National award winning director and popular actor Sidharth Siva’s Facebook status few days back about the release of his national award winning film Ain and the attitude of our theaters to small films like Ain has got great attention and response among the people in social media. And today he came up with another one in which he has made a sarcastic take on the plight of Malayalam films when big Tamil films comes and on the way he made a dig at Puli wide release as well. Now it is also getting great response in the social media circles.
He said that his film Ain is slowly withdrawing from even the very limited screens it has got to screen the flick. Sidharth Siva says that there was two primary reasons for that withdrawal. One is that people are not rushing to theaters for watching his film and another is the wide release of the Tamil film Puli which is stealing centers from all Malayalam films. But he said that he is very happy that many people had come from different districts specially for watching this film at Thrissur, Calicut and Trivandrum where the film had got theaters to set the show.
He said still there are many true film lovers who wants to watch real cinema and the so called film maniacs are the encouragement for filmmakers like him. Sidharth Siva has also said thanks to those who watched the film and told their opinion about. He also thanked those wished him good luck but was not able to watch the film due to many factors said above.
Sidharth Siva said that he had no hope that this will help him making some money or something. He is sure that he will not even get half of the money back which he used to release the film. But he wanted this film to get released because there are a lot of good actors, technicians who worked in this film and their performance have to be seen by the viewers. He said that still the film is running in Thrissur Sree (2.30pm), Calicut Kairali (6 pm, 9 pm) and Trivandrum Nila (11.30 am) and try to see it before Puli takes over this small film. He also said that another national award winning film is releasing on October 2nd and try to watch it as well if all of us have time and desire to watch small but good films.
