The Tamil Nadu Theatre Association boycotts Hassan's 'Vishwaroopam'- Tamil- IBNLive

Quote:
Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam faced more turbulence on Friday as a joint meeting held by the Tamil Nadu Theater Association(TNTA) boycotted the idea of premiering it directly on the distributed hash table.

The meeting took place in Chennai and the board accepted the idea of the Chennai Theater Federation, head by Abirami Ramanathan which suggested that DTH films shouldn't be screened in theaters.

The event also had another powerful body taking part, in the Tamil Nadu Distributors Federation (TNDF).

This agrees with the cable operators across Tamil Nadu who feel that their business will face disrupt with any DTH release. This makes the problem more complex for Kamal Haasan who is already facing issues in North India after multiplex giants PVR being against the Tamil DTH release. Apparently, the group worry that the idea will speak a similar change in Bollywood.

Admin has removed him as a mod now, so the feedback has been noted. esbeebee is also removed, but then he hasnt been on the site for a year now. So, I guess both the members nominated mods are sort of gone now.

Any way to get that ??
On postpaid your expiration date is probably the bill cycle only.

Calls from Somalia !

hey guys just received a call from +2522239624 which apparently is from somalia !! now here's the weird part. the person calling is a girl who says " please call me . yeh mera personal number hai, pl pl call me, mujhe tumse baat karni hai" and abruptly hangs up. ;P
looks like this is the new iteration of the missed call tactic. a quick google check says +252 is from somalia. so beware and don't ever call them !
