Cine owners association has control over only 400 single screens out of 12k in India. Means 11600 will thankfully exhibit #AeDilHaiMushkil
@DoraDebashish hence after all the maths Bollywood films end up getting only 5500 (max) screens for their films
SO out of 5500 screens bollywood get only 200-250 Single screens are in question.
Now
To get a clarity on what the decision means and what its implications could be, we spoke to film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi.
COEAI can't ban or disallow a film from playing
COEAI has only requested their members to play the film
The association has only requested its members not to play the film. A lot of them will play and a lot of them will not. It is their individual call. COEAI has made the request to show solidarity and to protect members from any form of threat. It is a respected call.
