Covid 19 has affected Film business too; but, it’s time to fight this new enemy
We have seen how the Covid 19 fear saw affecting the stock market not only in India but different parts of the world. With closure of malls and cinema halls, it has affected the business of film industry too. This week with the studio and outdoor shootings also coming to halt, the television serials and the workers depending on it on daily wages basis have also suffered. But, thanks to Prime Minister of India, for making an announcement yesterday to all the employers not to stop the wages of daily wage workers, due to this part shut down. It’ time to fight this big enemy with the name of COVID-19.
Big gainers are the Web series which have just been released . At least the home viewers who are required to stay at home due to fear of COVID-19 spread, will be watching these web series. Television entertainment channels will start playing some past episodes or films. But, the big gainers will be the news channels. If this situation continues beyond 31st March, if the citizens don’t observe proper care, the film industry will have to think of some alternatives, such as online release of their films, which are ready for release. Instead of suffering losses , it is better to earn something by allowing home viewers to watch their films against payment of charges online.
We only pray that the situation improves as we in India have always overcome all such difficulties. Let us not forget that the coming month of April is the time of growth and moving forward in new and positive ways. With psychic energy in abundance, it is an ideal month to start meditating for the purpose of healthier living and raising consciousness. Because the ‘show must go on’.
