Entertainment in India
GC takes a look at the thriving – and evolving – Indian entertainment industry, and the lawyers working behind the scenes.
Everyone wants to work in the movies, right? In India, plenty of people do. Figures quoted in Deloitte’s 2016 Indywood report put India as the world’s largest film producer, churning out between 1500 and 2000 a year, and driving a $2.1bn industry – which is expected to reach $3.7bn by 2020.
‘Bollywood’ – the centre of the Hindi film industry, and a play on Bombay, as Mumbai was once known, and Hollywood – is the main feather in the Indywood cap, although films made in India’s other regional languages, particularly South Indian languages Telugu and Tamil, are also abundant.
