLEXES BECAUSE OF HUGE TICKET price
Anchor interrupting too much
Its a bit of an idiotic question at this point of per capita screen count etc. What is per capita income of Indians, Vs people in the US and China? Why even compare with them. Standard of living is poor and cinema or multiplex movie watching is a luxury. So given we have low levels of income, people willing to shell out on cinemas will be low. Based on that, we will have low screen count. Which country does this lady live in? Does she not know that non-urban population in India is 90%? Useless question. 50% of 1.5 billion is not the addressable population, you guys are wrong. Cinema enthusiast will hardly be 20% of that, and cinema literate, well better not even go there.
Incompetent movie makers..majority of them
Film Companion and English speaking elites still live in their LaLa Land... These guys still thinking that by speaking Words like Patriarchy, Masculinity has got to do anything with the movies..
Bollywood industry is still greenlighting and pushing mediocre stars like Ananya, Sara Ali Khan by giving repeated chances when their movies and web series are failing.. These guys are not able to swoon the hindi speaking states in India and going bombastic on conquering the NRI living outside India.. I have not seen any single actor apart from Amitabh Bachchan who could speak Hindi perfectly the rest of the actors are from Punjabi Speaking regions... By blaming young actors who don't know Hindi and over pushing them won't make them stars overnight. Meanwhile in Malayalam movies actors speak Malayalam in interviews.. Rather than claiming why the movies here sucks concentrate on actors should start speaking Hindi so that the interview could be understood by everyone in North India.. Don't blame the audience blame yourself.. Ask your talent to learn to speak Hindi....
Hollywood, it’s the brand that’s more emphasized than the actor where as in India, it’s the actor who’s more popular than the brand.
Only 70s and 80s actor talk in hindi 90s actor's always talk in english 😂 shree devi dont talk in hindi in old interview
The host is a bunch of fresh energy
