Hollywood understands the math, says SRK, and they ran into trouble in the US on a simple count. On average, for a movie to fare well, it needs one screen for 100,000 people.

India is seductive: We have one screen per million people. SRK is betting these numbers will change dramatically with infrastructure being built.
