Ranvir Shorey, a prominent figure in Indian independent cinema, has voiced his concerns regarding the current environment for small films in India. In a recent interview, he pointed out that independent films are struggling to gain traction in both theaters and on streaming platforms, as larger spectacle-driven films dominate the conversation. He specifically mentioned the success of 'Dhurandhar', a blockbuster film directed by Aditya Dhar, stating that he does not see how such successes can aid smaller films like his upcoming project, 'Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa'. Shorey noted that while indie films focus on character and cinematic excellence, the industry is increasingly mirroring the gatekeeping seen in theatrical releases. Despite the challenges, he remains hopeful that the evolution of the industry will eventually provide solutions for independent filmmakers. 'Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa', which features a star-studded cast including Vinay Pathak and Saurabh Shukla, is now streaming on ZEE5.
