 Will Chief Minister Vijay bring back Tamil Nadu's 4 AM FDFS culture? Exhibitors make an EMOTIONAL appeal: "Early morning shows are the lifeline of cinemas"

There was a time when cinemas would screen just four shows a day, usually beginning around 11:30 am or 12 noon. But with the advent of multiplexes, the system changed. Exhibitors began experimenting with 9:00 am and 10:00 am shows, and the strategy worked. For high-profile releases, cinemas even started organizing shows earlier than that, at 8:00 am, 7:00 am and, in some cases, even at 5:00 am or 6:00 am. However, Tamil Nadu stands out as the only state where early-morning shows are tightly regulated. Here, the first regular show generally begins around 10:30 am or 11:00 am. For big-ticket releases, producers and distributors seek special permission from the state government, after which theatres are usually allowed to start shows from 9:00 am.

However, shows at 4:00 am or even earlier have not been permitted in Tamil Nadu in recent times. The last major instance took place during the Pongal 2023 clash between Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu and Vijay’s Varisu. While Thunivu had shows beginning as early as 1:00 am in Tamil Nadu, Varisu was allowed to be screened from 4:00 am. The celebrations, however, took a tragic turn when an Ajith fan died while celebrating the release of Thunivu. This episode further prompted the state government to clamp down on early morning shows.

Since then, the first show for a biggie starts at 9:00 am. Meanwhile, in other states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and even in centres like Mumbai, viewers get to catch highly-awaited superstar-driven films at 6:00 am or even earlier, creating an awkward and bizarre scenario. As one movie buff from Tamil Nadu told us, “Rajinikanth, Vijay and Ajith are the heroes of our state. They became heroes here, but we don’t get to see their films first. Viewers in other places are done watching the film and have shared their reviews by the time our show begins here.” It's also common for fans living in border regions of Tamil Nadu to travel to neighbouring states to catch the first day, first show. For instance, Coimbatore movie buffs head to Palakkad in Kerala, located just 60 kms away, so that they can see the film of their favourite star before sunrise.

Yesterday, May 10, a historic development took place in Tamil Nadu as Thalapathy Vijay was sworn in as the Chief Minister. He has been a member of the entertainment fraternity and as a result, exhibitors are hopeful that he’ll resume the early morning shows for upcoming biggies.

Ruban Mathivanan of GK Cinemas, Chennai, said, “This is a welcoming change. We are hoping the new government does all the important stuff to save the cinema industry and theatres.”

When asked about the 4:00 am shows, he replied, “These early morning shows were the lifeline of cinemas. They kept us going amid the competition from OTT. In fact, they were a major factor that separated us from OTT. They displayed the charm of cinemas in all its glory.”

Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi explained, “The early morning shows that used to take place in Tamil Nadu and continue to take place in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for superstar films are not just about maximizing revenue. They are a part of the cultural ethos of the cinema-going tradition. By taking that away, we have chipped away at a cultural aspect of cinema that was present in these states for so many years. I am sure Thalapathy Vijay will carry out his responsibilities as Chief Minister and focus on governance. But being from the entertainment fraternity, I really hope he also lays special focus on the culture and cinema of the state, and helps take Tamil cinema not just to the grassroots of Tamil Nadu but to the entire country and the world in a manner that only political will and tailwinds can enable.”

He continued, “I really wish that his coming to power ushers the golden age of Tamil cinema where great cinema is made and backed well, filmmakers and producers are given the freedom and encouragement to do their best. But he also gives that added impetus that sometimes only political tailwinds can enable. As our Honourable Prime Minister says, the entertainment industry is the soft power of the nation. So, I hope that he can work in sync on one side with the Tamil fraternity and on the other hand, the I&B ministry of India to take Tamil cinema beyond its existing borders and markets.”

Jana Nayagan: Loading soon?

Vijay has quit cinema and his unreleased last film, Jana Nayagan, is expected to see the light of day soon. Ruban Mathivanan said, “We are expecting it to release on May 21 or May 28. It’ll be a celebration!”

Sadly, the film got leaked last month and on this Ruban said, “That won’t be an issue at all. The film will open with a bang.”

Akshaye Rathi confirmed, “Given the euphoria there is among his fans thanks to his political debut, I feel that at least in terms of opening, Jana Nayagan will be pretty historic. Social media is abuzz that the opening slate, which usually says ‘Thalapathy Vijay’ for his films, should be changed to ‘Chief Minister Vijay’ for Jana Nayagan. If that happens, it would be very interesting!”

He signed his first order, which included free electricity, action against drugs and safety of women. While addressing the gathering, Vijay said, "An assistant director's son has now become a chief minister. I know poverty and hunger, I didn't come from a royal family. I faced a lot of hardships, may people humiliated me. I'm like your son, your brother. You have given me a place in your heart, accepted me."

He further added, "The DMK cleaned up state coffers and we have taken over with Rs 10 lakh crore debt (projected figure till March 2027). We will not take a single penny from people's funds and we will not allow anyone to loot the state."

Jaya Bachchan is strict as a mother to Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan, but treats Aishwarya Rai differently?

Jaya Bachchan has never shown any qualms in speaking her mind. This is exactly why her old interviews keep making headlines. In a throwback video, Jaya's candid moment and honest statement about daughter-in-law Aishwarya had once gone viral. During one of her earlier interactions, Jaya was asked if she was ever strict with Aishwarya after she tied the knot with Abhishek Bachchan. The veteran actress, true to her straightforward style, gave an honest reply. She said there was never any need for her to be the strict mother-in-law. Reason? That responsibility was already with Aishwarya's own mother. She said, "There is a difference between a daughter and a daughter-in-law, you know. I mean, I don't know why, but you don't feel you don't need to respect your parents. As a daughter, you take your parents for granted. With your in-laws, you can't do that." She further mentioned that there are chances that the relationship dynamics could change later. She said, "And later on, things change because today, I feel more a Bachchan than a Bhaduri."

Jaya also admitted that she was a "very strict" parent to her children Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan. On being asked if she's the same with Aishwarya Rai, she said, "Strict? She's not my daughter! She's my daughter-in-law. Why should I be strict with her? I'm sure her mother has done that for her."

Jaya also called her bond with Aishwarya warm?

While talking about their dynamic in an interview with Reddit, Jaya once said, "She is my buddy. If I don't like something about her, I tell her on her face. I don't do politics behind her back. If she disagrees with me, she expresses herself. The only difference is that I can be a little more dramatic and she has to be more respectful. I am old, you know. That's all."

Has Jaya ever lauded Aishwarya?

Jaya has often lauded Aishwarya and focused on her caring and strong nature. During an earlier appearance on Koffee with Karan, she explained that Aishwarya's presence brought happiness to Amitabh Bachchan, especially after their daughter, Shweta, was married. As Jaya said, Amitji sees Aishwarya as Shweta. "The minute he sees her, it's like he's looking at Shweta coming home." Jaya further mentioned that Aishwarya will fill the vacuum that Shweta had left.

Mother’s Day 2026: Ranveer Singh couldn’t hold back tears after his mother Anju Bhavnani opened up about his painful early rejections

While Ranveer Singh is currently enjoying the huge success of Dhurandhar 2. Much like other actors, Ranveer too faced several difficulties in his career before he emerged as a successful Bollywood star. His early days in the industry, saw him facing rejections. Even though Ranveer was talented and extremely passionate about acting, opportunities did not come easily for him. He too had to combat uncertainty, and the immense pressure to prove himself.

Ranveer cries in old viral video

An old video from his struggling days had gone viral on social media earlier this year. It was taken from Simi Garewal's chat show, where Ranveer's mother Anju Bhavnani explains the difficult phase before he became a Bollywood superstar. In the emotional chat, Anju reveals how Ranveer faced multiple rejections and harsh criticism during auditions. But not once, did he let his family see how badly it impacted him. According to Anju, he would quietly deal with the disappointment on his own and tried to stay optimistic at home. She further revealed that even though Ranveer had immense discouragement to deal with, he ensured never did the emotional burden of his failure affect his family.

Anju Bhavnani shared, "He would just come home and say, 'Mum, it is a bad day'. But being a mother, you realise that he is upset about something. He would shield us from a lot of what he went through at that time. Now, when he is successful, he comes and tells us the stories about what he actually did, and he protected us at that point from all the pain and rejection and comments that he had to hear. After hearing what he has to say now, you realise how much he has actually struggled, and he has come a long way."

Ranveer Singh couldn't contain his emotions as he heard his mother share her thoughts. His father Jagjit Singh Bhavnani also revealed, "As pessimistic as it may sound, I was like, let it happen, then we will see. When he told me he signed the film, I said I will only believe it when I see it because this had happened so many times before that it took time to sink in."

Ranveer Singh career

The actor kicked off his career in 2010 with Band Baaja Baaraat. Such was his performance that he bagged several accolades for it. He continued to win hearts with his successful films that included Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Dil Dhadakne Do, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, Gully Boy and now Dhurandhar, and Dhurandhar 2.
