Hmmm… the film got so many shows, precisely because the producer had clout. I think we had fewer shows for Masaan 😒
Each screen, each KDM costs money. Each show costs money. Exhibitors weigh that against literally the number of ppl in the hall that buy samosas.
And fewer ppl go because the ticket prices are so high…single screens with affordable pricing have vanished over time.
The Producer sits with losses for the film LONG after the awards are over won, actors gain markets and credibility and every one moves on.
So what’s killing independent films ?
- exorbitant ticket prices
- the P and A bottleneck.
- fewer screens
- monopoly of a couple of ppl on the Screens.
