People put labels on others to understand them better or categorise them but humans are too complex, in my opinion. I don’t like labels. For example I am not a #leftist, #rightist or #centrist. I support ideas from all these #ideologies but no, I don’t lean towards any. I am just me. Nita.

India makes the most films globally every year but most people aren't going to the cinema. They can't afford the high prices of tickets & popcorn. So premium pricing is paying off? Nope. Fancy cinema halls are drowning in debt as the masses prefer OTT platforms.
