Dil Raju Takes Action Against Free Balagam Screenings
X
Balagam movie has become the center of controversy in Telangana, as free open-air screenings of the film have become increasingly popular, drawing large crowds and sparking concerns among movie producers. The trend began in a few villages and has since spread to hundreds, with photos and videos of the screenings going viral on social media.

Producer Dil Raju has complained to the Nizamabad SP about the screenings, claiming that illegal downloads from Amazon Prime are being distributed for free, violating the Exhibition Act, which requires permission from the producer to shoot a film outdoors.

The complaint has sparked debate about the legality of the screenings and has led to discussions about the future of the movie industry in the digital age.

Some have suggested that the producer's decision to release the movie on OTT platforms just 20 days after its theatrical release may have contributed to the trend of open-air screenings. However, regardless of the cause, the screenings have become a popular source of entertainment for many families in Telangana.

The situation highlights the challenges faced by the movie industry as it adapts to changing consumer habits and technologies. With the rise of digital platforms and the increasing popularity of free screenings, producers may need to reconsider their release strategies to prevent the loss of revenue and ensure that their films are enjoyed by audiences in a legal and ethical manner.
