Fiok said the government had given permission for the film to be screened at 50 per cent seating capacity, but had received complaints from the film’s producers that it was being screened with too many people in various theaters. The theaters that carried the most people did not show it in the collection records. According to the organizers, the theaters have done a great disservice to those who helped by giving the film to all the theaters when they did not dare to release any film.
