A lot of movies were originally scheduled for release on October 6th before Diwali releases. Most of them are minimum budget movies that need space in theatres to make revenue.


The unexpected shutdown due to increased state taxes by Tamil Nadu government and the unconfirmed ticket pricing for theatres that are not multiplexes affected the films immensely. All the movies scheduled for Oct 1st week didn’t get released.

With Diwali releases like Mersal and other movies coming up, they have a slot to get released only in the first week of November for which the TFPC has extended its full support.


Movies including Vizhithiru, Uruthi Kol, English Padam, Oviyavai Vitta Yaaru and Merlin are expected to release on the same day, on Nov 3rd. Films originally scheduled for November will be postponed to a later date so that these delayed releases could get their due attention.
