DIL CHAHTA HAI FULL MOVIE WATCH ONLINE TV
I don’t think either of us had heard stories or ideas that we could do justice to, given what was being consumed by TV audiences. RS: Farhan and I used to engage with some of our GEC peers for the satellite rights, and often they’d ask us if we were interested in doing something for TV. How was that decision made? And how did you anticipate that the pulled content is going to be the future of the entertainment industry?
DIL CHAHTA HAI FULL MOVIE WATCH ONLINE SERIES
Q Excel was the first production house to get onto the original web series bandwagon in India with Inside Edge (2017). Whenever you have a story, or you have a film, you have the same amount of excitement, eagerness, and nervousness. It feels like you’re starting all over again. You’re not restricted the audiences are evolving filmmakers are taking steps to tell different kinds of stories. RS: We’ve reached a time now when you’re getting opportunities of telling your stories not only within your diaspora with OTT, but also being able to expand the audience base. There’s nothing you can do to make that happen or plan it in that kind of way. These have found audiences as time has passed. Of course, there are films like the ones you mentioned-I’d put Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Lakshya, Karthik Calling Karthik in there. When we make films, we want to engage with the audience. The realisation of being ahead of one’s time is something that happens much after your film releases, and how the audiences feel about it 10 or 15 years later. Do you think you have achieved what you set out to do?įA: In everything that you do, there’s always space to grow and an opportunity to learn something. Q Many of Excel’s movies, such as Dil Chahta Hai, Fukrey and Gully Boy, are considered cultural milestones.
Looking back at how much has happened, and the incredible people we’ve had opportunities to work with, when it gets encapsulated into a two-minute video, you realise how much work has been done, and how many people have shared your vision. Hopefully, we’ll continue to engage and entertain, inspire, and give important messages for the next 20 years as well.įarhan Akhtar: We have endeavoured to engage beyond just entertainment. We are fortunate to be a part of that change. The stories started changing at that point.
There was a generation that was not going to the cinemas, and we managed to bring those people into theatres to start experiencing movies. The kind of movies we wanted to make, the kind of stories we wanted to tell, at that point, a lot of it was coming from what was happening around us. During Dil Chahta Hai, people started telling us that, ‘You are way ahead of your time’. What we set off to do was to tell stories of our times. Ritesh Sidhwani: We’ve managed to hopefully stay on track. Q When you look back, what do you see as Excel’s place in the film industry? Starting with Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Excel has delivered noteworthy productions, including Gully Boy, India’s entry to the Oscars in 2019, and nurtured talents such as director and screenwriter Reema Kagti, director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, and director Zoya Akthar.Īfter two decades in the entertainment industry-which has witnessed the evolution of technology, consumer behaviour and the rise of digital media and OTT platforms-Akhtar and Sidhwani trace their journey, and the evolution of their production house. When Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani created Excel Entertainment 20 years ago, they wanted to tell the stories of their times.
