In the meanwhile, Maharashtra Cine Chitrapat Sena (MCTS) a Union working for the welfare of Marathi Cinema, has taken up the issue in a different way. They have clearly pointed out the recent Mumbai High Court order, wherein the Marathi films in a theatre per year have been reduced from 112 to 44 only.

Reacting to this judgment, the MCTS has filed a third party petition against the above order. An announcement to this effect was made by the Union at a press conference held in Mumbai on 13th august 2010. The Union has blamed the Cultural department of Maharashtra Government for not taking any initiative to fight for the rights of Marathi language films, which in the recent times has shown considerable improvement and had also gathered a good turn out at theatres. They also alleged that none of the representative from Cultural Department of Government was present during the proceedings in court.

This clearly shows the neglect of our own State Government in promoting Marathi language cinema in their own state. MCTS has therefore appealed to all those lovers of Marathi cinema and the media to show their solidarity in this fight against injustice to Marathi cinema.
