| contents | The paper offers a comprehensive analysis of social networks among movie actors and directors in the film industry. Utilizing data from IMDb and Netflix, we leverage Python and NetworkX to uncover valuable insights into the movie industry's intricate web of collaborations. Key findings include identifying the top actors and directors in the OTT sector, tracking the rise of movies on OTT platforms, and analyzing centrality measures for actors. We also explore the hidden patterns within the movie data, unveiling the shortest paths between actors and predicting future collaborations. Cluster analysis categorizes movies based on various criteria, revealing the most insular and liberal clusters and identifying crossover actors bridging different segments of the industry. The study highlights that actors predominantly collaborate within language groups, transcending national boundaries. We investigate the degree of isolation of Bollywood from global cinema and identify actors working across world clusters. The project provides valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the film industry and the impact of OTT platforms, benefiting industry professionals, scholars, and enthusiasts. |
