独立印度电影难以到达剧院, 因为观众不愿付钱, 威胁他们的生存, Independent Indian films struggle to reach theaters due to low audience willingness to pay, threatening their survival despite streaming access.

在第十四届Dharamshala国际电影节上, 制片人Kiran Rao对独立印度影片的戏剧性发行斗争表示关切, At the 14th Dharamshala International Film Festival, filmmaker Kiran Rao voiced concerns about the struggle for theatrical distribution of independent Indian films, despite increased streaming access. 她注意到观众仍不愿为独立影片(如*Homebound* 和*Sabar Bonda* 等)支付150美分, She noted that audiences remain unwilling to pay ₹150 for indie films like *Homebound* and *Sabar Bonda*, making theater releases rare, especially in smaller cities. Rao强调,如果没有强有力的受众支持和可靠的分发,即使是受到赞誉的电影在到达流平台时也失去势头。 Rao stressed that without strong audience support and reliable distribution, even acclaimed films lose momentum by the time they reach streaming platforms. 她强调,观众需要重视社区剧院的经验,支持各种故事,呼吁转变心态,以维持独立电影院。 She emphasized the need for viewers to value the communal theater experience and support diverse stories, calling for a shift in mindset to sustain independent cinema.
