MUMBAI:The Maharashtra state government has
suspended the licenses of 34 cinema houses across
Mumbai which include both multiplexes and small
screen theatres.
The
suspension of the licenses apply to those cinema
houses which did not screen any Marathi film
for at least four weeks in one year.
Deputy
chief minister and home minister RR Patil stated
that all theatres were supposed to screen at
least one Marathi film for four weeks in a year.
However, since a lot of theatres were not abiding
by the order, the blackout was called for.
The
blackout of these screens range between two
to eight days. Thus, while some screens out
of the 34 will face suspension for two days,
the blackout in the other theatres will range
between six to eight days.
The
suspension order include single screen theatres
like Maratha Mandir, Eros and Sharda and multiplexes
like Cinemax (Versova).
