Fame Motion Pictures Ltd (Formerly Shringar Films Limited)
Background
In the value chain of film making, Production, Distribution and Exhibition are the three key segments, of which, the distributor is the key stake holder. We carry out distribution business through our subsidiary, Fame Motion Pictures Limited, one of the leading film distributors in India. Fame Motion Pictures Limited was founded in 1999 and it took over the business of Shringar Films which was founded in 1975, a partnership firm of the Promoters, with the objective of bringing in the highest quality of entertainment to Indian movie audience. Hence in a span of 29 years, we have established ourselves as a leading film distribution company.

In the past, we have distributed a number of successful movies such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Raja Hindustani, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Baazigar, Rangeela, Lagaan, Chalte Chalte and many more. We have also been pioneers in creating national success out of niche movies - a strategy which has redefined conventional distribution practices. Hyderabad Blues, Leela, Chachi 420, Bandit Queen, Chandni Bar, Chhota Chetan, are some of the appreciated films distributed by Shringar Films. Some of the foreign films distributed by us are Life is Beautiful and Baran (the Iranian film).

The success of our distribution business can be attributed to its sound business strategy and transparency in business dealings.

Growth Strategy
Going forward we propose to strengthen our position in distribution by:
  • Continue acquiring quality film product rights at reasonable prices for theatrical distribution
  • Follow the portfolio approach to mitigate the risk of possible product failure at the box office.
In future, we believe that maximum value will be created for entities who “own the customer” (through Exhibition) or “own the content” (through Rights Ownership). Our Exhibition business is the vehicle for the “own the customer” strategy. Similarly we propose to make the distribution business a vehicle for its “own the content” strategy.
