IPL has conveniently scheduled the tournament
from Apr 18 - Jun 1, ensuring that they
take the full share of the summer vacation.
Everyone will be glued to the TV sets over
the summer vacation, thereby leaving the
theatres empty during what has usually been
the best time for theatres. I really feel
sorry for the film making industry that
they have to put up with the overkill of
cricket at a peak time.
We are cricket crazy country and I don't
think any effort can change the dates of
IPL (I'm not against IPL, as it seems to
put India on a bigger stage - only against
the timing). I wish BCCI could be considerate
and rethink the schedule for the coming
years such that other entertainers get their
fair share from providing summer holiday
entertainment. Maybe the schedule could
be starting from May18 - Jul 1, where they
will still get a great viewership.
I will be watching with interest on how
some of the biggies like Dasavaratham and
Kuruvi are going to position their release.
I hope eventually people get tired of watching
an overkill of cricket and get out
to watch movies.
An avid movie fan!
