Are Indian films allowed to run for a limited period of time in China?

– Yes, an Indian film can run for only four weeks in China. But if a Chinese party co-produces the In­dian film, there would be no restriction on the number of weeks. Aamir Khan had a Chinese company as co-producer of his SECRET SUPERSTAR because of which it was not discontinued in China after a 4-week run.

If film business has become quite transparent today due to computeri­sed ticketing in many big cities, why are there often disputes between corporates and producers?

– Many corporate houses inflate what they have spent on promotion and marketing when they present accounts to their partners in production (the producers). By doing so, they can ‘convert’ a hit film into a loss-making one and, therefore, not pay their partners anything.
