Screening Tamil Films resumes in Karnataka
Screening of Tamil films has been resumed in Karnataka after a gap of three weeks of blockade in the wake of Hogenakkal Drinking Water Project between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. There are more than 30 plus theaters in Bangalore City, which screen Tamil films in view of the large Tamil population in the city.
Even a Kannada fan is also interested in watching a Tamil movie. Most of the Kannada films are a mere copy of popular Tamil films. For every new release, there is an amazing response among the viewers and Bangalore became a big center for Tamil film business for decades.
The
resumption
of
screening
has
been
on
a
low
key
without
any
advertisements
in
newspapers
or
on
TV
channels.
There
are
no
huge
posters
at
the
theatres
either,
apparently
not
to
arouse
protests
again
by
pro-Kannada
activists.
Meanwhile, the Kannada Film Industry requested the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce to revoke the suspension on them and ensured for a smooth running of Tamil Films in Karnataka.
