Title: Soillse / Movies Across India

Are movie theatres the same the world over? Is buying a ticket all you need to do to share the audience's mood and reactions?

In India, a movie theatre is a place of worship as well as a place for escapism and dreams. Movies are the country's main social outlet and every showing starts with the playing of the national anthem.

Home to 14 million movie viewers and 12,000 movie theatres, it's a national obsession.
