The repercussions of the US-China trade standoff seems to be working in favour of Bollywood films. Chinese experts have been batting for Bollywood films as an alternative to Hollywood fare. Given the US-China trade friction and Chinese audience`s aesthetic fatigue towards American films, the Indian film industry will have greater opportunities, according to Tian Guangqiang, assistant research fellow with the National Institute of International Strategy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. China`s box office collection in 2017 stood at Rs 58,800 crore, an increase of 13.45% over last year. It is the world`s second biggest movie market after the US. It presently has 41,000 cinema screens which are almost double the number than in India. Foreign films accounted for 46 per cent of this collection. Of the top 10 movies in Chinese market last year, only five were domestically produced. China`s top 10 box office films are no longer just local films and Hollywood blockbusters, as movies made in other countries such as India appeared on the list last year including movies like `Secret Superstar` and `Bajrangi Bhaijaan`. Aamir Khan`s `Dangal` continues to be the most popular Hindi movie of all time raking in Rs 1300 crore which is nearly half of the total collections of the eight Indian films (Rs 2784 crore) released in the last three years.
