Irrespective of the region, people at any part of the world prefer watching foreign films than those made regionally. The prime reason of this could be the ease of access to the best talents and technology for foreign films. To give a chance for regional films to compete against foreign ones, government could support them economically.
Foreign films from the pre-production enjoys the massive funding they receive that entails the boarding of top artists and technicians. Hence, these films make no compromises to the content quality in any way making them worth to binge time on. Not only would these films be greatly realistic due to their visual edits, shooting or graphics but also have money to promote these films everywhere in the world. This is particularly true in case of Hollywood movies like the Avengers franchise which had a massive cast of prominent actors, technical and marketing support teams that sealed it a commercial success at the box office.
The government could financially support the local films that are often produced in very limited budget. With such economic support, these films could get exposure and access to both leading actors and latest technological advancements in all the stages of production from casting to editing and promotion. These films, hence, could be completed in par with the world standards. For instance, some films in India with certain exemptions receive financial aids as well as tax exemptions if they depict contents of historical significance and many were critically acclaimed at international film festivals.
In conclusion, it is the foreign films that has widespread popularity than the local ones due to their exposure to versatile actors and technical supports; to enhance the popularity and quality of regional films, governments could extend monetary supports.
