<h1>India's Competition Commission Report Highlights Film Distribution Issues, Urges Self-Regulation and Fair Practices for Industry Stakeholders.</h1> The Competition Commission of India released a report on the film distribution chain, identifying key competition issues and recommending self-regulatory measures for stakeholders. The study highlights imbalances in bargaining power, bottlenecks, revenue-sharing, and tying arrangements. Recommendations include tailored contracts for multiplexes and producers, fair promotion terms, and adopting box office monitoring systems. Virtual Print Fee (VPF) should be phased out gradually, especially for single screens. Associations are urged to avoid anti-competitive practices and promote competition law awareness. The Commission hopes these measures will curb anti-competitive practices and reduce the need for regulatory intervention.
