Agarwal innovated the concept of 'smart filmmaking' because technology has made everyone a filmmaker. This innovation led Agarwal to launch Popcorn Flicks; idea being, films and content should be a blend of
creativity, commercial viability, entertainment and salability. This led
us to create ground-breaking unconventional content since 2007. We believe that a film is considered successful only when it realizes
it's optimal potential. Feature films, television, shows, and webseries produced by
Popcorn Flicks won international acclaim
and fame, with screenings and streaming:
- Cinemas
- Legendary Cinemas like Village East Cinemas, New York, USA
- Commercial multiplexes like Silvercity, Dehradun, India
- Roku Channels
- TV channels - Sony, Zee, B4U, Doordarshan
- OTT's
Popcorn Flicks is India's
only production-house to produce films in a variety of budgets, formats,
and genres, ranging from guerrilla feature films to conventional
feature films and content. We adapt James Cameron's now famous quote on film-making.
Popcorn Flicks works under two verticals. Cinema For Cause vertical:
Covid-19 pandemic made Agarwal introspect and retrospect. He realized
the power of cinema to bring a positive change to the society. The
Impact-Mission films made are
- CovidGo - World's 1st covid vaccine film featuring real-life doctors
- Honey Kapoor Origins
- World's 1st Remote Filmed Hybrid feature film, also, Asia-Africa's
1st Mental Health Awareness feature film. The film is now part of "Honey
Kapoor" franchise.
The
impact and success of these films is that audiences from UK &
Australia wrote that they were motivated to take covid-vaccine after
watching Covidgo. Honey Kapoor Origins motivated many in the audiences to seek help from experts for their mental health issues.
69 Opposites Attract
