WANT LAXMMI BOMB IN THEATRES cry fans

Laxmmi Bomb a horror-comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani was supposed to release on May 22nd initially. However, the Coronavirus pandemic and consequent lockdown have ensured all the plans of filmmakers need to be geared towards a new topography.

Some Bollywood movies announced a digital release keeping in mind the uncertainty and the unfortunate closing of theatres which has delayed releases and has also made profits and pull to theatres uncertain. The economics of filmmaking is making it such that producers are being forced to look for alternatives that will sustain them through the crisis. 

Still, there are factors to be considered. Such as audience perception towards theatres, the guidelines which will restrict occupancy and whether the audience will come in the same numbers. Moreover, how long will completed films have to shit on shelves till it's all sorted. 

Fans, however, have their own mind. Those who are not convinced by the digital release are hoping to catch Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb on the big screen. Moreover, they are looking at it from the point of view of the viewing experience of the film.

There's still a lot of debate, considering that there was some talk initially about Laxmmi Bomb getting a digital release on Hotstar. However, nothing is confirmed yet and maybe it's important to note, no matter how the film releases if it's a good film it will work regardless. Perhaps, that's too optimistic.
