The deadly coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc among the lives of the people. Its spread brought the entire world to a standstill and crushed the global economies. India is no different and the virus is fast reaching the community spread. Already many lost their livelihood due to lockdown and slowly due to the unlock process, people started breathing easy.
However the film industry is yet to receive any good news from the government authorities. Though shootings are permitted, the strict restrictions in the wake of the pandemic and the rise in cases is scaring everyone to take the risk.
The closure of theaters for more than five months left everyone in huge losses. Filmmakers and theater owners are waiting eagerly for the opening of theaters so that they can plan the films that are ready for release. Though OTTs are turning out to be an alternative, distributors and exhibitors are making huge losses and so are the producers.
Now reports are coming out that good news is in the offing and movie lovers will get to watch dasara dhamaka on the silver screen. Already theater owners wrote letters to the Union Government and are pressurizing the authorities.
The government restrictions like 30% occupancy are worrying the theater management but they feel something is better than nothing. Government authorities are planning to give green signals to the theaters to open if they get assurance from the management that they would follow strict measures to prevent the spread of corona.
All in all one may soon hear the good news and people will get Dasara dhamaka treat on silver screen from Oct 1st.
