A veteran star pinpoints why theater crowds are thinning. Actress Madhuri Dixit says rising ticket prices are making families budget carefully, choosing only certain films for the big screen. She notes that after work hours are too late for many people, leaving weekends as the main option. The convenience of streaming services offers a cheaper, easier alternative with movies available at home anytime.
Dixit stressed that good films still succeed in theaters, so the future is not entirely bleak. However, the combination of high costs, scheduling difficulties, and the comfort of home viewing presents a clear challenge. She believes improving the cinema experience itself could help bring audiences back.
