While the line between commercial and and `offbeat` films has almost vanished and the conversation around the new-age cinematic sensibility has changed in recent times with the new avenues of releasing films and web series, the revolution of `offbeat` cinema started in India with the introduction to multiplexes and films that were made for `multiplex audiences`. Films like `Pyaar Ke Side Effects`, `Khosla Ka Ghosla`, `Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd`, `Bheja Fry`, `Mithya`, to `Titli`, `A Death In The Gunj` - changed a certain sensibility among the audience as well as among the producers to invest in stories that are experimental and entertaining by nature. One of the common factors in all these films is - actor Ranvir Shorey.
Asked about how he looks at the change, Ranvir told IANS: "I think indie cinema works like the R&D department for the business of cinema. You see, in mainstream commercial films, there is huge money involved so it is naturally a profit-making business. And business follows a formula. "Going out of formula with a huge budget and if the film fails, it becomes too much of a risk to take for the production house. There come indie films. These are small budget films with a high concept and if we continued to make these films, with high conviction and a small budget and manage to get success, the sensibility is bound to change."
