Telugu audiences and trade circles have owned Tamil and other language films for several years now. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about Tamil trade reciprocating the same. The recent release of Diwali films like KA, Amaran, and Lucky Baskhar has once again made this abundantly clear.
Lucky Baskhar and KA movies are Telugu-produced films still Amaran and Bagheera have been allotted a huge number of shows in Hyderabad. These films even got a higher number of shows despite less business involved.
Even the Amaran Tamil version also got a good number of shows in Hyderabad. Hindi films like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 have more shows than KA movies in Hyderabad.
In Chennai and TN, our Telugu film KA did not even get a single show. The Tamil version dropped due to competition but even for the Telugu version, no-shows were allocated despite a high demand.
Extremely limited shows have been allotted for Lucky Baskhar despite a heavy demand. On the other hand, Hindi films Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 and Singham Returns got a good screen count in Chennai. This is an unfortunate situation and the scenario has to change in Tamil Nadu to ensure a healthy trade environment.
