One of the major infirmities of Indian cinema is its hackneyed plots, absurd and/or plagiarized storylines and poor scripting. Therefore in recent times scriptwriters, who were hitherto way down the pecking order in Bollywood as in Indian cinema generally, have risen in the estimation of producers, directors and star actors who call the shots in the world’s largest dreams factory. As a result, scriptwriting is emerging as an attractive suitable for the cinematic medium.
Although formal training in scriptwriting is not essential, a formal classroom or online course which puts the roles of scriptwriting in perspective will smooth your career path. The two institutions offering full-fledged script-writing courses are the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune and Whistling Woods International, Mumbai. Several film institutes including the Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute, Kolkata, include a screenwriting module in the film direction study programme.
In the flourishing Indian cinema and television industries there’s plenty of scope for talented scriptwriters. Employment opportunities galore are available with film studios, production companies, advertising agencies and film units of government departments.
