In the Telugu states, the arrival of a new cinema and that too a star cinema is no less than a festival. And if the same star film is arriving during the festival, the excitement and enthusiasm is next level. As part of that, it is more of a tradition to hold early morning shows for big star movies and there are many times when people start thronging the theatres from late night itself to catch the early show.
Now, the discussion is happening across both states whether early morning shows will take place for the Sankranthi films or not. The point is, will they get permissions in both states and what will be the status. As such, in many multiplexes and stand alone theatres, the early morning shows are expected to be held at 7 am.
Incidentally, when movies have hype these shows work and it creates a huge impact. But for now, even the advance bookings are yet to open and all are waiting to see when they will start giving the tickets. The cine buffs feel it is necessary to have early morning shows during Sankranthi time as the craze is high and it sets a very positive vibe for the films as well. Hope the authorities make note of this and do the needful.
