Tamil Nadu Permits Six Daily Theatre Shows for New Film Releases
What happened
The Tamil Nadu government introduced regulations allowing theaters across the state to screen up to six shows daily during the first week of a film's theatrical release. The permitted screening window runs from 6 am to 2:30 am the following day, and these provisions can extend to weekends and holidays. Production houses, including Vels Film International, acknowledged the change, which benefits films like Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2 and Suriya's Scene.
