June 29:<\/strong> Marathi actress Monalisa Bagal, who is geared up for the release of her film, Bhirkit, spoke at length about Bollywood vs South films debate. The actress said there is no dearth of good content in Hindi and Marathi cinema, but we are not getting enough screens to release our films. She said, \u201cMany amazing Hindi and Marathi films are being made, but they aren\u2019t getting the desired screens in Mumbai and Maharashtra overall because South films are getting dubbed, and all the screens are given to them. Our dubbed films don\u2019t get these many screens down South. When are the directors and writers supposed to wait for their content to be sent across to the audience?\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about her experience of not getting to watch a film in a theatre, Monalisa shared, \u201cLast month, there was a brilliant historical film released in Marathi, but we did not get any shows because there was a South film released around the same time. Then how are Marathi films supposed to work? How will the collection be seen? Similarly, for Hindi films. The content is good, but the shows aren\u2019t available, and I have experienced this for myself. Even on Hindi TV channels, a dubbed South film is often played. Aren\u2019t Hindi films available? I am not saying that doesn\u2019t release the dubbed films from the South but first give priority to the people of Maharashtra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monalisa also cited how this change affects the careers of young artists like her. \u201cI am at a young age where I am supposed to showcase my talent. How will I do that when there are no shows available? I can\u2019t do that in my 40s. I want somebody from our generation to come forward like the late Balasaheb Thackerey Ji and fight to get theatres for Marathi films. Our career will get over like this. People from the South film industry are coming to Mumbai, Maharashtra, where people don\u2019t have enough to eat, and they apply extra tax charges on the film tickets and earn massively. What about our people? Aren\u2019t we making good content? Aren\u2019t we investing money in making our film? The number of screens given to them is more, and even the rates of their tickets are 400-500 whereas our tickets are 200-300. It is our loss in this, and how do we expect our films to work? If the producer bears losses, how will he make a film again?\u201d<\/p>\n

Monalisa called this practice \u201cunfair.\u201d She said, \u201cI am not saying don\u2019t release their films. I am a huge fan of Kamal Hassan sir, Rajinikanth sir but give us also a chance. We are not getting enough screens, and this is injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without mincing her words, Monalisa also commented on Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu\u2019s comment that Bollywood can\u2019t afford him. Taking a jibe at him, she said, \u201cYou have married a Bollywood actress, a Maharashtrian, and you are saying that Bollywood can\u2019t afford you. I am speechless. If Bollywood can\u2019t offer you, then don\u2019t release your dubbed films here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marathi film Bhirkit\u2019s director, Anup Jagdale, also shared his concerns by adding, \u201cWe have a limited territory, and we are not getting screens in Maharashtra and Pune. The directors and filmmakers are facing a lot of problems. By the time we declare our film\u2019s release date, the theatres are already booked by them, and we have to wait and adjust our calendar as per their schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBollywood actors are also not getting enough respect there, and I will only speak for my region,\u201d concluded Monalisa. Talking about her film, Bhirkit was released on June 17, 2022.<\/p>\n
