India is one of the highest entertainment tax collecting countries in the world. Although it is a state matter, a new policy can be brought in the upcoming budget to regulate the entertainment tax on movie tickets. If this happens, movie tickets will become cheaper and the burden of the general public will also be reduced.
Budget impact on OTT
On the other hand, talking about the OTT platform, the picture is not clearly visible about it. It is not yet clear whether any announcement will be made in the Union Budget on the price of OTT subscription or not. At present, private companies themselves decide the price of OTT subscription for different modes and formats. The growing popularity of the OTT platform has also affected the movie theater industry.
Movie Theater vs OTT Platform
If the prices of movie tickets are cheap, then more and more people would like to watch movies on the big screen only. In such a situation, OTT platforms can also reduce the subscription price to compete with movie theaters.
