For
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
Indian
Cinema,
Thankar
Bachan's
extra-ordinary
film
Onbathu
Roopai
Nottu
will
be
shown
in
a
public
premier
at
100
selected
theaters
all
over
the
state.
On
Sunday,
Dec
9
th,
(Noon
Show
at
11.30)
the
film
will
be
shown
to
the
public
without
fixing
a
ticket
fare.
After
watching
the
movie,
the
viewers
could
drop
an
amount
they
wish
to
pay
to
the
film
in
a
hundi,
which
is
fixed
in
front
of
the
theater!
Pyramid
Saimira,
the
corporate
film
company
is
making
this
arrangement
in
the
theaters
which
are
run
by
them
to
popularize
this
good
film
among
the
public.
Onbathu
Roopai
Nottu
got
released
on
last
Friday,
but
in
limited
theaters
all
over
the
state.
Thankar
was
in
great
frustration
due
to
non
availability
of
good
theaters
for
his
healthy
movie.
Many
theater
owners
told
him
that
most
of
the
theaters
are
controlled
by
Pyramid
Saimira,
the
leading
theater
chain
in
the
state.
At
the
time,
he
prepared
for
a
strong
protest
against
this
situation,
Swaminaathan,
Managing
Director
of
Pyramid
Saimira
has
come
forward
to
show
Onbathu
Roopai
Nottu
in
100
good
theaters
controlled
by
them
on
free
of
cost!
According
to
Swaminathan,
the
film
is
not
shown
on
free
of
cost
for
public.
First,
they
must
view
the
film
without
paying
a
single
penny.
After
watching
the
movie,
they
could
pay
whatever
they
want
by
dropping
the
amount
in
a
hundi.
This
collection
will
go
to
the
producer
of
the
film
but
not
to
us.
"I
love
good
Cinema.
I
come
forward
to
do
this
just
because
of
saving
a
good
producer
from
the
loss.
Onbathu
Roopai
Nottu
is
an
excellent
movie
and
a
new
milestone
in
the
75
year
old
cinema.
We
should
honour
and
celebrates
film
makers
like
Thankar…" says
Swaninaathan.
Saimira
makes
arrangements
for
free
booking
of
tickets
also
for
the
film.
Those,
who
want
to
book
free
tickets
for
this
show,
can
call
044-46464646
at
any
time.
It
may
be
recalled
that
in
the
late
seventies,
famous
writer
Jayakanthan
had
shown
his
debut
film
Unnaipol
Oruvan
to
the
public
first
due
to
unavailability
of
theaters.
After
seen
the
great
response
from
public,
theaters
came
forward
to
screen
the
movie
and
the
same
was
later
celebrated
Silver
Jubilee!
