Priyanka Ghose champions for encouragement of cultural exchange via films.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> has announced the imposition of a 100 per cent tariff on all movies made outside the US and sent into the country for release. The United States is a significant market for Bollywood films, with a reported box office contribution of 35 to 40 per cent. News18 exclusively spoke to filmmaker Priyanka Ghose, who opines that the collections of \u201cvery big films” could potentially take a hit.<\/p>\n

While it is unclear how this new tariff will be levied, it could affect ticket costs and discourage Bollywood films from being released in the US. Priyanka Ghose tells us, \u201cWe will have to wait and see whether this tariff will discourage moviegoers and cinemas in the USA. Barring some very big films, hopefully, this will not have a severe impact on overall box office numbers.”<\/p>\n

The US has always been a lucrative market for Bollywood\u2019s distributors, given the diaspora population across the nation. News18 previously reported that ticket prices and distribution costs \u201ccould double if the new rules are fully enforced”. According to Priyanka, producers and distributors need to assess \u201chow important the US market is for them”.<\/p>\n

The filmmaker says, \u201cCurrently, Bollywood films are shot in production-friendly places all around the world. Cultural exchange through films is invaluable, and we hope to see it encouraged, not restricted, in the years ahead.”<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s Announcement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump took to Truth Social (a social media platform he owns) on Monday and posted,\u00a0\u201cOur movie-making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing \u2018candy from a baby\u2019.<\/p>\n

OTT Shift Inevitable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Trump\u2019s new tariff comes into effect, Bollywood would have to change its course to afford a profitable US release. As such, a more aggressive push towards OTT is likely to be seen. It remains unclear whether Trump will levy tariffs only on theatrical releases or on streaming platform releases as well.<\/p>\n

The Guardian, in a report published in May, said that it was not specified whether the tariffs would be based on production costs or box office revenue. It also said that it remained unclear whether productions split between the US and other countries would be exempt.<\/p>\n

With this new announcement, the futures of highly anticipated films like Alia Bhatt\u2019s Alpha and Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s Ramayana have come under the spotlight.<\/p>\n
