Following is a PESTAL analysis of the film industry of India for the purpose of launching Ananta Jalils popular movies on the theaters of regions among the 7 sisters of India where a good number of people speak Bengali.

1. POLITICAL ANALYSIS OF FILM INDUSTRYMr. Kapil Sibal, Minister of State for Science and Technology, identified film industry as one of the important sector for Indias export oriented growth. However, compared to governments in other countries; efforts by the Indian government to encourage the sector have been very minimal. Bangladesh has a World Bank-funded support program for the film industry. In contrast, there have not been many initiatives from the Indian government to promote the film industry, at least till the past one year. The Film Production Association of India recently suggested to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India that all TV channels must ensure10% reservation for local animated content. The government can further encourage investments and participation in this sector by providing tax benefits. It can provide grants to Indian animators for participation in international conference and for taking up training programs abroad.

2. ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS OF FILM AND FILM INDUSTRYIndias attractiveness as a film industry in the presence of an English-speaking workforce, high-quality software engineers, a large pool of creative talent, good studios and low costs. The cost of producing a 120 minute Bangla movie program in India is 300, 0000 tk. India has a cost advantage compared to the other which is another low cost producer of films. The cost of outsourcing one hour of film work to India is estimated to be 30% to 40% of the corresponding costs in leading film centers in Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Indias advantages in low costs have been exploited by many multinational firms and production studios. The advent of digital film coincided with the liberalization of the Indian economy and India offered the benefits of lower production costs, strong creative and technical skills. This has led to the development of state of the art film studios in several Indian cities, and these studios are collaborating with global entertainment companies.

India is booming with potential in the movie industry. In a year, Bollywood produces more movies than Hollywood itself. Indicating that the Indian population have a massive demand for new movies. If Ananta Jalils movies are taken to the theaters of the states among the 7 sisters of India, it has the potential to be a blockbuster hit.

SOCIAL ANALYSIS OF FILM ANDFILM INDUSTRY

The first issue to be focused on is the language barrier. Mr. Jalils movies will be most cost effective in the states where a good number of people can speak Bengali. Translated version of those movies will not only be more costly, they might lose a lot of their charms because of it.So, first we need to look for the states among 7 sisters with the highest percentage of Bengali speaking population. Assam: 27.91% of people speak BengaliArunachal Pradesh: 9.4% of people speak BengaliMeghalaya: 8.04% of people speak BengaliNagaland: 3.26% of people speak BengaliManipur: 1.3% of people speak Bengali

These are the major states among the 7 sisters where Bengali speaking population is comparatively high. It is quite clear that Assam is the most potential market here as it has more Bengali speaking population than all the other states combined.The interactive media and film industry in India has a large domestic market to tap on. A field-study based research conducted by one of the authors in July-August 2013 on the diffusion of ICTs in Indias rural areas offers some interesting results in this regard. The study showed that television is a highly popular medium as a source of information in the Indian countryside, as it combines visual and audio effects and is less demanding of the cognitive skills of the user. Almost 35 per cent of Indias over 1 billion population is illiterate. There is great demand from this segment of Indian population for an innovative medium that facilitate communication and information sharing, while at the same time, being easily accessible to the masses via the television. Products of interactive media and film can fill this demand gap to a large extent; they can be great tools for education, entertainment and awareness among illiterates in Indias rural and urban areas.Social factors affecting the film industry:The Indian Film industry: Facing the manpower challengeDespite the impressive growth forecasts, the Indian Film and Gaming industry will account for less than two percent of the worldwide market in 2010. Obviously a much larger opportunity exists beyond what is currently being envisaged and the potential remains high. India can participate in a more significant way in the global Film market, provided the country has built up requisite manpower, with the relevant expertise, to fuel its growth. According to analysts, India has the potential to grow its Film industry to around US$ 1 billion by 2010, but will remain restricted to US$ 869 million on account of a looming demand-supply gap in the area of employable human resources. A similar situation exists in the gaming segment as well, which has the potential to achieve revenues of US$ 732 million by 2010, but is expected to touch only around US$ 424 million by that period, owing to the paucity of skilled manpower. The employment statistics for the Indian film and gaming industry during 2006 were as follows:Around 16,500 professionals were employed by the Indian Film industry during 2006.

TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF FILM INDUSTRY

While it is true that Indias film industry is growing at remarkable pace. In film feature films, for example, while Indian companies carry out the technological film work, character design, and storyboarding are done abroad. India is yet to become a successful player in concept creation, the high value-adding segment of the industry which remains a preserve of western firms.SkillsThe film industry is still young. Indian cinema is yet to make its mark on the global stage. The booming film outsourcing industry is constantly demanding new skills and fresh infusion of new talent into the industry. Need For technological training to employees in Bangladesh "There are no academic institutes like Bangladesh Institutes of Technology, Regional Engineering Colleges, Polytechnics, etc. The film sector will benefit greatly by giving encouragement to the community of traditional artists as much as to technically trained professionals. In other words, integration of the rural and urban talent will prove highly beneficial.
