| Affected Group | Impact | |----------------|--------| | Daily-wage technicians (lighting, sound, spot boys) | No work if budgets shrink. Many lost livelihoods after "RRR" leaks. | | Small-budget filmmakers | Recover costs only through first-week collections.

Over 1,000 single screens closed in the last decade. | | You, the viewer | Lower production quality, fewer experimental films, and increased ticket prices. |
