With its Rs
15-crore haul worldwide on Monday, Lokah Chapter 1 gone up six spots in the
list of highest-grossing Malayalam films, surpassing the lifetime collection of
hits like Naslen's Alappuzha Gymkhana ( Rs 68 crore), Soubin Shahir's Romancham
( Rs 70 crore), Mammootty's Turbo ( Rs 73 crore), and Nivin Pauly-Sai Pallavi's
all-time blockbuster Premam ( Rs 73 crore).
With Lokah
continuing its impressive run and film lovers showing no signs of slowing down,
the film is set to highlight new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema’s box office
presence worldwide.
Indian Film
and Television Producers Council (IFTPC) which represents over 375 of India’s
top Producers,
announced on Monday that it is preparing to take legal action against
certain Social Media
Influencers who allegedly engage in extortion. According to the IFTPC, there is an
“alarming trend” of some influencers using predatory tactics. They allege that
these individuals approach producers with a demand for payment. If the
producers refuse to pay up, the influencers then threaten to release “malicious
and disparaging” reviews and reaction videos.
The council
stated that this goes beyond just a bad review. These are allegedly “targeted
campaigns designed to deliberately sabotage a project’s reception and
commercial viability.” It’s a clear threat to a film’s success even before it
has a chance to win over the audience.
‘Criticism
Is Welcome, Extortion Is Not’
The IFTPC
was very clear in its statement that it is not against film criticism. The
council respects the “freedom of speech” and welcomes “genuine, constructive
criticism” from reviewers and the public.
However,
they have drawn a firm line between honest opinions and what they are calling
“extortionate practices.” The council believes these acts by “unscrupulous
individuals” are a “grave threat to the creative and economic health of the
Indian film and entertainment industry,” and they have decided that enough is
enough.
The council
has announced that it is seeking opinions from “top-tier legal counsels” to
figure out the best way to tackle this issue. They are exploring all possible
legal options under both civil and criminal law to bring a “swift and decisive
end” to these alleged practices.
