Filmmaker Slams Theatre Screen Scarcity for Indian Films

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has voiced significant concerns over the inadequate showcasing of Indian films in theaters. He pointed out that while the Hollywood film 'Obsession' is consistently allocated six to seven shows daily, local releases like 'Bandar,' 'Main Vaapas Aaunga,' 'Sing Geetham,' and 'Governor' are receiving minimal screen time, sometimes just a single morning show.

This issue has been ongoing for two weeks, with 'Bandar' facing similar challenges last week. Kashyap emphasized that prioritizing domestic productions is crucial for the growth of the Indian film industry. His remarks came during a particularly competitive Friday at the box office, with nine films releasing simultaneously, intensifying the struggle for screen space.

The article also briefly touches upon the plots of 'Bandar,' which deals with themes of false allegations and the justice system, and 'Obsession,' a supernatural thriller. Reviews for 'Bandar' noted its exploration of societal issues, while 'Obsession' was described as a film where escalating tension and a sense of threat permeate every scene.
