Breaking News: Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari to Release In PVR

 Big breakthrough  for  the  deadlock faced by movie theatres for new content post-lockdown . Abhishek Sharma’s comedy  Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari featuring Manoj Bajpai and  Dilijit Dosanjhwill  release  in movie  theatres  on  November 15,  two days  after  it streams on Zee 5.

Though  this may not seem  like  much of a  breakthrough  for the crippled  movie theatre business, and  it is unlikely that movie patrons  will step  out of their  homes to watch  the  film in movie theatres  two days after its premiere on  the  OTT platform, the release  of a new  film in movie theatres after the Corvid  lockdown is  a healthy  optimistic  sign for  the  movie business.

While the  PVR chain and   the Cinepolis  group have already confirmed  that Suraj Pe MangalBhari will open in their theatres  from November 15, the other multiplex chains are  yet to  make the announcement.

A  PVR source  told this writer, “It’s all very sudden. And we’re not yet  aware  of what the deal for profit-sharing between  movie theatres and  the digital  platform is.”
