Kamal Hassan justifies decision to releaseVishwaroopam on DTH
Unfazed by opposition from theatre-owners against his decision to release his Tamil film Vishwaroopam on Direct-To-Home (DTH) platform also, veteran actor Kamal Hassan today said the effort was an "evolutionary growth" and insisted it was the "way to go forward."
Seeking to assuage any apprehension, he said the effort of monetising his film has been done in a way without disturbing the "ecosystem of the cinema business."
Announcing a tie-up with Airtel DTH, one of the firms that will telecast his film on January 10, next year, he said the film would be released in 390-odd theatres but the aim was to take it to 450 in the state.
"Like satellite television this (effort of releasing the movie on DTH) is an evolutionary growth...the monetisation is very well-planned and we debated it with DTH companies without disturbing the ecosystem of the (cinema) business. This is the way to go forward," the 'Sadma' star said.

33- crores in 3 hours, people who had laughed now would understand kamal's tactics.
Airtel alone has 30 lakhs pre-booking for the film, so 30*1000=300 crores, so calculate the amt for including other 5 players.
If rs.1000 is too high, then let's see the calculation if you watch it with 3 members in a theatre.For first week, theatres would give rs.120 ticktet, popcorn along with pepsicola-rs.180, parking charge-rs.120 3 litres petrol-rs.210 so total is rs.1500. If i invest rs.1000 then i can watch it at the comfort of my home along with guests.
so those who had said dth wont have the revenue are still adamant that it wont do much business. But i am not sure about the Power supply.
im wishing kamal for this movie with whom i had an opportunity to have an friendship. With Thanks- Nag Ravi

According to me Theater experiance is Totally differance that Watching in DTH . Once a person used to watch in Theater then he will rarely watch in small TV compared to Big Screen. The audio effect is awesome in Theaters. If a DTH viewer goes to theater then surely he will go again to theater.

For a Movie Like Khiladi 786 and Dabangg 2, i would have opted DTH than going to Theatre and spend 700-800 bucks for 2 people.
