No release of Marathi films on box office for last two Fridays
We have witnessed Marathi film makers releasing four to five films together in the past on a friday. But, sometimes we find not a single Marathi film released on a particular Friday. And this has happened for the last two Fridays. Marathi films were disappointed that after ‘Pushpak Viman’ disappointed them two weeks ago, no Marathi film maker dared to release his film on two subsequent Fridays.
Over the years, we have noticed that whenever any big banner Hindi film announces its release, no Marathi film maker dares to release his film on that particular Friday. This Friday we saw simultaneous release of two big banner Hindi films, namely ‘Gold’ and ‘Satyamev Jayate’ and this kept Marathi film producers and their distributors away from the race. And now don’t be surprised to find 3 to 4 Marathi films releasing together before the arrival Ganapati festival. Perhaps, that suits them the most.
Today, Marathi films have established their own identity on the basis of good subjects. So, why not compete with big banner commercial Hindi films?
