Single screens go dark across South India amid declining footfalls
Mint Chennai
|April 21, 2026
Southern India’s formidable movie-going culture is facing a quiet reset.
South India's cinema screen count declined 1% in 2025, even as India's overall cinemas witnessed 3% growth.
Even as the rest of the country added more cinema screens in 2025, the southern states saw a marginal decline, with single-screen theatres bearing the brunt amid tepid box office trends and rising real estate pressures.
A recent Ficci-EY report shows screen count in the southern region fell 1% year-on-year, compared with 3% growth across India. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka together lost over 100 screens, as ageing standalone theatres struggled with volatile footfalls, rising costs and competition from OTT platforms.
