    What advantages does the company derive from its all India Distribution and Exhibition network?  
   
Mukta Arts Movies Distribution is one of the India’s largest film distributions, averaging 40 distributed films per year. Mukta Arts movie distribution provides transparency, real time access, comprehensive data capturing and a track record of ethical practices to all producers who are our clients. In addition, Mukta Arts movie distribution has a unique exhibition arrangement with the leading multiplex chain, whereby screen management and booking has been done by the company for a fee. This in turn provides great strength to the distribution business as best screen timings and theatres can be negotiated easily.

    Why has Mukta Arts Limited ventured into the VAS space with the acquisition of Coruscant Technology?  
   
Mukta Arts’ wealth of content required an excellent platform to distribute through new media like the mobile space. Coruscant Technology represented a perfect platform where technology content and strong network can allow our content repertoire to reach an audience on their personal mobile screens.

    Why has Mukta Arts ventured into regional films?  
   

Mukta Arts ventured into the regional space through its marathi film "Valu" which went on to be critically acclaimed winning several awards and proving a money spinner at the box office. The regional entertainment space is one that is growing rapidly and the company wants to be best positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. We are now further moving out in the regional space by producing a Bengali film with a noted film maker Rituporno Ghosh.

    How does Mukta Arts plan to monetize the talent created at WWI?  
   
Whistling Woods International is plugging a gap of trained talent in the industry and this will benefit the entire entertainment industry and not just Mukta Arts. We have engaged a number of the 1st graduate batch students and have begun work on the first production. Mukta Arts believes that the graduates Whistling Woods International produces will innovate the next generation of content across all mediums.

    How has the industry reacted to WWI’s graduating batches?
 
   
So far the response has been encouraging. Most of the large entertainment corporates have seen the value in the trained talent that Whistling Woods International produces and have actively participated in our internship program and career fairs. From the first batch alone almost 75% of the students outside of acting were absorbed with employment in most of the industries’ blue chip companies.
