The indian film industry is significantly impacted by
online piracy. A study undertaken by Motion Picture
Distributors Association (MPDAI) has put India among the
top ten countries in the world, where online piracy is at its
peak.
In India, counterfeiting and piracy costs the
entertainment industry US$ 4 billion and losses of
approximately 800,000 jobs annualy.
12. Entertainment
A crisis plaguing the industry is the distortionary rate
of entertainment tax within states in India.
For instance, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the tax rate is
low. However, this has not been the case with the rest of the
states in India.
13. Content Regulation
A long-standing debate continues amongst the
industry members on regulation of content . Some of the
issues that need to be addressed in this sphere include:
• Should there be a content regulator or
should the industry be allowed
self-regulation under a broad framework?
14. Content
One of the problem is that younger generation
sometimes find the stories a bit predictable, and get bored
of similar tales.
15. Opportunities
The Indian film industry is the largest film industry in the world
in terms of no. of films produced and tickets sold each year
expecting growth will be continued in coming years.
The increasing interest of global investors in this sector.
The media penetration is poor for the poorer sections of the
society, offering opportunities of expansion in this area.
Rise in viewership and advertisement expenditure.
16. Threats
Piracy, violation of intellectual property rights poses a
major threat to media and entertainment concerns.
Rapid innovation in technological sector.
Increased competition with other entertainment sector like
IPL, affect the occupancy rate in theatre.
