Houseful: Theatres see patrons after more than 18 months
The Hindu
‘Full occupancy is a sign of beleaguered industry picking up’
Finally after over 18 months, films are running to packed theatres at least during the weekend, much to the relief of proprietors and the film industry.
Many expressed hope that it was a sign of the beleaguered industry finally picking up. Two Kannada films starring marquee names, Kotigobba 3 with Sudeep, and Salaga starring Duniya Vijay hit the screens on Friday. They are running to packed houses not just in Bengaluru but across the State.
“It had been a year and a half since we saw a ‘houseful’ board in front of our theatres. It is such an exhilarating experience to see it again. Not just in Bengaluru, even in other centres most theatres are running to full house. Both Kannada films released seem to be hits and will occupy theatres for the next three weeks,” said K.V. Chandrashekhar, president, Karnataka Film Exhibitors’ Association.
