Distributors seek fair showcasing

The film’s distribution team approached exhibitors with clear screening requests. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri understands that Dhurandhar remains a strong contender and will continue to attract a large audience on Christmas, coinciding with their film's release. They are also aware that Avatar: Fire and Ash has claimed several shows and screens. Therefore, they have requested fair and reasonable showcasing, considering the circumstances."

The source further added, “The distribution team of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has requested at least 2 shows in theaters with 1 screen. . In venues with 2 screens, they have asked for 5 shows. Multiplexes with 3, 4, 5, and 6 screens should host 6, 8, 12, and 14 shows daily, respectively. Finally, for multiplexes with 7 screens or more, the film's team has requested 16 shows. This is the minimum number of shows they have sought,"

Release-day challenges

Despite these requests, the film is reportedly facing issues in securing enough screens. The source noted that bookings in larger multiplexes are limited. They explained, “Fortunately, Avatar: Fire and Ash did not release in single screen so these theatres only need to split shows between Dhurandhar and the romcom. However, this is still proving to be a challenge, as the demand for Dhurandhar remains high even after 18 days. Additionally, both Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire and Ash are over 3 hours long. Thus, managing showtimes among the three films in multiplexes will also be a challenge."
