Some who work in the film distribution industry contend the vandalism is part of an effort to control local screening rights and ticket sales of South Indian language films, and keep them out of major chains

, an Indian crime drama released earlier this month, tells the story of one of the country’s most notorious fugitives, a man accused of murder who may have staged his own death to collect insurance money. But when the movie opened in Ontario theatres, a different kind of mystery unfolded.

Some who work in the distribution industry contend the vandalism is part of an effort to control local screening rights and ticket sales, and keep the films out of major chains. “The threat is real,” said Saleem Padinharkkara, a film distributor in Waterloo. , and the film was pulled. “At the end of the day, we lost money,” says Sandeep Vasudevula, whose company distributed the movie, adding that he spent tens of thousands of dollars on it. “I’m not interested in doing movies any more because of these issues,” he said.

Cineplex isn’t the only chain affected. In October, 2019, Landmark Cinemas in Kitchener showed a historical action movie in Telugu called. On a Friday afternoon, a man wearing black pants and a black hoodie slashed the screen andwith what police believe was bear spray. The same individual then drove to a Landmark theatre in Whitby and did the same thing.

Glad that this is getting attention. The people behind these acts must be found and punished immediately. Cineplex should also consider increasing their level of security

So, yeah, just remember this is the globe, and therefore any motivations it ascribes to actions, especially in a business story, have to be seen as suspect.

In China, I cannot get justice for my father's death due to academic corruption caused by medical corruption, malfeasance in judicial, law enforcement agencies, government administrative departments and discipline inspection, and lack of conscience in media supervision.
