A movie's collection in India is calculated in a similar way to how it is calculated worldwide. The gross box office collection is derived by multiplying the number of tickets sold by the average ticket price.
However, there are a few key differences between how the gross box office collection is calculated in India and how it is calculated worldwide. First, the average ticket price in India is generally lower than the average ticket price in other countries. Second, the number of tickets sold in India is generally higher than the number of tickets sold in other countries. This is because India has a large population and a growing middle class.

Gross and nett box office collection in India is the total amount of money collected from ticket sales before and after deducting taxes, distribution fees, and other expenses, respectively.
The gross box office collection is typically split between the theater owner, distributor, producer, and exhibitor, with the producer's share typically being around 25-30%.
The nett box office collection is more important to filmmakers and producers, as it reflects the actual profitability of the film.
Movies in India make money primarily from box office revenue, satellite rights, digital rights, music rights, and merchandising. The specific sources of revenue vary depending on the genre of the movie, with big-budget action movies generating more revenue from box office sales and smaller-budget independent movies generating more revenue from digital rights and satellite rights.
