National award wining filmmakers Kaushik Ganguly, Anjan Dutt slam Pathan release


After Kaushik Gangopadhyay, Anjan Dutt expressed his anger about the release conditions of ‘Pathan’. The distributors in Mumbai have stipulated that if they want to take the movie ‘Pathaan’, they have to take it for all the shows, no other movie can be given a show. Kaushik Ganguly took to social media on this complaint. Anjan Dutt called the matter shameful.

Anjan Dutt wrote on Facebook on the day of Commonality Day and Saraswati Puja without mentioning ‘Pathan’, “A few Bengali movies are being removed to prove the super power of a superstar’s film. It’s a shame. I am sure that this cannot be done in any other state of the country. This has become the norm in blockbuster Hindi movies. It’s a shame.”

After that, the director-actor and veteran musician wrote, “I am speaking on behalf of the producers and directors. Supporting those colleagues who make movies in this Bengali language like me. If they want to watch Bengali films, if they really want to watch them, then please, with a little effort, watch those films at the time, in the hall they are playing. Do this for a week. Maybe a good film or two will find its place again. Just a week.”

YRF has always done that. They work with theatre owners so that only their big films release.

They did it with Son of Sardar with Ajay too, but since Ajay had clout and influence, they could not do much.

Here the competition is very low budget films and a few regional films so they are able to do that

Not new. YRF did same to Son of Sardar.

These business tactics are as old as hills.

But then point is that the film is not a pure washout as SRK's previous films like Zero, nor like LSC of Aamir.

With these tactics too, they are still getting some audience.

Have other films not gotten unfair advantage with ruling govt promoting them and declaring them tax free, ministers organising screenings, religious or community groups organising screenings and urging people to watch the film in name of nationalism or faith? Remember all stops pulled to make people watch TKF in theatres?

Dhande mein sab chalta hai. Some have govt backing them. Some use other tactics through own clout and monopoly.

I dont doubt some cinemas maybe empty. The cinema I saw PK in was just 7 people. But it was still a huge hit
