Chennai theatres set to re-release memorable old Tamil films

Описание: Print projection is making a comeback at a few Chennai theatres, which plan to re-release hit Tamil films such as ‘Minsara Kanavu’ and ‘Kaadhal Mannan’. “With exams around the corner, this has traditionally been a bad month for cinema, and thus, we usually have re-releases that fetch us footfall,” explains Ruban Mathivanan of GK Cinemas. This time, however, he has reason to celebrate: not only will he showcase a special playback series, but he has also enabled his main screen with a print projector, thus bringing back to theatres a technology that has not been in vogue in the last decade or so.

With tickets priced at ₹80, these re-releases hope to evoke nostalgia among older audiences and provide a new experience for younger audiences who are used to consuming films played through digital projectors.
