As a cinephile who has spent countless hours in the dimly-lit halls of movie theaters, I wholeheartedly agree with Tovino Thomas‘ sentiments. There is something undeniably magical about sharing the big screen experience with a room full of strangers, collectively immersed in the world created by our favorite filmmakers. The shared laughter, gasps, and tears are all part of the cinematic tapestry that makes going to the movies an unparalleled experience.
Tovino Thomas, preparing for the debut of his upcoming film Ajayante Randam Moshanam, granted a special interview to TopMob, discussing various topics. Among these, he shared his views on movies being released directly on streaming platforms, in response to director David Dhawan’s recent comments.
Tovino Thomas expressed his viewpoint, saying, “Every individual has their unique perspectives and methods, which I value greatly. However, on a personal note, I feel that cinema is most delightfully experienced when we watch it collectively as an audience. I cherish the experience of watching films in theaters, and there’s something truly special about sharing our emotions within this community.”
The Minnal Murali actor stated, “On the other hand, there are films I prefer to rewatch by myself. Some films I find myself watching repeatedly when I’m alone. Yet, it can still be enjoyable either way, but generally speaking, movies are meant for shared experiences.”
In a more casual and engaging style, the well-known actor pointed out that when we gather at cinemas to enjoy movies collectively, we often find ourselves aligning with similar viewpoints about what makes a film exceptional. Moreover, he emphasized the common practice of discussing movies with friends and peers following the viewing experience.
Tovino highlighted that the movie-watching experience in theaters differs significantly from viewing films on devices like phones, laptops, or even at-home theaters. He explained that this unique experience begins when one steps out of their home and concludes when they enjoy a bag of popcorn.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to emphasize another advantage of OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms: they can extend the reach of films even to regions where traditional theater releases aren’t feasible. These streaming services can potentially penetrate every household with a subscription, making them an accessible option for many. In my opinion, both theatrical and OTT releases have their merits, and it’s up to you to decide what suits your comfort level best.
