Obsessed with Obsession? Anurag Kashyap calls out limited screenings for Indian films
India, June 15 -- Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has voiced his frustration over the way theatres are giving limited screen space to Indian films while continuing to schedule multiple shows for the Hollywood horror film Obsession, released on May 29.
Sharing his concerns on Instagram Stories (inset above), Kashyap said the issue was not the film's popularity but the lack of visibility for local releases. "If we don't prioritise our own films with better showcasing, then I don't understand how we will grow," he wrote.
Kashyap noted that his recently released film Bandar faced a similar challenge last week, while Main Vaapas Aaunga, Sing Geetham and Governor are now struggling to secure enough screens.
However, social media reactions seem divided on the matter. While some agreed with Kashyap, others think that quality content is what is missing from the Indian film industry.
A user commented, "You are making boring films like Bandar, what to say." Another wrote, "He has almost everytime delivered good content...We should genuinely prioritise our own cinema." One person shared, "First learn to give quality content then speak about showtimes. Don't teach theatres how to run."
Kashyap's comments come amid a crowded box-office weekend that saw nine films release on the same day: : Main Vaapas Aaunga, Governor, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Haunted 3D, Sing Geetham, Varavu, Disclosure Day, Backrooms and Heer Sara, raising concerns about screen availability and the impact on smaller titles during their crucial opening weekend. htc...
