It’s curtains down for screens amidst rising pandemic fear Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA The resurgent pandemic has once again cast a dark shadow over the economic revival of the Malayalam film industry. Nearly 60% of the 720 screens across the State started downing its shutters from Monday onwards in view of the fresh curbs imposed by the authorities and the lack of new releases following the worsening COVID-19 situation, according to the estimates by the Film Exhibitors’ United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK). “With second shows off the air in view of the new restrictions, the collections have been hit badly. A few theatres in the city limits may run a show or two for a few more days while the rest would have no other option but to stop screening,” said K. Vijayakumar, president of FEUOK.
