But there is another side to the coin. Quality films made by small producers usually don't find place in big theaters. OTOH, multiplexes offer a platform to screen such films. Theatres like Satyam regularly screen world class movies that lovers of serious cinema might otherwise miss out. Kasaravalli's 'Hasina' was premiered in Chennai last year. And I was told that it received a standing ovation. It must have been a proud moment for him, when his movies are not even available on DVD's today inspite of winning several awards. I am sure a lot more people would appreciate films like Veedu if they were to be made today, all thanks to Multiplexes.
