News India Live, Digital Desk: Superstar Aamir Khan has sparked a debate by pointing towards a major challenge facing the Indian film industry. Aamir believes that there is no shortage of talent in India, but there is a shortage of ‘screen’. Giving the example of China, he said that if India has to rule the global box office, then we will have to drastically increase the number of our cinemas.
China vs India: The screen figure that will surprise you
Aamir Khan compared the cinematic infrastructure of India and China during an interview. He told that where in China almost 80,000 There are more than 100 screens, whereas in India this figure is only 10,000 to 12,000 Is confined to around.
Aamir said, “China has gone far ahead of us because they have space to release films. We still have a huge shortage of screens here, which puts a limit on the earnings of films.”
‘Dhurandhar’ and the dream of 15,000 screens
Giving the example of his upcoming ambitious film, Aamir Khan said that if the number of screens increases in India, then all the earning records can be broken. Sharing a hypothetical situation, he said: “Imagine if tomorrow one of our big films, like ‘Dhurandhar’, is released in India. 15,000 screens But if it is released, where will the box office collection reach? We can also leave the Chinese market behind.”
Aamir’s master plan: cinema to reach small towns
Mr. Perfectionist not only pointed out the problem but also suggested solutions. He said that the real potential is not hidden in metro cities, but in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Unless cinema watching becomes affordable and accessible to the middle and lower-middle class, Indian films will not be able to touch the domestic figure of Rs 2000-3000 crore.
The business that Indian films like ‘Dangal’ did in China proves that the story has power, it just needs enough ‘screens’ to show it.
