26
Collections
Until
the
release
of
Saaho,
Kurukshetra
displayed
an
outstanding
run
in
theatres.
However,
its
collections
seem
to
have
been
affected
due
to
loss
of
screens.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
the
film
based
on
the
historic
war
is
expected
to
have
collected
Rs
3
crore
in
the
fourth
week,
the
least
since
its
release.
Kannada
Films
Affected
By
Other
Releases
Talking
about
the
impact,
the
release
of
other
language
films
has
had
on
Kannada
films,
Kurukshetra
distributor
Rockline
Venkatesh
stated,
"Last
week,
they
encashed
Saaho,
next
it
might
be
Sye
Raa
Narasimha
Reddy.
When
a
film
in
another
language
has
a
houseful
show
in
Bengaluru,
the
high
ticket
pricing
enables
the
exhibitors
to
earn
a
profit
that
is
three
times
that
of
a
Kannada
film.
The
only
way
to
curb
this
is
to
put
a
cap
on
the
ticket
pricing."
Kurukshetra
Failed
To
Impress
Non-Kannadigas
While
the
filmmakers
and
distributors
in
Karnataka
feel
non-Kannada
films
are
affecting
their
profits,
Kurukshetra
couldn't
perform
as
magically
among
the
non-Kannadigas.
We
can
say
this
by
its
minimal
collections
in
Tamil
Nadu
and
regions
of
Andhra.
Venkatesh
Wants
To
Curb
The
Issue
Rockline
Venkatesh
feels
the
issue
needs
to
be
addressed
at
the
earliest.
He
told
The
News
Minute,
"There
is
a
way
to
curb
this
situation,
for
which
we
need
the
interference
of
the
state
government,
and
a
cap
on
the
ticket
prices."
