Indian Movies Now Have a Unified Release & Promotion Platform in UK
London, April 21, 2016 (Newswire.com) - NRI audiences are always looking at ways and means to connect to their roots. Indian movies and cricket play a great role in rekindling the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the diaspora. Till recently, the information about the latest Indian flicks in UK was scattered over online resources. Entrepreneur duo, Pratik Shelar & Swapnil Kulkarni from London have cracked the code through their website www.indianmoviefriend.com.
Indian Movie Friend is bridging the gap between Indian films and UK diaspora through their efforts. “There are over 8000 Marathi families settled across UK. This is over and above the numerous students who enter the country and innumerable Indians who speak other languages. This diaspora is constantly looking at options to connect to their roots. We started www.indianmoviefriend.com, as UK’s first single destination platform where Indian movie fans can book tickets, read interesting news and experience engaging content.” Said Pratik Shelar, founder, IMF.
Apart from aiding ticket booking and providing movie news, IMF works on bringing Indian movies to the UK. They are the first official distributor for Marathi films in UK. Since its inception in mid-2015, IMF has distributed and promoted Marathi blockbusters like Natasamrat, Katyar Kaljat Ghusali, Anurag and Nagrik. The company has promoted several Indian movies including Bahubali (Tamil), Srimantudu (Telugu), 10 Endrathukulla (Tamil), Acha Din (Malayalam), Mass (Tamil), Paying Ghost and Aambala (Tamil).
Mahesh Manjrekar, IMF patron & prominent actor-director says, “This is a fantastic initiative to connect our films and movies to Indians residing in the UK. I must compliment Indian Movie Friend for having the vision to bring us close to our fans and audience. IMF is going to be a beacon in the Indian Movie distribution industry.” IMF’s efforts have ensured that top Marathi stars including Nana Patekar, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Sunil Barve, Ajit Parab, Mrunmayee Despande and others have connected with their audience in UK.
“Till date we have built an ever-growing loyal customer base of over 10,000 Indian families. We aim to connect brands, movie makers and the crew with their fans in UK. Very soon we will be streaming movies live for the UK diaspora. In the long run we plan to extend our services to other countries as well” concludes IMF co-founder, Swapnil Kulkarni.
