What's behind this
Theatres in Tamil Nadu welcomed a government order that permits up to six daily screenings of new releases, starting as early as 6 am, which owners described as a ‘Deepavali gift’. According to reports, the move was prompted after owners raised operational difficulties with the chief minister, who then issued the order. The decision is expected to boost opening‑day collections, and filmmakers such as the makers of Nayanthara’s ‘Mookuthi Amman 2’ thanked the chief minister for the change.
