   The Craft Behind Blockbuster Films | Niren Bhatt |The Artists Podcast with Suchita

   One of the best episodes of The Artists Podcast is back — this time in WATCH MODE. What does it take to become a better screenwriter? How do you develop your craft, find your own process, and write stories that connect with millions? In this deeply insightful conversation, Niren Bhatt, the screenwriter behind blockbusters including Stree 2 (which crossed ₹400 crore at the box office), Bala, Munjya and Bhediya, takes us inside the mind and process of a working writer. This is an episode to return to, revisit and learn from. Whether you’re an aspiring screenwriter, an established writer, a filmmaker or simply someone interested in the art of storytelling, there is something here for you. IN THIS CONVERSATION, WE DISCUSS: Writing is a thinking process: How does a writer think, and how do you find your own creative process? The purpose of writing: Maslow’s hierarchy, self-actualisation and the search for creative fulfilment. From theatre to screenwriting: What playwriting taught Niren about dialogue, scenes and storytelling. Learning the craft: Syd Field, Robert McKee — and the advice Niren received from Gulzar Saab. The writing process: Research, procrastination and knowing when to stop preparing and start writing. The first draft to the 15th: Why Stree 2 went through multiple drafts, and why rewriting is central to the craft. Script literacy and bouncing boards: Who should read your script, and why the right feedback matters. Rejection and self-doubt: The realities of a writer’s life and the importance of a supportive creative collaborator. Market research and algorithms: When analysis helps — and when it can become a trap. The anatomy of genre: What successful genre films get right, and what writers can learn from them. Every writer has a different process. This conversation may help you refine yours — or discover it. WATCH THE FULL EPISODE on YouTube and Spotify. Listen on Apple Podcasts.
