‘The world wants to see how India lives, moves & dances' Guneet Monga
1 2 When The Elephant Whisperers made history at the Oscars 2023, it wasn't just a proud moment for Guneet Monga — it was a milestone for Indian storytelling. Sharing the spotlight with Naatu Naatu's big win that same night, Guneet remembers being awed by the impact of Telugu cinema on the global stage. In a chat with Hyderabad Times, the producer, who was in town for the 'Golden Lens' symposium hosted by YFLO, opened up about her journey, the growing resonance of local stories, and her admiration for Tollywood. 'I'm a big fan and would love to produce a Telugu film someday, if the stars align,' she said. 'I'm always thinking about how I can add value to a project, and if there's a meaningful way to contribute, I'd be more than happy to be involved. ' 'RRR is one of the best examples of how local stories resonate globally' For Guneet, the success of Indian films on the world stage boils down to authenticity. 'RRR is one of the best examples of how a deeply local story can have global resonance. Whether it's Baahubali or RRR, our culture, language, and music captivate audiences around the world.' It's not just the big, grand spectacles that travel well. Films like The Lunchbox, Masaan, and The Elephant Whisperers also struck a chord globally because they're rooted, real, and unmistakably Indian, she reckons. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think! Villa for sale in Dubai | Search Ads Learn More Undo 'These are the stories the world wants. People may not travel here, but they're deeply curious about India, our culture, our people, and even our dances. ' 'My memories of Hyderabad are all about great food and vibrant places' Guneet finds something enchanting about Hyderabad every time she visits. 'My memories of Hyderabad are all about great food and vibrant places. And what really fascinates me is the number of lehenga stores! I always find myself looking at those big wedding wear storefronts, they're everywhere.' There's one Hyderabad staple she's looking to discover more of though. 'A really good biryani! I don't have a go-to spot yet, but I'd love to try one. ' 'Many films have left an impact on me' Whether it's the timeless charm of Bollywood or the quiet brilliance of international indies, Guneet draws inspiration from across the spectrum. 'My first memory of cinema was watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. I was completely obsessed with the love story and the romance,' she recalls, adding, 'And then I remember watching Boyhood on a flight, it completely blew my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about how someone could film for so many years (the film was shot across 12 years from 2002–2013) and piece it together. That kind of ambitious storytelling inspires me.' 'Portrayal of women is something I deeply care about' Known for championing strong women-centric narratives, Guneet believes the strength of a woman's portrayal lies in thoughtful writing, not just lead roles. 'One of the films I'm proud to have produced is Soorarai Pottru. Though it was Suriya sir's film, Aparna Balamurali's character sparked meaningful conversation,' she says, adding, 'In The Elephant Whisperers, Bellie stood out so beautifully, just like Huma Qureshi did in Gangs of Wasseypur.' For her, what matters most is depth. 'Even submissive characters must have redemption. The portrayal of women is something I deeply care about as a producer.' 'I fall in love with scripts that move or challenge me' Reflecting on her journey post-Oscar, Guneet said the recognition has opened doors and pushed her to dream bigger. 'It expanded what's possible for me as a filmmaker,' she said. But for her, it's never about chasing a trend. 'I fall in love with scripts that move or challenge me,' she added. Among the stories she's hoping to bring to the screen someday is a full-fledged female-led action film. 'I think we're ready for that, and I'd love to be part of making it happen. ' 'We're building a space for women in cinema to connect, be heard & create change' At the 'Golden Lens' symposium hosted by YFLO, Guneet struck a chord with an audience of over 200 with a nearly two-hour-long conversation as candidly she spoke about the highs and heartbreaks of her journey. 'Life gave me 10 'Nos' before a single 'Yes', but I chose to celebrate every 'No.' Because each one took me a step closer,' she said, drawing applause. She also spoke passionately about the Women in Film – India Chapter, part of the global WIF network. 'Less than 10% of Indian film directors are women. That reality deeply concerns me,' she said, adding, 'Through this chapter, we want to build a space where women in cinema can connect, be heard, and create lasting change.' -Shreya Varanasi

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collections: Pawan Kalyan starrer declared dead on Friday, moved a finger on Sunday
Hari Hara Veera Mallu pulled off a mild surprise over the weekend, as the film managed to pick up some collections in Andhra Pradesh. The Pawan Kalyan starrer grossed approximately Rs. 83.50 crore in India over its four-day opening weekend. Overseas, the film added another USD 1.60 million (Rs. 13.50 crore), pushing its worldwide total to Rs. 97 crore. After crashing nearly 80 per cent on Friday, the expectation was for Hari Hara Veera Mallu to continue free-falling. However, the film showed signs of stability on Saturday and then pulled off a surprising 60 per cent growth on Sunday in Andhra Pradesh. Even Telangana and Karnataka contributed decently, when they too could have completely collapsed. Of course, the weekend pickings don't change anything; the film was left for dead on Friday, but it managed to claw back some ground. It will now go over Rs. 100 crore worldwide in a day or two, which seemed far-fetched two days ago. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Hari Hara Veera Mallu in India are as follows: Hari Hara Veera Mallu is yet another box office turkey delivered by Pawan Kalyan, who is arguably the biggest star in the Telugu states but hasn't delivered a box office winner in more than a decade. There was a Bheemla Nayak, which did decently well, but was unlucky to release in the circumstances it did and ended up from being a success. The film is also a setback for the Telugu film industry, which is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. The last year was also a bad one in general, but there were four major hits spread across the year. This year has offered nothing. The Territorial Breakdown for Hari Hara Veera Mallu is as follows:
