We need 10,000 more cinema halls in the country: Salman Khan

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has said there is a need for more theatres in the country, especially on the outskirts of cities where people don’t get to watch movies because theatres are way too far to travel.

“There are very few cinema halls in India and we can still do another ten thousand plus cinema halls in this country. In the main city, with all the real estate price and other things, I think they will rather make a office. So, whatever cinema theatres has to be built, they will have to be built on the outskirts and that is where they should be built actually” Salman said.

The reason, Salman said, was because small places in the city don’t have theatres

“Because lots of small places in the cities they don’t have any theatres” the actor added.

India has one of the lowest cinema screens per capita. The United States of America has nearly 6 times more screens, even though India has 4 times more population. China too has significantly higher number screens.

  • u r right but people from small cities are not so
    rich that they can buy a ticket priced 100,150,200,

  • I agree with Salman that we need more cinemas.
    Although those cinemas need audience as well. I will give a simple example of city in state of MP. There were two single screen till 2014, both were of below average quality. In 2015 a multiplex got opened but except for event films (starring Salman, SRK, Aamir, Hrithik and few Akki films) there is no audience. Hence its very difficult for theatre owner to break even forget profit.

    Except for holiday season we never face capacity issue.
    Its a classic case of Demand vs Supply. You cannot increase demand just by increasing supply. Both subject require equal attention.

  • lallu khan and u need atleast 10000 days in jail so tat ur crimes and evil things done by neutralise to some extent u r the second name to terrorism and violences .. u do not need 10000 cinemas , rather u are more suitable to 10-000 slaps on ur pathetic face and 10000 slaps on ur pathetic ass …. u r finished now along with other cheap khans giving way to HRITHIK ROSHAN FOR ATLEAST 25 YRS TO RULE BOX OFFICE LIKE NEVER BEFORE ,. SOME PLZ SEND THIS MESSAGE TO LALLU KHANN …..

  • Correct salman sir, we need more teaters.if that happens 1000 Crore is cakewalk for an universally acclaimed movie.

  • @Tiger the real Chuhe.. What a crap logic mahn…!!

    Total disasters :-
    1. SRK = 0
    2. Salman = 3
    3. Aamir = 3
    4. Hrithik = 0

    Total succes ratio :-
    1. SRK = 55.5 %
    2. Salman = 45 %
    3. Aamir = 48.7 %
    4. Hrithik = 50 %

    According to this logic ur non actor lallu & Fan less Aamir was bellow than hrithik…And Also ur king of disaster non Actor lallu was given highest Record flops (29)… shame shame
    Doob Marne wali Sharam ki rath….

    My Reply to HIM ….
    My Dear Friend said right but very few

    little light on your excuses
    AITRAAZ … Clash with Veer Zaara & Mugh-e-Azam colour on D=Diwali & film is a hit not flop
    JAANEMAN … Clash with Don on D=Diwali not E=Eid .. Still does well at BO with Don
    BLUE … Clash with Mr & Ms Khanna & All The Best directed by Rohit Shetty on D=Diwali .. ATB was successful & Rest was Disasters
    ACTION REPLAYY … Clash with Golmaal 3 on D=Diwali still does best at BO
    TMK … Release on X=Xmas does better at BO. it’s not a flop

    BOSS was Non EDX release

    KRRISH3 … with Biggest Darkest Pre – Diwali Periods i.e First 3 Days Hrithik’s film Krrish3 earned244 Cr emerged as 2nd Highest Grossing Film Of The Year after Dhoom3. If that 3 bad days was not there then Krrish3 would emerge as Highest Grossing Film Of The Year

    BAJIRAO MASTANI … A smallstar starrer Clash with Biggest film of the year Dilwale starring srk on X=Xmas. Results .. Bajirao earned 186 Cr if clash was not there then Bajirao would earn 325 Cr & emerge with Highest Grossing Film Of The Year

    So keep your Gyan to yourself & don’t give excuses or wrong information or unofficial figures i.e BOI the unofficialsite of Hindi Cinema & no one trusts any unofficial figures from any sites like BOI etc now and now people wait for official figures from Film team directly & they only trust that

    MY FULL NAME ..
    EDX POWER, NOT KHANS ?
    HRITHIK ROSHAN ? POWERFUL

  • @chakki fan:
    Sachin has highest no of centuries and man of the match award in the world. In the same way, Bhai has highest no of blockbusters and highest grosser of the year in Bollywood history. Hence, Bhai is the Tendulkar of Bollywood. Maybe the leap year blockbuster giving Overactor is the Ashok dinda or srisanth of Bollywood…!!!

    Till the time Tendulkar played only Sehwag was ahead of him and that too it was a time when Tendulkar was going through one of the worst form of his career and he played only 21 matches after hitting 200 and 10 after the world cup. By the way Tendulkar is considered God of Cricket in India bcoz he has the most number of records of cricket history. How many records SRK have?

    Finally Cricket and Acting are two different things. You can’t compare an actor to a sportsperson for the sake of superiority of your idol.

  • We Already Have 10000 Plus Screens In India And Hardly Sells 110cr Tickets In An Year. There Is Huge Myth That Bollywood Sells More Ticket Than Hollywood As USA Last Year Had Around 145cr TIckets Sold.
    So There No Point Having More Screens As Films Hardly Survive 2 Weeks At Box Office Releasing 2500 Screens.

  • @fasal loongi:
    Hahaha….You must be living in either paglapur or bakrapur where your Overactor does not have a disaster. In India he gave yeh lamhe judai ke, the biggest disaster ever made in Bollywood history.

    Total ATBB…
    Bhai- 4
    Overactor- 3

    Blockbusters…
    Bhai- 12
    Overactor- 8

    HGOTY….
    Bhai- 9
    Overactoror- only 4.

    HGOTD…
    Bhai- 2
    Overactor- ZERO….LOL.

    Highest worldwide:
    Bhai- 630cr.
    Overactor- 420cr.

    Highest domestic:
    Bhai- 321cr.
    Overactor- only 227cr.

    Highest overseas:
    Bhai- 29 million dollars.
    Overactor: 27 million dollars.

    Average collections per movie:
    Bhai- 36.3cr.
    Overactor- 36cr.

    Bhai is miles ahead of the Overactor in every department (except buying awards and doing MUJRA in wedding parties)…!!!

I’ve struggled with insomnia looking for years, and after trying CBD like because of the from the word go mores, I lastly experienced a loaded night of restful sleep. It was like a weight had been lifted off the mark my shoulders. The calming effects were calm after all sage, allowing me to inclination slow naturally without sympathies woozy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime anxiety, which was an unexpected but receive bonus. The cultivation was a fraction rough, but nothing intolerable. Comprehensive, CBD has been a game-changer quest of my siesta and uneasiness issues, and I’m appreciative to procure discovered its benefits.
