One can understand about the healthy competition noticed among Marathi films, for the past few months. Yet, nothing has been done so far, about becoming firm on the release dates of their films. Sometimes, we notice 3 to 4 Marathi films being released at a time; but on a particular Fridays, there is no film released. One can understand about the decision of Marathi film makers, not release their film on 18^th December 2015, due to release of two big banner Hindi films. But, on 25^th of December, no film was released.

‘Mohar‘, which had earlier announced its release on 25^th December, later thought of taking on the mighty ‘Natasamraat’ on 1^st January 2016 and we saw the consequences of it.

‘Sangharshayatra’ which was scheduled for release on 11^th December 2015, to coincide with the birth anniversary of late Gopinath Munde; postponed its release date at the last moment, even after issuing official advertisements about its release. Then we saw ‘Youth’ also postponing its release date from 15^th January to 5^th February 2016, for the reasons best known to its maker. Perhaps, this being a film on youth, they expected competition from ‘Friends’.

Now, talking about ‘Friends’, the film was supposed to release on 22^nd January 2016, along with Sanjay Jadhav’s film ‘Guru’. But, now they have preponed their film’s release to 15^th January 2016, along with films like ‘Shasan’ and ‘Chahato Mi Tula’. One can understand the association of Swapnil and Ankush during ‘Duniyadari’ and also Sachit’s   friendship with Ankush.So, possibly, they might have had some amicable solution, instead of clashing of their films, against each other.

Among the other Marathi films, which have announced their release dates in January 2016, are ‘Anuraag’- 21^st January 2016, ‘Athang’ – 29^th January 2016 and Mumbai Time also on 29^th January 2016. And, we only hope that they don’t change their dates.
