Aatman Desai: The big secret is consistency and uniqueness

Aatman Desai: The big secret is consistency and uniqueness

BEING funny at school and getting inspired by Bollywood led Aatman Desai towards a career in comedy.

He has turned that ability to tell great jokes and make people laugh into becoming a successful online content creator, who regularly entertains more than 272,000 followers on Instagram with hilarious videos on relatable topics.


Eastern Eye caught the fast-rising online star to discuss his comedy, inspirations, future hopes, and secret to great content creation.

Where do the ideas for your hilarious videos come from?

Honestly, I can’t really pinpoint it because it can be anything and everything, but people actually enjoying my jokes and making me a part of their lives is what keeps me going.

What has been your favourite video?

I love all the ones I have created, but my personal favourite out of my videos would be the ‘chhoti bachchi ho kya’ trend one.

Did you imagine becoming so popular when you started?

I always wanted to be popular, so it was something I desired and worked towards. My journey and social media enabled that and it’s something I will be forever grateful for.

Has being funny ever helped you in real life?

Always! It becomes easier to socialise if my first few jokes land nicely. I love meeting new people and socialising. Being funny makes it more effortless to start and hold conversations.

Who is the funniest person you know?

The funniest person I know is my mom. She is really funny! I think that’s where I got my humour from!

Who is your own comedy hero?

I don’t really have one hero, but many funny people I know have inspired me in some way or the other. I learn and observe new things from each one of those people and try to incorporate that into my own jokes and humour as well.

What is the secret of great content creation online?

I think the biggest secret is consistency and having some kind of unique selling point. If you work hard towards it daily, it helps you improve and understand what you can change. Nowadays, there’s so many new creators, ideas, and so much content to consume. That is why you can’t be doing what everyone else is. You need to have something unique that is specific only to you and your content.

Do you keep an eye on what others do online and have a favourite content creator yourself?

I can’t name one favourite, but yes, I follow the work of as many content creators as possible. They are all unique and interesting in their own way, and I like following their content.

What are your future plans?

I want to expand my social media to multiple platforms, grow personally and professionally as a creator, and grab as many opportunities as possible on the way.

Who would you love to work with?

Shahid Kapoor is someone I have always admired and been inspired by. I would love to work with him someday and see his process and way of working.

What inspires you?

As mentioned earlier, people genuinely connecting to my content and making me a part of their lives is what keeps me going.

'Guide' at 60: The timeless journey of Bollywood’s boldest classic

ASJAD NAZIR

THE most common description of the 1965 classic Guide across the decades is that it was way ahead of its time, and that still holds true today. The marvellously multi-layered movie, based on the best-selling novel The Guide, tackled a range of themes, including adultery, love, betrayal, heartbreak, and a painful path towards redemption.

India’s official entry for the Oscars revolved around a stifled woman walking out of an unhappy marriage and having a live-in relationship with another man, only to be betrayed again after he is imprisoned. The man in question embarks on an unexpected journey towards spiritual redemption.

Female-led blockbusters: A global shift in cinema's power dynamics

For decades, Hollywood clung to the idea that only male-led blockbusters could guarantee success. But that myth is rapidly crumbling. From Barbie and Wonder Woman to Gangubai Kathiawadi and Hi, Mom, female-led films are not just smashing box office records but also becoming cinematic game-changers. Audiences worldwide are embracing powerful female protagonists, proving over and over again that women aren’t just side characters in cinema’s biggest spectacles: they’re the main event.

She-roes of the box office

One of the biggest and visible examples of this shift came in 2023 with Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie. The film became a cultural phenomenon, grossing over $1.4 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of the year. Beyond its box office dominance, Barbie challenged stereotypes, delivering a witty yet poignant critique of gender roles while celebrating female empowerment.


Superhero films, again a traditionally male-dominated genre, have also seen a slow yet massive transformation. Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins, was a massive hit, earning $822 million globally. It proved that a female-led superhero film could be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, paving the way for movies like Captain Marvel, which grossed $1.1 billion, and Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson, which dominated streaming and theatrical revenues.

Bollywood's leading ladies turned box office powerhouses

The change isn’t just happening in Hollywood. Bollywood and Mollywood industries have seen a surge in successful female-led films. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi , starring Alia Bhatt, was a game-changer. Based on a real-life story, the film showcased a woman’s rise to power in a male-dominated world and earned ₹209 crore ($25 million) globally again proving that audiences are eager for narratives centred on strong female protagonists.


Similarly, Darlings, a dark comedy starring Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah, tackled the sensitive issue of domestic violence while performing well on Netflix. The film was praised for its unique and contemporary storytelling and strong female performances. Other Bollywood successes include Vidya Balan’s Kahaani, Taapsee Pannu’s Thappad, and Kangana Ranaut’s Queen, all proving that female-led narratives did resonate with audiences.

Box Office triumphs of women in malayalam cinema

The Malayalam film industry, known for its realistic storytelling, has also embraced strong female leads in recent years. Films like The Great Indian Kitchen challenged deep-rooted patriarchal norms through its raw portrayal of domestic expectations placed on women. The movie, starring Nimisha Sajayan, received international acclaim for its bold narrative.


Uyare, starring Parvathy Thiruvothu, brought to light the inspiring story of an acid attack survivor who fought against all odds to reclaim her dreams. Similarly, 22 Female Kottayam became a landmark film, showcasing a woman’s journey of revenge against those who wronged her. Additionally, the recent releases like Ullozhuku and Attam, which even bagged the national award continue this trend by bringing out complex female characters and their emotional journeys. These films are not just critically successful but also commercially viable, proving that audiences in Kerala and across the globe, thanks to OTT platforms, are open to powerful, female-driven narratives.

Global blockbusters: Women leading the way

Beyond Hollywood and Bollywood, several international films have demonstrated the power of female leads. In China, Hi, Mom, directed by and starring Jia Ling, became one of the highest-grossing films of all time, earning over $850 million. The film, which blends comedy with deep emotional storytelling, resonated with audiences worldwide.

In South Korea, Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 became a landmark feminist film, sparking discussions about gender inequality in Korean society. Starring Jung Yu-mi, the movie adapted a bestselling novel and became a major box office success, earning over $36 million.

French cinema has also seen powerful female-led films gaining international acclaim, such as Portrait of a Lady on Fire, directed by Céline Sciamma. Though not a blockbuster in terms of earnings, its impact on global audiences and critics was immense, proving that female-centric storytelling can be deeply influential.


But why are female-led films thriving all of a sudden?

  • Audience Demand: Viewers today want diverse and inclusive storytelling. Female audiences, long underserved in blockbuster cinema, are now a driving force at the box office.
  • Streaming Boom: Platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ have provided opportunities for unconventional female-led stories that might not have been greenlit in traditional cinema.
  • Industry Support: More women are taking leadership roles in filmmaking. Directors like Greta Gerwig, Chloé Zhao, Payal Kapadia and Patty Jenkins among many others are reshaping the industry with their unique and fresh perspectives.
  • Cultural Conversations: The #MeToo movement increased awareness of gender representation in media and pushed the industry to embrace strong female narratives.
The future is female : Celebrating women on screen

The success of these films is not just a trend—it’s a shift in the industry. Projects like Deadpool & Wolverine, Moana 2, Jee Le Zaraa and many more show that female-driven stories are here to stay.

From Hollywood to Bollywood and beyond, female-led blockbusters are proving their staying power. They are not just breaking box office records; they are breaking barriers and redefining what a blockbuster can be. As more studios invest in these narratives, audiences can look forward to a future where women continue to dominate the big screen—not just as characters, but as storytellers shaping cinema’s next era.
