Vinod Tawde, the state’s Culture Minister, said today that between 6 and 9 pm, at least one screen in a multi-plex must be reserved for a Marathi movie. “We just want to promote Marathi films. Why the opposition?” Mr Tawde said to NDTV. He said that the previous government, a coalition of the Congress and Sharad Pawar’s NCP, also made it mandatory for cinemas to show Marathi films but the rule was circumvented by owners “who only want to make money” by screening the regional films at odd hours. “So we made it mandatory during prime time,” said the politician who belongs to the BJP.
