How Hollywood alienated a big chunk of Indian moviegoers in 2024

With a 17% dip in box office, 2024 marked one of Hollywood's weakest years in India in the past decade

- Lata Jha

Hollywood films commanded a big premium at Indian box office in 2024, with average ticket prices soaring to ₹245, significantly outpacing local language cinema, said the latest Ficci-EY media and entertainment report.

However, theatre owners are pushing back against this high-pricing strategy, warning that it is discouraging footfall, particularly in small towns, contributing to one of Hollywood's weakest box-office performances in the country in nearly a decade.

The average Hollywood ticket price of ₹245 towered over the all-India average of ₹134 and handily beat local languages like Hindi (₹203), the report said.

Theatre owners emphasize that despite dubbing efforts, Hollywood's insistence on high ticket prices in India is alienating a significant portion of the movie-going population at a time when fewer films are achieving commercial success.

Consider use of the computer within American households, where the speed of adoption slowed in the late 1980s. This was a mere blip before the 1990s, when they invaded American homes.

I am an NRI living in Dubai and have investments in Indian listed stocks. One of the companies I invested in, did a buyback in March, on which Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) was deducted. At that time, I was advised by a friend that I could claim a refund of TDS at the time of filing my tax return due to the benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
