Marathi films during prime time: Do you support Maharashtra govt's move?

Wise Citizen, India, 2015-04-08 14:46:19.167

The Chief Minister of "MAHARASHTRA" has asked the theater owners of "MAHARASHTRA" to show a Marathi film in one hall of the multiplex during prime time. He has not asked other state theater owners to do that, but his own. Hence it's but right that the theater owners respect the local language and do screen Marathi film at prime time.

The only reason why people are crying about this imposition is because most of the primetime tickets are highly prized than regular morning shows. Marathi industry produces gem of cinemas and to promote profitability of movies it is an essential step. As a working man I can watch the marathi movies only on weekends since most shows are in morning. The people who have problem with this will tomorrow demand banning of marathi film industry or hollywood dubbed movies. The government should stop this bollywood hypocrisy.

India was divided on the basis of language and not religion, so he is right in promoting the regional language in his own state.... now most people will bring in secular, political and blah blah into this argument

Why not ? This is just like reservation. If reservation is valid then this screening marathi movies is also valid

I am a Tamil,and a movie enthusiast.I have watched Marati movies and I have felt they deserve greater attention. On other hand Hindi Movies starring Big stars but really horrible movies.... Creating Room for Marathi Movies is appreciable. Hindi Movie makers and Multiplexes should be gracious as one hall one show in multiplexes are not going to kill their revenue. And before people jump in favour of Commercial interests of Multiplex owners....remember the cost of popcorn you spent in Multiplexes

The war between Ajay devgan and SRK a few years back had very well brought to light the muscle flexing done by certain production houses to scuttle movies from other productions. If bigger production houses have to go through this then how do you expect smaller regional productions to see themselves through. Also it cannot be denied that north/Punjabi dominated industry has always been hostile towards Marathi Film Industry. So,to fight this regional bias and money, personal influences/hold, political intervention is necessary.

Dear CM please ask all actors, stakeholders, or anyone related to Indian Movie/TV/Media to move to Delhi or any other place where Hindi is more prevalent. You find Hindi speaking bollywood not relevant to Maharashtra so please ask them to get out. Mumbai is better off them if you cannot respect an industry due to which Mumbai is a dream destination for Indians. Secondly Beef is banned, Chowpati is now swaraj (LOL), Watch Marathi movies instead of hindi forcibly and many more to come. Modi has failed to restrict BJP's main ideology undercover. Development and growth agenda was a camouflage to create a perception which almost everyone in India failed to understand. Maharashtra is now ruled from Nagpur and not Mumbai thus it is obvious to have many more strong and forced decisions on everyone. I regret I voted for BJP the so called progressive government.
