The Great Indian Screen Shift: How a Nation of Moviegoers Became a Nation of Scrollers

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 28: Picture this: a Friday night in a small Indian town, and the old single-screen theatre is…quiet. Not sold out. Just not what it used to be.

Instead, they’re spreading their time across regional cinema, niche documentaries, independent dramas, international television, catalog titles, and genre-specific content.
