BookMyShow Co-founder Parikshit Dar said the entertainment industry is “in deep trouble” for another “two-three months or longer” but will bounce back.

Parikshit Dar said, “The entertainment industry is, kind of, in deep trouble, for maybe another two to three months, at least the theatrical business. Live events I think will take slightly longer to come back because it is slightly more complex to organise an event. But having said that, things will bounce back”

He said that BookMyShow is very confident that things will go back to normal for the industry.

Dar said, “You invest time in going out, even if it’s going to a movie. The whole experience, it’s not just the same at home, if you’re sitting and if you don’t like a movie, you switch off the button and that’s kind of it. You go to a theatre, it’s the whole ambience, the experience. So we don’t think that’s going away anywhere.”

BookMyShow is India’s largest online entertainment ticketing platform.
