Hemant Dhome upset over cancellation of ‘Sunny’ shows
In the past, we have seen cancellation of shows of Marathi films at the 11th hour, in spite of booking of cinema halls and newspaper advertising about that show in a particular cinema hall.
पुन्हा एकदा महाराष्ट्रात मराठी चित्रपटांची गळचेपी… या राज्यात मराठी सिनेमासाठी जर आता एक शो मिळवायला झगडावं लागत असेल तर कठीण आहे! शुक्रवारी लागलेला सिनेमा दुसऱ्या दिवशी निघतोय! लोक सनी या चित्रपटाची तिकीटं काढतायत आणि शोज कॅन्सल केले जात आहेत!

Now, after a long break due to spread of corona pandemic, when we see reopening of theatres with the shows of the films, there has been limited attendance in theatres. However, we have not heard about cancellation of a show and refund of tickets to the buyers.
This has happened during the show of ‘Sunny’ in Kalyan. Refund has been given to the ticket buyer, after cancellation of show. The ticket buyer has brought this to the notice of Hemant Dhome, the director of this film, who in turn was upset expressed his reaction on social media. “ When the cinema hall is booked, it is obligatory on the part of theatre owner to screen the film, even if there is one buyer of ticket. Cancelling the show and refunding the ticket amount is a bad practice. We came to know about it as the audience pointed out this to us. This has not happened at one theatre, but also at different cinema halls in Maharashtra. This is injustice.” he said.
Paid Preview of ‘Sunny’ finds Full house
Makers of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Sunny’ tried a new experiment. They arranged a paid preview of their film in a theatre in Pune.

We are very hopeful that the film lovers would respond to our film in the same manner when it is actually released in theatres.” Lead actor Lalit Prabhakar is also overwhelmed with the good response for Paid preview.’Sunny’ stars Lalit Prabhakar along with Chinmay mandlekar, Kshiti Jog, Abhishek Deshmukh, Amey Barve in lead roles.
