dont know if this is true. i think multiplexes have brought back malayalis to the theaters. but bhagat does make a good point. i wouldnt really venture out for a movie on a weekend. malls are too crowded. and the entertainment alternatives would only increase in the future thanks to smartphones and other devices.

The poor infrastructure in cities that makes getting to a theatre a harrowing, pot-hole filled experience where one is stuck in traffic jams, also hinders ticket sales. It’s simpler to just stream content directly on your phone or TV.
Of course, some of the blame lies with Bollywood as well. There’s been little cost evolution with advancing technology. Films are still shot expensively, using giant cameras and light setups. Stars, even those who are not attracting audiences, charge way more than they bring in. Many younger actors have entourages on set that cost several lakhs per day.
As a result, a shoot day in Mumbai could easily cost Rs 20 lakh. A film with an average budget may need 80 such days! Compare this to a stand up comic video you liked on Facebook, which was probably shot for a few lakhs at the most. Today, even inexpensive cellphones offer 4K resolution recording capability.
