The largest conflict of the 12 months occurred this week as Dunki was launched in cinemas on December 21 whereas Salaar arrived in cinemas as we speak, that’s, December 22. It’s widespread for present-sharing issues to happen when two large motion pictures collide at the ticket window. But the issues that cropped up with these two films are unprecedented. Newz9 was the first to report the viral information that Salaar makers had determined to pull their movie from PVR Inox and Miraj properties in the South after they accused the multiplex chains of ‘unfair trade practice’. A couple of hours later, thanks to the affect of the article, all events renegotiated the deal. It was anticipated that present-sharing would happen. Alas, it hasn’t occurred. Instead, exhibitors had been requested to play both of the two films. As a end result, some opted for Dunki whereas others determined to play Salaar.
Dunki vs Salaar: Single-screen exhibitors distressed as they are not allowed to share exhibits; forced to choose one out of the two films
Newz9 went via the listings of Mumbai’s single-display screen cinema halls and discovered that none of them are sharing exhibits. The theatres enjoying Dunki are PVR Le Reve Bandra, MovieTime Star City, Ajanta Cinema Cinex Borivali, Kasturba Malad, Gold Dadar, Roxy, Inox Thakur Movie, MovieMax Andheri East, MovieMax Goregaon West, Chitra, Regal and Bahar. Meanwhile, Maratha Mandir, Citylight, Inox Nakshatra Dadar, Mukta A2 Orion Santa Cruz, Premier Gold, Plaza, Paradise, Gold Thane, Gold Borivali, Okay T Vision Vasai, Anand Cinema Thane, Movie Time Dahisar, New Excelsior, Movie Time Suburbia and MovieMax Kandivali have opted for Salaar. An identical state of affairs was seen throughout most centres in India. And in an amusing transfer, Gopi Cinema in Dombivali has shunned each the films. Instead, it’s enjoying two exhibits of Animal and two exhibits of the Marathi movie Jhimma 2!
An exhibition supply informed Newz9, “The team of Salaar were okay with sharing shows. But the distributors of Dunki were clear – you have to screen all shows of their film and not a single show can be given to Salaar. Hence, exhibitors had no choice but to opt for one film.”
A single-display screen exhibitor from North India spoke on the situation of anonymity, “I am screening Dunki and it’s doing well. But I wish I could have played Salaar. I have been getting so many enquiries since yesterday. It’s a film that suits the taste of my target audience. When Gadar 2 and OMG 2 clashed and shared shows peacefully, the same could have been done for Dunki and Salaar as well.”
Meanwhile, in a surprising growth, the afternoon present of Dunki in Maratha Mandir was not performed as the KDM wasn’t issued. Executive Director Manoj Desai refunded the quantity to the patrons. He then performed Animal in the night and evening exhibits and from as we speak, Salaar will likely be performed in three exhibits. He informed us, “Agar distributors aisa karenge, toh hamare sab ke din bhar gaye hai.”
An trade insider commented, “The exhibitors are suffering in this clash. Salaar is distributed by AA Films. Those who opted for Dunki now fear that AA Films won’t let them play the next big film that he’ll distribute. In the past, AA Films had distributed Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees which clashed with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. Mumbai’s Chandan Cinema and Central Plaza opted for Kaabil. They had to suffer when AA Films didn’t allow them to showcase Baahubali 2. That film was pulling in the audience in hordes and these two theatres had to bear losses.”
