Recently, the plan of IPL organisers to take the cricket show into theatres during the forthcoming third season has faced a huge protest. The UFO Moviez and Crown Infotainment- the firms that are behind the in-theatre telecast of IPL-3 matches - have run into stiff opposition to the idea from the producers' associations in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

They have unanimously decided not to allow the big screen telecast of IPL. Producers feel the alternate content will make a dent in their own earnings.

So users, do you think producers are right in opposing IPL-3 in cinema halls?

In a country like ours encouraging development of any form of craze is not good for the Nation and people. Already there is cricket craze and movie craze with various fan clubs, Fans of various politicains and Political Parties. People just dont think what games - stars, films-stars, Political Parties - politicians and  have contributed to the development of the country and uplifting the poor. Only contribution from them is they hipnotise people so much so that people give up their welth and life for them. I have not seen films with very good moral and theme changing the way people behave or their life style. People learn bad in Films very fast than the good. Cricket craze in this country is so much now if cricket is shown in Cinema Halls people, in particular the youth will not go to schools or work instead you will find them in cinema halls watching cricket. Of course Cinema Halls, people holding the right of telecast, IPL and the cricketers will make money and become rich overnight.

How can this move reduce movie market? Movie and Cricket are popular in their own places. If Movie is not good, it won't run anyway. Then whats the use of blaming cricket for that. By showing Cricket in hall, an cricket ground like environment is being created which should be appreciated.

Yes, ofcourse the producers are right to oppose IPL3 in cinema halls. Already the film producers are facing tough situations due to film piracy , release of film videos over internet. They earn only when the people come to cinema halls and see the movies. When IPL3 is released in cinema halls, it is certainly going to affect the movies performance. As majority of us are cricket lovers we would certainly think of going in to the cinema halls to watch the matches.

Yes, because they are not sure if this format of Game that has already put several sports and its own longer formats to slumber can hijack their income source as well.

They are right. This kind of telecast will attract people towards cricket more than movies which will be a great loss for the producers. Since in our country, cricket is more popular than movies, this step will reduce the market of movies.

What happened to the `THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE' i will decide what I want to watch where i want to watch. Tomorrow these producers will say we will only show Kannada or Tamil movies (Which they are trying to do-already done to a extend) then what.

Everybody is there to make money, we all struggle/fight to earn money. if one finds success rest are all jealous. They will form associations or rather a MOB and put pressure on you or in other words ask you `HOW ARE YOU EARNING MORE MONEY THAN US'. IF Lalit Modi decides to give them (producers) ROYALTY they all will shut there mouths.

You make quality movies and nobody can stop anybody (even IPL) from watching what they like. Low budgets movies with great storyline have earned lot of good money in front of movies who were backed by big companies and big budgets. yet people went and saw those movies.

So better you make quality work or anybody, todays its IPL tomorrow there would be HOCKEY, then what you will you do? I WILL WATCH WHAT I WANT TO WATCH AND THAT'S MY RIGHT.... PEACE.

I agree to an extent Namrata, yet whatever chances of success a bad movie may have may get further eroded.
