While I appreciate the sentiment, shouldn't tax exemptions be given to more pressing issues? Our education and healthcare sectors need this money more than Bollywood producers 😕

Interesting policy - in the US we don't have tax exemptions for films. Does this mean ticket prices will be lower? Or is it just the entertainment tax that's waived?
