A film distribution company that specialises in Indian regional language films has plunged into administration. Hamsini Entertainment Ltd was incorporated in 2016 and has a principal trading address in the Hythe area of Colchester.

The company's website isn't accessible currently, but it describes itself on its LinkedIn profile as a "leading international delivery partner for Indian Film Distribution, Music Concert Production & Promotion, and a Line Production Company based in the UK & US".

"We hold the merit of distributing high-calibre Indian Films, along with their dubbed versions and subtitle content worldwide, providing the best customer experience," it adds.

The firm says it functions "through a strong network of partners across India, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Europe, the Middle East & Africa".

"We also produced a music album and a movie titled 'Soppana Sundari' featuring actress Aishwarya Rajesh in 2023."

In a notice shared on The Gazette this week, it was announced that administrators had been appointed to the company in the High Court's Business & Property Court.

Mustafa Abdulali and Neil Dingley, both of insolvency practitioners Moore Recovery Limited, will serve as joint administrators.

They were appointed on Tuesday, March 10, according to the notice. The profile suggests the company has 11 to 50 employees.

It's not yet clear what led to the company entering administration. Express.co.uk has reached out to Moore Recovery for more information.

Companies typically go into administration when they're in debt and unable to pay the money they owe.

Administration can mean the company does not have to pay all its debts in full - but the company can still be wound up if it isn't rescued.

Some companies arrange the sale of their business and assets as part of what's known as a pre-packaged or pre-pack deal before formally entering administration.

After insolvency practitioners take control, the sale completes soon after, allowing firms to continue operating under new ownership without facing significant disruption, Summit Law LLP explains.
