American in-laws…

…will they accept the Indian affair of Hollywood?

The Oscar winning flick Elizabeth earmarked the debut of Indian cinema on the American silver screen. Ever since, the on and off flings between Bollywood and Hollywood have always been there. But it seems those flirtatious affairs between the two are now taking shape of a serious romance. Be it Anil Ambani’s aggressive Big Motion Pictures (a part of Reliance Big Entertainment) or Ronnie Screwvala’s consistent UTV, the chase for the Hollywood cheese is really heating up among the Indian corporate production houses. But what is it that has kicked off this romance?

What will be the compatibility quotient between the two? More importantly, will the American in-laws be able accept this ‘Indian affair’ of Hollywood? The vital statistics of Hollywood are one of the biggest bait enticing the biggies of Bollywood to invest in the industry. Sample this: The American Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry is worth a mind boggling $612 billion (in contrast to a paltry $13.6 billion Indian M&E industry) accounting for 40% of the M&E industry in the world. The movie business alone in America is worth $35 billion (compared to $2.4 billion of the Indian film industry) and contributes the lion’s share of 42% to the world film business worth $84 billion. Talking about the Indian production house’s Hollywood stint, Naresh Gupta, Head, Planning, Publicis India says, “This was bound to happen… Hollywood is the biggest film market in the world. How can one not target such a lucrative market?”
