Podcasts about Sacred Games

Sameer Nair’s career trajectory is co-terminus with the average millenial’s consumption of Indian television and media. From bringing international shows like Street Hawk and Knight Rider to national television in the late 80s to making us come of age with American soap operas The Bold and The Beautiful and Santa Barbara as programming head of Star TV in the late 90s; from reinventing prime time entertainment with Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and Kaun Banega Crorepati as Star India chief to bringing Balaji Telefilms to the OTT space as its Group CEO…and finally telling stories he wants as managing director of Aditya Birla Group’s Applause Entertainment which gave us Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, it’s been quite the journey for Nair. Joining him in today’s conversation is Vikramaditya Motwane, one of Bollywood’s rare auteurs with a remarkable body of work: from Udaan and Lootera to Sacred Games and the most recent Netflix show Black Warrant, produced by Nair’s Applause. Motwane and Nair talk about their latest show and upcoming projects; contemporary history and book adaptations; why the experience of cinema needs to change and why the entertainment industry needs disciplined fund raising; on Amar Chitra Katha and mafia; and why the Indian entertainment industry is looking at a positive 2025 after two difficult years.

At long last, Jet Airways revival in sightTweaked stock options, coming soon to a job contract near youPetrol pumps cap inventory amid hopes of fuel price cutStartups, SMEs increasingly covet so-called fractional CXOsNetflix needs another midstream change in India. Here's why Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, March 13, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty trimmed some of their gains, yet managed to end Tuesday in the green. Largely the indices remained flat with NSE's Nifty 50 gaining a miniscule 0.01 per cent. BSE's 30-company index Sensex too rose only 0.22 per cent. HDFC Bank, TCS, Maruti Suzuki India, Infosys, and Reliance Industries emerged as the top gainers on Tuesday.Finally, there's been some progress in the possible revival of Jet Airways. The grounded airline got a second wind on Tuesday, after a decision by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. N-C-L-A-T has asked the bankrupt airline's lender's to handover the carrier to the Jalan-Karlock Consortium within 90 days. The National Company Law Tribunal — a lower body than the N-C-L-A-T, had approved the consortium's resolution plan for Jet Airways back in June 2021. It had even allowed the handover in January last year. However, Jet's lenders challenged this decision in the higher tribunal over alleging the consortium to be non-compliant with the resolution plan. Mint's legal correspondent Krishna Yadav reports on the development, crucial for not just Jet but also the Indian aviation industry. In a bid to retain top talent amid rising attrition, companies are juggling with different kinds of stock options for employees. India Inc is experimenting with hybrid forms of stock options, as opposed to the regular ones. Some of them include stricter forms of performance based stock options, analysts told Mint's HR and workplace correspondent Devina Sengupta. These restricted stock units or RSUs, are shares given to an employee as a reward upon fulfilling a predetermined period of service. On the other hand, performance stocks are granted only when an employee achieves particular objectives, remains with the company for a designated duration, and the company itself reaches its goals within its industry. For businesses, these stock options are considered "less dilutive." According to consultancy firm EY, the number of companies choosing alternative stock incentives for employees has increased by 25 to 30 per cent in the last few years.General elections are only a few weeks away. Freebies and price cuts usually become the main weapons against anti-incumbency for governments around this time. One such important pre-election move is cutting down the price of fuel. Anticipating a price cut, fuel stations are running low on inventory. Petrol and diesel pumps are keeping enough stock for only three days, as opposed to their regular inventory of five days. This is to save on any losses that may occur in case a price cut is announced. In case of a price cut, the new rates take effect immediately — leaving fuel retailers with losses on the stock they bought for a higher price. Mint's energy correspondent Rituraj Baruah reports on the cautious move by fuel retailers. He explains how a 5-rupee deduction in the price of petrol and diesel could mean losses of up to 1.5 lakh rupees for retailers in rural areas. The number only goes up for petrol stations in tier-3 and tier-2 cities. Petrol pumps in metro cities usually see losses of up to 25 lakh rupees on a 5-rupee price cut. Ever thought of a life where you can be a banker by the day, and manage finances for a startup as its CFO by the night? No, I am not talking about moonlighting for another company. Fractional C-suites employees are becoming more and more common across startups and small and medium enterprises in India. What's that you ask? These are experienced executives with deep competencies in domains like finance, marketing, and strategy who work with multiple companies at a time on a part-time basis. With the kind of flexibility a fractional CXO gig is able to offer, more senior executives are getting attracted to it. There is a demand factor to it also. Companies are increasingly looking for fractional CXOs to access good talent at affordable costs. Mint's startup correspondent Samiksha Goel writes about this unique trend shaping boardrooms across startups. She also spoke to C-suite executives following the trend and working as a fractional CXO. Globally, there's been about a 25 per cent increase in the hiring of fractional CXOs, while India saw a 10-12 per cent uptick among startups in sectors such as legal, finance, e-commerce, and technology, according to HR consulting firm Randstad. Remember Nawazuddin Siddiqui's iconic dialogues in Sacred Games? The Netflix original, parts of which were set in the Bombay of the 80s, became a pop culture phenomenon across languages in India. But pause for a moment and think. Has there been any other Netflix show as iconic as Sacred Games that comes to mind? The answer is highly likely to be no. The streaming pioneer, who entered India in 2016 has largely been facing flak for its strategy (or lack thereof) for the Indian market. Until recently, the streaming platform was struggling with adding and retaining subscribers. That is when it changed its password sharing policy, allowing only four devices to be linked to an account. The change, which is part of a multi-pronged strategy worked wonders for the company. Its paid subscribers have doubled over the past two years. Another change that helped, was slashing subscription prices. The mobile-only plan which would cost a user 199 rupees is now just 149, whereas for 199 a month, a user can watch Netflix on any device. Despite a big turnaround, the company lags behind its rivals which include Amazon Prime, Hotstar and JioCinema. The question remains, what's not working for Netflix, and what other changes does the company need? Mint's media and entertainment correspondent Lata Jha takes a deep dive into Netflix India's current scenario and answers some of these questions. For once, the company's acquisition strategy, where it is focusing on acquiring movies rather than producing originals, has been dubbed lazy by many. With the streaming market reaching the point of saturation in India, Netflix needs to up its game.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

This week, we discuss Lust Stories 2, Made in Heaven, how we went from the 'no kissing' clause to prestige TV sex, that hand on the frosted window in ‘Titanic,' and whether OTT shows are really portraying better sex. Respectfully Disagree is The Swaddle Team's very own podcast series, in which we get together to discuss and dissect the issues we passionately differ on.

What exactly is a showrunner? What is a writer's room and how do you set one up? Why are there so many power struggles and clashes on the sets of streaming shows between series creators and directors? Are series really a writer's medium? Filmmaker and the OG showrunner Vikramaditya Motwane is in many ways ideally placed to answer these questions. Back in 2018, his Sacred Games really kicked off this age of streamers, series and seasons with a bang as one of the first massive originals for a global streamer. Earlier this year his new show Jubilee was released on Amazon Prime Video. He's currently already hard at work on his next series. In today's episode, Vikram spoke to Suchin about how streaming has changed the game for filmmakers, why it's hard to nail the second season of a show, dealing with creative interference from platforms and why Jubilee wouldn't get greenlit today Follow me on : Instagram : https://instagram.com/suchin545?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg== Twitter : https://twitter.com/suchin545?t=Q1jBLqu1wm5TIqh-53liIw&s=09 Mentions Sacred Games - https://g.co/kgs/msMd9v Jubilee - https://g.co/kgs/k4VRkR Succession - https://g.co/kgs/VZxPdi Shakun Batra - Indian Filmmaker, best known for Gehraiyaan Navdeep Singh - Indian Filmmaker, best known for NH10 Pushpavalli - https://g.co/kgs/wLaA8e Tabbar - https://g.co/kgs/7KsvKK Decoupled - https://g.co/kgs/R4inRh

The superhit Nordic series The Bridge is up for an Indian remake and Saif Ali Khan has been cast to play the lead on the show. Produced by Endemol Shine India and Black Knight Film, the investigative thriller revolves around a dead body which is discovered on the border between two nations, calling for a joint-investigation to get to the bottom of the affair. Saif Ali Khan has already proven that he's got the chops to play a cop with much conviction, going by his performance in the compelling Sacred Games and we're sure this is going to be an equally thrilling ride.

The major production house Reliance Entertainment entered the streaming space in 2018 and has since produced 13 shows. They have also worked with several streaming platforms and have created gems like Netflix's Sacred Games, Disney+ Hotstar's Masoom, and Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-nominated film The Fabelmans. They are currently working with Amazon's Prime Video on Rohit Shetty's Indian Police Force, which revolves around a Delhi police officer. Furthermore, they are also working on Vikramaditya Motwane's Bollywood saga Jubilee.

In this episode, we are joined by Twitter's very own PoopDude (@KingKrebbs) to discuss the Netflix adaptation of Vikram Chandra's crime and conspiracy novel Sacred Games (Felt like this episode does indeed belong in the Movie Magic Series - I'll start including certain non-film projects in it based on merit), a riveting series starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a conspiracy tale that unravels several aspects of Indian society. We get into our thoughts on the series, as well as an extended discussion on Indian politics, film, and how diaspora media in the US fails to compete against heavyweight projects from the motherland (and why that's a good thing).

About Vikram Chandra:My next guest on The One Percent Project is the world-renowned author, professor and tech entrepreneur Vikram Chandra.  His first book Red Earth and Pouring Rain, published in 1995 was received with outstanding critical acclaim. It won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Book and the David Higham Prize for Fiction. In 2006, he published Sacred Games,  which won the Hutch Crossword Award for English Fiction and a Salon Book Award. In 2016, Sacred Games was chosen by Netflix to be their first original series from India. Vikram has been teaching creative writing for 25+ years first at George Washington University and now at UC Berkley. He is the co-founder and CEO of Granthika Co., a  revolutionary software startup that is re-inventing writing and reading for the digital age. I enjoyed speaking to Vikram about his early life, his work and his entrepreneurial journey.Rapid Fire:Most favorite comic book.I have to say ‘Phantom'- ‘Vetal'Advice that you would like to give Arthur Doyle, Sherlock Holmes?Get more women in there.A book, blog, or an author other than you who you will highly recommend for creative writing?Book, that's a tough one. I actually have a list of like 12 books. I guess, you know, I would say... okay, probably I guess I would say the book that I recommend to everyone is Janet Burroway's ‘Writing Fiction'. It's a wonderful craft book. Absolutely, it covers the field in a really clarify... I mean, a really clear way without dumbing it down.The hardest thing about your job?Well, actually writing every day. So, I have a friend. He's a colleague in the Department of English at Berkeley, Robert Hass, Bob Hass. He's a great American poet. And he has this... this lines that he says, “Writing is hell, but not writing is also hell. The only tolerable state is just having written.”Is there a third season of ‘Sacred Games'?The writer is the last one to know. So, unless there'll be an answer, I won't know. And if I knew, I couldn't tell you because they will send their ninjas after me.

I'm talking with Pastor Brian Zahnd about Fred Nietzsche on this episode. (Fred sounds so much more gentle, doesn't it?)Please check out Brian at https://brianzahnd.com. He's the author of several books. I've read them all. They are all worth your time. If you haven't read him before, lets see, I'd say start with "Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God." Though my favorite is "Beauty will Save the World." So, thanks to Brian for his time and his work. Hope you all dig this. And find it helpful. And share it with a friend. Meanwhile, be strong, which I think means, be weak. Something that would drive Nietzsche crazy. (Maybe it did.) Check out LQVE.org if you don't have anything better to do. Important stuff going on there!

Kubbra Sait is a tremendous actress and a fine MC but, she's terrible at Maths. And doesn't like kabaddi either. She tells me about her brother, Danish Sait and his fear of snakes. As well as why she LOVES Dubai, and more. Watch snippets: YOUTUBE.COM/PANTONFIRE. Head to sorabhpant.com for tickets for my shows.

Breakout actor of Netflix's Sacred Games Kubbra Sait drops by the Birdy Num Num podcast to talk about getting her dream acting role, being at peace with yourself, managing your career, giving Mumbai an adequate shot, having multiple backup plans and a LOT more. You can currently watch Kubbra on Zee Five's REJCTX.Favorite Quotes: "My friend said you should try to turn anxiety into curiosity.""Acting is not about acting, it's about waiting."You may have only heard of Kubbra as Kuku in the hit show, but she also had sizeable roles in Sultan and Gully Boy, and those of us in India's acting/comedy/MC scene have known her for years.  I've had the pleasure of getting to know her (albeit virtually mostly) through her brother Danish, but we hit it off in a lovely chat that spanned Mumbai, acting, Anuvab Pal (comedian friend), Made in Heaven, decision making and turning anxiety into curiosity. As with most creative careers, this conversation was not exactly linear but I tried my best to summarize some of the talking points below.
