Changing face of Entertainment

The entertainment industry in India is waiting for yet another disruptive innovation, with millions of young users equipped with gigabytes of data every day, there is a new untapped customer base. Not particularly untapped since it makes do with pirated movies and free web series. But, there is an apparent lack of entertainment streamed towards them. Also, the shift from television sets to mobile devices, sets the stage clear for a change in content. the spikes in porn consumption and adult web series do speak of this unattended guest.

The popularity of two platforms, mostly youtube and TikTok, have also helped in developing a new class of actors. To name a few Sumeet Vyas, Jitendra, Bhuvan Bam and much more. It has become apparent that the arduous task of going from one to another production house seeking a side role in a daily soap or movie, is on a decline. Not that, people won't get their debut at soaps and movies, but it seems easier to get a web series and keep working than pray for the big break. TikTok is altogether different from Youtube. the content here does not need to be well defined. In fact, it could just anything that attracts, more like a video-based social media.

but the hidden advantage is that the 15 seconds video in TikTok is enough for the casting crew to make their verdict since they are looking at a raw untapped talent. Even for assigning supporting characters in movies, directors are increasing choosing youtube stars. With the entertainment industry getting a structure like never before, the final change is to be seen in the content. The industry has smoothly shifted from fantastical romances and physics-defying action to the common man hero and biopics. With the entertainment becoming more relatable in terms of the character and stories of daily life. A distinction from what could be imagination and reality is a question that every viewer seems to ask.

This implies that to achieve the majority, it's theoretically advised to stick to the centre. And this love for mediocrity makes democracy allergic to politically solid decisions.  Along with it, democracies tend to be the rooster for sweet talkers. And that is an outcome rather than a voluntary trait. Primarily because most voters need to be equipped to deal with the complexities of the field. For example, it could be more practical for an electrical engineer to comprehend medical patterns and the pandemic's effect on production. Thus, democratic institutions need people managers who have two keywords to watch out for - sweet talking and status quo. However, democracies have been hugely popular. And people have reported being happier. Whether this is induced, indoctrinated or influenced is another question. But history has cho...

Potter beyond the ages.

The one series that must be crowned the best-seller of best-sellers is the "Harry Potter series". What Rowling brought to the world nearly two decades ago, should probably be crowned the pop culture of the 00's and everyone who grew in this era knows the impact this masterpiece has had in the lives of little boys to young girls. The three major characters which build up over the storyline are necessarily Harry (Potter), Severus(Snape) and Albus(Dumbledore). Harry, does symbolise the classic hero, born in difficult circumstances, blessed with a legacy that made him the special one. In fact, the whole book idolises Harry, his values find plenty of words and his exploits come up as the title of the book. It is without a doubt that Harry was the hero build for new teens who were on the maiden voyage to the literature and novel reading. And in this Rowling did prove her skills, with the language, approach and unfolding of the story.  Severus, however, is a hidden part...
