Gloabal news had the of US presidential election with Obama winning. Also there was a local news in Surya TV regarding the release of new malayalam movie "Twenty20" produced by Actor Dileep under the banner of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Actors).
I will concentrate on the local news..!
There were issues about exhibitors boycotting the release of above movie. Unlike the agreed upon 'Wide; release wherein a new movie is released in B & C class theaters too (located in town/village), Distributors of this movie reduced the number of prints to some 70 or so. Hope that issue was solved before the release. It is a star studded movie & anybody who is somebody in the malayalam cinema had associated with the movie. Reports indicate that it was a very huge commercial success so far.
Kerala government tried to act smart & decreed that for the initial days of release of the picture, you will have to pay premium to view the movie. There was a smarter guy (An Advocate, C.K.Rajappan, incidently from Cherthala) who filed a petition in court against the price hike. The court had ruled that government have the right only to give exemption to payment of entertainment tax but it can't make some kind of increase in price at the time of release.
thats about the whole episode. Hope the movie continues to do good & malayalam movie sector will come back to its full glory in near future
