'What is Balaji without Ekta (Kapoor), what is Dharma without Karan (Johar?)'

The consistently heavy downpour of films, shows, events, videos and whatnot is causing economic disruption.

Zee and Star, the two largest media companies in India, are undergoing some radical ownership changes. What could it mean? Vanita Kohli Khandekar attempts an answer.

In a competitive market, pricing is the management's business. The consumer has so many choices -- single screens, multiplexes, TV, online streaming or DVDs. Nothing forces him to go to a multiplex. Nor are films an essential commodity where prices have to be regulated, says Vanita Kohli Khandekar.

Harvard, age and experience have changed Ekta Kapoor in ways that will stand her in good stead as she attempts the biggest transformation Balaji Telefilms has seen.
