Inspirational, Feel-good, Tearjerker Drama Movie.
Budget: £2.5M
A generation defining-true story of one man’s struggle for business success and cultural acceptance in his adoptive homeland. A story that bridges the gap between east and west, breaking stereotypes and challenging prejudices both about and within British society.
The Entrepreneur is an inspirational, family drama, love story, tearjerker and a feel-good movie.
The film tells the story of Pratik born in small town India to a loving family but one of humble means. However he is a dreamer who never thinks of himself as disadvantaged. This pride and optimism is inspired by his mother who was suppressed by Indian traditional/societal customs, who teaches him the ways of her world and encourages him to find his own destiny.
Despite his restrictive origins, whether it’s his passion for movies, desire to study overseas or launching new ventures, Pratik inspires people with his childlike optimism. He refuses to accept the world that is handed to him. Instead he takes the initiative to change it.

However he still must experience a life fraught with other people’s unkindness, and faces many obstacles on his path to success and self-fulfilment. Undeterred Pratik yearns to learn all about the ways of the world and embarks on a mission to smash all the old Indian stereotypes. to prove his first love interest and father whom he disappointed after failing on his exceptions about Pratik's career plans.
Armed with only one year UK visa, £1000, and good intentions, Pratik must concede Entrepreneurial success is a race against time with further 9 years of Visa and life uncertainty to settle in the UK with no business background and no financial support. This societal outsider makes us see the full spectrum of the entrepreneurial circumstance: Homeless twice, starved of food and living secretly on the University Campus. The naivety of youth can only shield you from so much, caught between the man he is and the man he is trying to become, an identity crisis ensues. A foreign situation in foreign lands, investor sentiment he does not understand and cultural anomalies he can not compute. A dream is derailed by an attempt on his own life.
At this lowest point where romance, friendships, and business relations are seemingly stretched to breaking point Pratik finds his love of film never dies, it is the constant, the fire in his belly and what keep his sky blue.
Pratik starts to realise that maybe his motivation of making the world a better place and his passion for film might be the winning combination he has been striving for all this time.
The Entrepreneur shows both the beauty and the s truggle when someone in the East operates in the West. It offers a perceptive on the immigrant experience inviting many of us who will never experience these struggles to be immersed in a story that is familiar to many people. Pratik is someone we can all relate to, someone we can see our selves in. He wants what we all want struggles with the same things we all struggle with. This film will give those unfamiliar a glimpse into an unfamiliar world. A story that will broaden per spectives presenting an empathetic view into this human life and experience. As well as inspiring The Entrepreneur will ask us to question the kind of society we live in and our own per sonal role in it screation
