I always wonder about "large Indian segment" because the IFE certainly reflects that (a good number of Indian movies.) However, in my experience I rarely see Indians on the flight (even if I do they are in single-digits, as opposed to a flight 80% full of Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwanese.)

Anyway, side note, the quality of Chinese movies have really fallen downward in my opinion.
