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.

‘Raat Hi…’ song from ‘Sunny’ is for homesick people
Youngsters, especially those who are staying far away from their home either for studying or job assignment, become ‘homesick’ and realize the importance of near and dear ones at home. Makers of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Sunny’ have released a song ‘Raat Hi…’ from this film, on the occasion of Diwali which is for all those homesick people who are missing their friends and relatives, more son during big festivals. This song is penned by Kshitij Patwardhan and is composed by Saumil Siddharth. Nikhil D’souza has rendered his voice for this song.
The story of ‘Sunny’ is written by Irawati karnik and this film is directed by Hemant Dhome. Dirctor Hemant Dhome feels that there is a lot of similarity between this song and his life. “ Whenever we are at home, there are small things, we give least importance. But, when we are far away from our home, we realise the importance of these small things. When we are far away, we miss all our relatives and close friends whenever it is festival time. ‘Sunny’ reminds you all these emotional feelings and this song is more touching.” Says Hemant.
