India has always been a land of rich culture, diverse traditions, and unparalleled natural beauty. However, the global recognition of India’s talent and art is becoming more common. With the Oscar-winning RRR and The Elephant Whisperer, India has taken a giant leap toward the world stage.
These movies have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, not only in India but also globally. RRR, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is an epic action film that explores the theme of freedom and revolution. The movie boasts an ensemble cast, including Ram Charan, Jr NTR, and Alia Bhatt. The movie’s breathtaking visuals, stunning action sequences, and gripping storyline have made it a global sensation. The film has been dubbed in multiple languages and released in international markets, including the USA, the UK, and Australia.
The Elephant Whisperer is a short documentary by director Kartiki Gonsalves. It is a heartwarming tale of a couple (Bomman and Bellie) caring for an orphaned baby elephant. The film documents the rich and warm bond between the young animal and his caretakers. It is the first Oscar for an Indian short film documentary.
The success and recognition of these two movies are a testament to India’s ability to produce quality content that resonates with audiences globally.
Globalization and democratization are the two pillars on which talent, art, skill, and business will grow boundlessly.
Both have changed the way the world works. With the rise of technology and social media, the world has become smaller, and opportunities for growth and development have become limitless. In this era, talent, art, skill, and business will thrive, unbound by geographical barriers through unique layers of technology and intelligence.
India’s rich culture and heritage and rapidly growing economy make it a prime destination for global investment and partnerships. The Indian government has taken several measures to make it easier for businesses to operate in India, including simplifying the tax system, easing regulatory norms, and promoting foreign investment.
The Internet and deep-tech are two great equalizers as due to this, film shoots, crew & locations, promotions, after effects, sound and many more can be used as per best global standards. It has levelled the playing field, allowing individuals and businesses to access information, resources, and markets that were once out of reach. The rise of social media platforms has given artists and creators a platform to showcase their talent and reach a global audience.
Technology has revolutionized how movies are made and marketed in the film industry. With visual effects and sound design advancements, Indian movies can now compete with Hollywood globally. The use of technology has also made it easier for Indian film to be dubbed in multiple languages and released in international markets, increasing their reach and revenue potential.
As India goes to conquer the world, the world is also more and more coming into India
India’s rise on the global stage has not gone unnoticed. International players increasingly view India as a potential market and talent pool. MNCs and business leaders worldwide have set up operations in India, and Indian startups are attracting global investment.
In the entertainment industry, Hollywood studios are partnering with Indian production houses to create movies with global appeal. For example, Disney’s The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau, was shot entirely in India and featured an Indian child actor, Neel Sethi, in the lead role.
Today Indians are making a mark in the field of business, management, art, sports, software, and many things, while global players want to come to India to access our talent and consumption story
Indian talent is no longer confined to the borders of the country. Indian CEOs are leading global companies, Indian artists are performing on international stages, and Indian athletes and sportspeople are winning global competitions.
It is a wonderful time for India to reach out to the world. And it is a great time for the world to experience India in a modern way. Indians are both ready to roar and win our place under the sun and whisper and convince the world of our ingenuity, culture, and competitiveness.
