While exhibitors are hoping for a revival, the rise in COVID-19 cases is causing concern
For the first time in months, a film was running to packed houses on the weekend. Darshan starrer
Robert, which was released on Thursday, has got the biggest opening since the lockdown, raising hopes of a revival of fortunes in the Kannada film industry.
The first big commercial film to hit the screens post lockdown was
Pogaru on February 19, weeks after the State government allowed 100% occupancy in theatres on February 1. However, not all theatres were open at the time, and for the most part, the public was also wary of going to theatres.
