Mystery of Ameena's 100-Week Cinema Run
2 Mar
Summary
- Small film 'Ameena' nears 100 weeks in Mumbai multiplex.
- Allegations suggest tickets are bought to simulate attendance.
- Producer claims high demand and foreign media interest.

A small-budget film, 'Ameena,' is purportedly on the verge of completing a remarkable 100-week run at a Mumbai multiplex. This achievement is particularly surprising given the current challenges for films to sustain theatrical runs. The film, released on April 12, 2024, continues to screen despite the release of numerous major films.
Investigations into 'Ameena's' longevity reveal questionable patterns, including consistently sold tickets that do not correspond to actual attendees. Reports indicate shows running with minimal to no audience, and promotional materials offering free tickets. The film's production house has also advertised opportunities for OTT platforms to acquire the film.
Despite these anomalies, producer-director Kumar Raj asserts that 'Ameena' experiences high weekend occupancy and significant repeat audiences, a claim he suggests can be verified by ticketing platforms. He also mentioned receiving interest from 'Time' magazine for a story on the film's unique run.
