Nostalgic films drew the biggest crowds. Ushers told us, “Cinemas were full from morning till the last show. At multiple screenings of re-releases, viewers sang loudly in chorus, whistled, and recited dialogues throughout the screenings.”
Currently, theaters are running retrospectives on ANR (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) and Kareena Kapoor Khan, with multiple re-releases, which caught moviegoers‘ attention.Several films that didn’t pack theaters during their original run were sold out on Friday.
