These are the Bollywood movies based on casting couch
For past few years, casting couch has been a hot topic for discussion in Bollywood. Someone performed topless on the road against casting couch, so someone raised their voice on Twitter. After the statement of choreographer Saroj Khan, Congress leader Renuka Chowdhary also expressed his opinion on this. Even before this, successful actress like Kangana Ranaut has also raised this issue. Instead of getting accused of casting couch, Bollywood has made many movies on this issue. Today we are going to tell you about movies which were made on Casting Couch.
Fashion
Madhur Bhandarkar tried to show the casting couch very closely in the modeling world by his movie ‘Fashion’. This was released in 2008 which brought the black truth of the modeling world. Priyanka Chopra was seen in the lead role in the film, while Kangana Ranaut and Mugdha Godse were seen playing side roles. Critics praised its screenplay, cinematography, music, direction and performances. This movie was superhit at the box office.
Heroine (2012)
Just like his film ‘Fashion’, Madhur Bhandarkar made another masterpiece film ‘Heroine’ which showed that how girls in the bollywood industry are dying to become an actress and going beyond the limits to maintain the position. Heroine was based on existence of casting couch in Bollywood. It clearly showed how actresses have to compromise to get lead roles in big budget movies.
Corporate (2006)
Bipasha Basu played the main character in the film Corporate. This film was released in 2006 which showed that how people use each other in the corporate world. This movie clarified that how women need to compromise if they want a reputate position in the society.
Inkar (2013)
The issue of sexual abuse was raised in Arjun Rampal and Chitrangada Singh’s ‘Inkar’. Sudhir Mishra had chosen a good subject for the film. This movie focused on the topic of sexual exploitation. This movie put light on the existence of casting couch in the corporate world.
Calendar Girls (2015)
Madhubar Bhandarkar, who directed films like Chandni Bar, Page 3, Fashion, Heroine, also tried to show Casting Couch in the film ‘Calendar Girls’. The movie ‘Calendar Girls’ is the story of five such models that belonged to the different cities and met each other in the bikini talent hunt. This movie showcased that how small town girls are an easy way to target and how they are exploited on the name of talent hunt contests.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
