If you are talking about that one child policy of theirs, it was a terrible idea to begin with, with horrible consequences. I recommend watching One Child Nation. Its an amazing documentary on the topic. And the consequences of that policy is now biting them in the ass. 
 

The best way to address rising population and reducing fertility rate is to educate people and life them out of poverty. It is a fact that less educated and poorer folks have more children on average than educated and financially stable people.

Ah ok, based on what I read on wiki, the initial idea (I think by Maharashtra government) was good (to incentivize voluntary sterilization after 3rd child). But that morphed into forced sterilization over time which was terrible.

Its about the fallout and consequences of the one child policy. The documentary maker is Chinese American and she goes and interviews a lot of people in China, especially rural people, who were affected by the policy.

The Kashmir Files is going to be a gigantic hit. Everyone seems to be talking about it and its getting tax exemptions in a lot of states already as well.

[charlie Jatinder]

Well The Kashmir Files is doing a China in India. The Nett numbers are:

 

Friday - ₹3.5cr 
Saturday - ₹8.5cr

Sunday - ₹15cr 

 

Monday looks like will be around ₹10cr+. Full run can be ₹200cr+.

[charlie Jatinder]

Only bad thing. It's a right wing propaganda movie. 🤡 

 

It will be helped by RW party, BJP cadre, so the folks who never go to cinema may watch it as well.

Are South movies taking over india?

Looking at it the past 5 years, 3 of the years had south movies as the biggest films. 

 

I sort of find a lot of bollywood movies these days appeal more to niche urban audience and not many are having that mass appeal.

 

South movies Like Pushpa and Bahubali have a lot of mass appeal I find and movies entire family can watch and enjoy.
