No more early morning shows for big-ticket Tamil films even outside TN
Chennai: There will be no more 4.30am release of Tamil films even outside the state. Tamil Nadu stopped early morning release of big budget films in 2023 when a fan died in a stampede at 'Thunivu' screening. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Yet, producers continued to have releases at 4.30am in other states, while keeping the 9am show as the first show within Tamil Nadu. Now, big-ticket films, including Kamal Hassan's ;Thug Life;, will only hit screens from 9am onwards. Producers blame poor security in neighbouring states, rising theatre vandalism, low booking commissions for theatres, and paid reviews before release, affecting the bookings adversely. Even Ajith's Good Badly Ugly and Suriya's Retro had only 9 am releases. S R Prabhu, producer with Dream Warrior Pictures, said early morning shows are getting regulated in all states. "It's a challenge to secure police security for such early shows in other states. Fans come in craze, and mishaps tend to happen. So, many prefer not to have such shows early in the day," he said. Prabhu mentioned that paid influencers and YouTube reviewers who attend such shows give exaggerated reviews, both positive and negative, for reach. "So, even before a movie is released, it affects the booking. We just want people to directly view the show instead of getting influenced by such reviews," he said. Thiruppur Kumaran, representing Tamil Nadu Theater and Multiplex Owners Association, said fans come drunk and end up vandalising the seats and screens. "We cannot control the frenzy on such occasions. It's better to have morning shows," he said. People from Coimbatore mostly go to Kerala to watch, while those in Krishnagiri go to Bengaluru. Fans from Chennai go to Nagari in Andhra Pradesh to catch early shows. Prabhu also added that when fan clubs book in bulk, theatres don't get booking commissions.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Taking to its X timeline, Dream Warrior Pictures, the production house presenting the film, wrote, "Middle-class LIFE presented in a zany-heartrending manner. "Madras Matinee" in theatres from JUNE 6th." It may be recalled that the makers had released the first look poster a few days ago. However, then, they had only mentioned release in June without mentioning the date. The film caught the attention of film buffs when its makers released a video clip titled Madras Matinee Title Story earlier this year. From Ranveer Singh's '83' to Akshay Kumar's 'Bell Bottom', 'Atrangi Re' to Amitabh Bachchan's 'Jhund', here are the release dates of upcoming Bollywood films The YouTube video clip opened with actor saying one could even write about science fiction but not about the middle class. Trying to put across the point that middle class family life was boring, he ends his speech asking a question, "Where is the joy and adventure in a middle-class family's life?" However, you get the impression that the film will be an answer to this question posed by Sathyaraj. The video clip also gave away the names of the characters in the film. While Sathyaraj plays a sci-fi writer called Jyoti Ramaya, Kaali Venkat plays a character called Kannan and Roshini plays a character called Deepika. While Viswa plays a character called Dinesh, the dog Bigil plays a character called Brownie. The film, which has been produced by Madras Motion Pictures, will apart from Kaali Venkat and Roshni Haripriyan, feature a big list of actors including Sathyaraj, Shelly, Vishva, , Archana Chandhoke, , Madhumitha, Chaams, Geetha Kailasam, and Bhanupriya among others.
