No Entry for Marathi movies in Mumbai theatres

With all the talk of Marathi Cinema undergoing a renaissance… 3M was surprised to see that Theatre owners are protesting against a 1968 Maharashtra Government order which makes it compulsory for all cinema halls to exhibit Marathi movies for 4 weeks in a year. Authorities had actually never verified whether the theatrewallas are complying with the order. Now when the government has tightened the screws by threatening to cancel the license of the non-compliers, Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association has started protesting.

3M is reminded of the ‘Marathi Patya’ issue which raged 6 months ago… Be rest assured that MNS will soon jump in the fray to convert ‘non-compliers’ into ‘compliers’!
