AP Ranks First In Highest Number of Theatres

Movies is a great form of entertainment for the people in the country. They hold a special place in the hearts of audiences. Every Friday, the movie lovers meet up at the theatres to celebrate the films, and the South movie lovers are the best at welcoming the films.

For Telugu people, watching movies in theaters is more than entertainment—it's an emotion. The electrifying atmosphere at theaters, especially during the release of films featuring beloved stars, is a testament to this enthusiasm. According to a recent survey, Andhra Pradesh leads the country in the number of movie theaters.

Altogether, there are 6877 theatres in the nation, and Andhra Pradesh alone has 1097 theatres. This number highlights the state's deep-rooted cinematic culture. Tamil Nadu has 942 theaters, Karnataka 719, and Telangana 485, while Maharashtra leads in the North with 703 theaters.

Other states like Gujarat (420), Bengal (373), and Uttar Pradesh (321) follow suit. But their numbers pale in comparison to those of the southern states. In the North, there are more multiplexes compared to single screens.
