Usually,
Fridays
are
the
happy
days
for
cinemaholics.
Especially
in
Bengaluru,
it
is
that
day
of
the
week
when
a
lot
of
crackers
get
burst
in
front
of
theatres
in
K.
G.
Road.
For
the
already
established
stars,
it
is
just
another
film
to
their
credit,
while
for
newcomers,
it
is
a
test
of
luck.
Having
said
all
that,
this
weekend,
September
22,
there
are
no
film
releases
in
Sandalwood.
Yes,
you
heard
me
correct.
This
only
means
that
there
will
not
be
any
celebration
for
filmgoers.
No
films
want
to
see
the
light
of
the
day
on
this
weekend,
sadly.
One
might
be
wondering
why
this
is
the
case.
Well,
this
is
not
the
first
time
that
something
of
this
sorts
is
happening.
There
is
no
compulsion
to
release
films
on
every
Friday
throughout
the
year.
However,
an
empty
Friday
like
this
has
not
been
recorded
in
the
recent
past,
so
to
speak!
Well,
there
are
strong
reasons.
Firstly,
films
that
are
already
in
theatres
are
running
housefull
so
the
theatre
availability
diminishes,
thereby
increasing
the
chances
of
failure,
which
nobody
wants
to
risk.
Secondly,
Challenging
Star
Darshan
starrer
Tarak
will
release
on
September
29,
exactly
a
week
later,
in
over
300
theatres
all
over
the
state.
That
means
even
if
films
release
this
weekend,
they
will
be
out
of
the
theatres
by
the
next
weekend,
thus
affecting
the
business.
We
should
also
consider
the
fact
that
star-studded
neighbouring
language
movies
will
also
release
in
Karnataka
this
weekend
as
well
as
the
next,
thereby
reducing
the
number
of
available
theatres
and
scope
for
success
for
new
films
or
newcomers.
Come
Dasara,
people
have
holidays
and
flock
to
theatres,
along
with
their
families.
One
would
obviously
choose
to
hit
the
theatres
which
have
stars' films
on
display.
This
further
adds
to
the
woes
of
amateur
filmmakers
or
newcomers.
Added
to
all
these
are
the
climatic
changes
like
rain,
which
can
tempt
people
to
take
a
vacation
during
the
long
weekend
that
they
will
have.
Films
cannot
run
without
the
audience,
right?
So,
what
will
happen
if
the
number
of
filmgoers
drop?
It
seems
too
risky.
No
newcomer
in
the
film
industry
likes
to
take
these
kind
of
risks
and
still
release
his/her
film,
unless
he/she
is
really
passionate
about
cinemas,
is
what
we
have
understood
from
their
behaviour.
We
think
the
producers
these
days
are
becoming
a
little
too
extra
cautious
about
the
future
of
their
films
in
these
situations,
which
are
not
necessary.
Films
like
Ondu
Motteya
Kathe
have
proven
to
be
enigmatic
successes
despite
the
stiff
competition
and
zero
marketing
or
publicity
stunts!
